I've just received through Amazon a pair of what were advertised as Dimarzio Titan humbuckers.  They looked fine, great packaging etc, just over $210 USD for the pair but...  I'd ordered the gold covers, and on one of them the "gold" seems to be a yellowish dye which started coming off within the first minute.  i.e. just wiping off a fingerprint with a soft dry tissue smudged/wiped off much the yellow to leave bare chrome, or faintly yellow chrome, behind.  Now it's a hotch-potch of bright chrome, bright gold, and lemon-tinted silver.   Strangely the other one has remains "gold", but obviously if it's the same there's no way it's going to age like the rest of the gold hardware.   Would I be correct in assuming they must be fake and real Dimarzios would have an actual gold plating of some sort?
