Noble Collection Time Turner question

[darthgordon]

So I was wondering what the difference is between the two different versions of the Noble Collection Time Turners.

Time Turners: WBshop.com - The Official Online Store of Warner Bros. Studios

Aside from the obvious, gold/ silver and the price. Is there any particular reason to pay more than double the price for the silver one?

Because solid sterling silver is worth more than gold plated.

It looks to me like it takes 50 oz. of silver to buy one oz. of gold.

Anyone have any reference of the REAL prop???

The original was on display at ComicCon this year... here's one of the images found of it with a bit of google-fu::

Here's the best screencaps I could find:

So I guess gold is the way to go.

I've held the gold one, and it really feels cheap, plasticky almost. Just be aware of what you're buying. It looks pretty good, though.

The best one I've seen so far is the Japanese made promo. You can find them on eBay for about $100 or less now. I have the Japanese one and the NC and the promo is much nicer. The color looks more realistic, it really spins, and the engraving is really sharp. The NC one is made to sit in the display box.

If the gold one feels really cheap... I wonder then what the silver one feels like? Anyone know?

Thats good to know since the time turner was something that I was looking into. Now the engravings on the Japanese version are they filled in with anything to better read it?

The Japanese version is definitely the one to go for.

Darth,

Buy the gold plated one. After all it was gold colored in the movie. The sterling one is just that...sterling......some people will buy this to wear and want a real precious metal or they just like sterling. Its also an excuse to raise the price to a ridiculous level just because its made of sterling even though there wouldn't be even an ounce of silver in it....my guess it would be under an ounce. I'm sure because I examined mine. Theres a huge markup when it comes to jewelery so buy the gold plated one especially if you just want one to display.
