Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
For watches that are not of real gold, but look like it because of gold plating/colour, is it also recommended to avoid because of resemblance to real gold?
Walaikum assalam,
It is better, though not strictly speaking necessary, to avoid such watches, because of the fiqhi principle that, “Something close to another takes of its ruling,” and the general recommendation to avoid doubtful matters.
Wassalam,
