How much of the WG watches are WG?

Bracelet? Dial? Bezel? Hands? Movement?

Not the movement. Case (including, or 'excluding' some bonus sneaky hollow compartments inside). Bezel, hands.

All external metal parts that you see should be gold.

The dial IS made of white gold, the hands, the appliqués, bezel, case & bracelet. Just the movement and spring bars etc are not gold.

The springbars are gold and very expensive to replace.

Spring bars are not 18K. I believe they would be too weak . Are they 9 K? That is what I read. Anyone??

not sure about Rolex but other brands do use 18k springbars and they seem to be fine for those brands
