The darker rectangle around the clock is throwing things off and making the clock area appear lighter than it is. Cover the darker rectangle with a finger and see how the contrast lessens dramatically.
Also, in the picture I quoted you can see the difference in sparkle between the base white (none) and the gold mist (sparkly).
And as for the lacquer theory, yellow =/= gold. |

my 2ยข:
Punker's was originally white, shellacked, and yellowed.
The Weli in question I believe is in fact a Gold dip. Why is that so hard to believe seeing as how silver dips are pretty common?
I don't have any real fact to base this on, just my guess from looking at all the pics at hand. Gold, along with a handful of other colors, is very difficult to accurately photograph.
Besides the huge hole in the shnozz, its a really cool deck. |

Lacquer would also yellow the skull.
Gold pearl sprayed over white dip?

| Sticks, The scratched off area appears to be raw white bonite material, which I believe is like masonite or fiberboard. |

I think it looks uneven because I had to tilt the deck when photographing to get the glare away from the center of the deck. The nose is not uneven. |

Looks like the pearlescent white colour to me, but been hanging in a pack-a-day smoke filled room for 20 years.
I have a pearlescent white S+S skeleton background and the finish sparkles just the same but doesn't looks so dirty. |

Deech - I think you're off.
1- wouldnt the skull be dirty/browned/yellowed too if it were indeed dirty from a smoke filled room
2- wouldnt the dark spot under the clock guts be lighter if in fact it were dirty/browned from being in a smoke filled room
3- doesnt the dark spot under the guts kinda give clue that the deck was indeed a darker color originally and faded from light over time (as it doesn't seem to have a really dark saturated color, although the gold sparke is apparent to me)
I just don't see why it's so hard to accept that its a gold dip... 
And why you wouldn't want to trade it to me....  |

| Is it at all possible that the board was painted white, but was discovered to have some sort of flaw at the paintshop, then coated with some transparent/translucent gold flake, screened, and made into a clock? |
