If $17,000 is a little out of your price range for the Apple Watch Edition Gold, then there are options available to you for gold plating your $399 version of the Apple Watch for about $10,000. One Geneva based company is called Golden Dreams. The company also offers hand engraving and hot stamping services for an added price so that you could add a name or special message.

The other company that could provide you with a gold plated Apple Watch is Los Angeles based WATCHPLATE. All the ordering is online. If you feel comfortable with that, then check out the company's website here.

I'm sure that you've all been waiting for this option. I can see you smiling now. Yes, for about $10,000 you can have your dream watch at a discounted price and your friends will never know. Who needs groceries when you can have a wrist watch for just $10,000? If you budget right and eat beans for a year, the gold plated Apple Watch could be yours!

Dream a little and then take a deep breath and begin laughing. Then again, if you carry $10,000 in cash in the glove compartment of your new Porsche for spare change, then perhaps this is the deal you've been waiting for.
