Hi,
I kinda new here, you did the plating yourself i guess? If so, which what case did you start with? (I mean steel/RG plated already?)
Is that your pieces or you did these on demand?
Any chance to have some pics on these watches after a year or two? I've read here an interested post about the gold plated Rolex, and some turned copper.
Bty, they look so good !! Thanks
No matter what plating is done, it will not be permanent in terms of color or consistency.
Flying-tommy's plating is good as far as this hobby goes, but like any of us he cannot beat the logic of science and nature.
You will be reassured however to know that even gen gold watches change color over time when exposed to sunlight, mineral from our body perspiration and the atmosphere, and heat. I have seen discolored gen gold APs before more than I would have liked to.
Having seen firsthand
flying-tommy 's plating work, I can attest that the color is close enough to pass off as gen, taking into account that the gold tone of brand new gens will differ from the gold color of say, a watch which has been worn consistently for 2 years under the tropic sun. Gold plating color, like solid gold alloy 22k purity and below, WILL react to the elements over time. Both 18K solid gold (used by luxury watch makers) and plated gold are not immune to tarnish or color changes.
