Are solid gold wheels mechanically better than brass, or is it just because they can?

 

I wouldn't think so, gold, is a much softer metal than the brass conventionally used in watch movements and I suspect solid gold components, even if made of 9ct (0.375% gold), would wear out appreciably faster than their brass equivalents......
