I'm curious what the convention is for gold consumer electronics at EoL. Do you bring it into a jeweler and get the gold casing pried off and melted down?

Ultimate planned obsolescence and an ultimate flex.

People have repurposed gen0/1 AW's into mechanical watches with a bit square-ish case.

I kinda expect a YouTube video to exist of a Chinese hardware hacker transplanting the Watch Series 9 innards into an obsolete gold (or better: ceramic) Apple Watch case.

I’m not sure it will beat the S&P 500 or Apple stock, but I’d bet that an OG Apple Watch Edition will hold its value better than the gold you’d melt out of it.
