I have been told the bend would be better stated as "bordered surmounted of another bend gold (or)".
Does that make sense to anyone?

Not to me. We all know what a fimbriation is, and your bend is fimbriated. It could be argued that it is a 'a bend Or surmounted by a bend Murry', but not the other way round. As far as I can see, the blazon is correct.
My only quibble is the expression 'butt-capped'. It sounds like a dodgy activity. As in, "What did you do on the week-end?", "Oh, I went butt-capping, with some friends."

perhaps "garnished Or" would be a better choice of words, although it not very specific.
Garnished - Used to describe the decoration on charges such as pieces of armour, bugles, horns etc., when of a different tincture from the charge itself.
