I didn't say you had posted a 5506, I said you had posted another gold capped model with gold on the underside of the lugs.

The one you posted, the 6694 is not gold plated. It is gold capped and, like the 5506, appears to have gold on the underside of the lugs.

Look at the underside of more 5506 and 6694 models and you will see the relatively thick gold cap very clearly, like this one:

The 6694 I posted above does not have a thick gold cap edge on the underside of the lug. And the plate is actually flaking off under the bezel

Here is the inner case back from the 5506 you posted that even says "plaque" 40 microns
