Anyone else think it's weird there is no "Golden" Greek

[thejager]

Who else wants a GOLD version of some kind of GG???

I know some people have plated them,...but to be truly named "Golden" Greek...shoudlnt there be something Gold in the lineup??


Or is "Golden" in the name just identifying the character of the Greek...a truly "golden" Greek...as in "holy" or "transcendent"


Still id love to see a gold GG...even if i am sure i woudlnt be able to afford it

There will be plenty soon enough with the brass top and bottom tubes, as well as the brass 4in1 top. I picked up those peices as I've got plenty of the other brass bits (telescopic tubes, buttom cap and buttons). Still not sure if I'll even use it to be honest, brass (and aluminum) is such a pain to keep looking nice, that's the reason most of us who had V1s and V2s were so excited about the SS, so much less polishing!!!

i agree...and i have all the new brass stuff comign too... but i guess i was thinkign a true "gold" version of at least some part...maybe a gold mouthpiece...gold bottom cap...something

I am afraid the all gold ggts would tear your pocket instantly
I always laugh when seing someon in the movie handling easily those big bars of gold during bank robery.

Gold is too dense and therefore too heavy.

an ALL Gold one woudl indeed be too heavy.... though a solid or nicely plated gold mouthpiece...control ring...button top...bottom cap....

that might be just thething to make a "true" "GOLDEN" Greek

The "Golden Greek" applies to Imeo's personality guys. After meeting the man and having chatted to him over coffee and a few drinks and a meal I can assure you he is the real deal. What you see (or rather read) is what you get.

I met Imeo on these pages and I was shocked to realize that when we met in person he's exactly as I thought he would be. I can safely say that there are very few real people around nowadays like Thanasis. I'm extremely proud to call him my friend

i love these types of posts

Brass will be great for me, However, I dont mind constant shining and it WILL need that to remain shiny. If not it will dull in a few days.

 

[Bubbertyboo]

Yea but it will look unique with a nice patina though so really looking forward to the brass.

Ok Bubb - you post brass patina picks and I'll take care of the shiny ones. Love your gold one - looks boss - do you use it much - I don't think I would use it if I had one like that, would be too worried about scratching it.

i was thinking about letting my brass go...and let it petina all over.... especially with the new brass stuff being made for preorder

No the gold one is my show piece I have 6 gg's now and I only use 2 of them the rest are collection pieces.

I have 1 SS GGTS now and I've added brass telescope, bottom cap, connector and top cap. It sure is pretty when it's all shined up with Cape Cod. Just need to wipe it down every 2-3 days to keep it looking good. And I'll be doing more of that before long since I've got 2 more of the COV brass editions coming.

Thank you very much captain. I said some things on Greek forum about our meeting but after your post on English GG threads I want to say what I said on Greek forum. You are one of the best persons that I have met in my life. Be always well my good friend

I couldn't wish for a greater complement. The respect and admiration is mutual dear friend.

I'll post the brushed brass pics when all my brass goodies come in. I did a brushed look with a scotch-brite pad on my brass battery cap and button and it looks great. Honestly, I like all three finishes...shiny, patina, brushed. Might have to have one of each lol.
