Is there a quick way to identify a WG bracelet from a SS bracelet besides weighing them? Any hallmarks to look for? I maybe super paranoid, but want to make sure I get a WG bracelet when I get my 116509.

Thanks in advance.

White Gold will have proper hallmarks.

Between SS and WG bracelets, which scratches easier?
Thanks.

The gold will scratch if you stare at it long enough. If your are ocd about scratches I would highly reccomend not buying a gold watch.

The weight will be the dead giveaway. Then as Larry said the hallmarks will be clear as day. Additionally the colour will be obvious.

Every gold bracelet has markings in the back from what I have seen. The color will be slightly different too and obviously the weight.
