How much gold is in a gold Rolex.

[mcorliss]

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how much gold is actually in a gold Rolex any way? If you backed out the weight of the movement, how much value are you getting in going from Stainless to Gold on say a Submariner...or any other gold model. Reason I ask is, since you can usually get them for a healthy discount, at what point do you hit intrinsic value. Wouldn't it be pretty neat if you could ever get to the point of parity?

Price paid = value of gold.

Wishful thinking, but would be a pretty neat wearable store of wealth instead of just having gold sitting in a safe.
