AP screws white gold plating

[Nikz19]

Hi fellas, glad to introduce you a new service: white gold plating on AP bezel screws.

As we all know, there are some terrific AP reps. All of them, however, have the bezel screws in the exact same color of the case. As following:

The screws are first removed and their head gets plated in a first layer of yellow gold.

Last, a coating in a white gold mix consisting of yellow gold, palladium and silver. I don’t use nickel to avoid any allergy issue.
Here is the final result, please forgive some fingerprints.

Great job, the shine looks much warmer, good upgrade for sure.

I will be PMing you as soon as I get into my place. Can you show a side-by-side of a plated and non plated screw? Would like to compare them.

Will do on the next AP. I’ll be posting the pics here.

Thanks!

Happy to say that I’m the owner of one of the first 15500 with white gold plated bezel screws and up close they look amazing such a gen like quality finish, nik also realigned the hands and softened the inside bracelet, overall an amazing job happy to have worked with nik, I recommend him to everyone, definitely one of the best out there!

How does a hex head screw rotate in a hex shaped recess?

They do not rotate, but rather are fixed in this way. The screws are unscrewed at the back, on the backcase.

That really looks awesome - still pending to get a price / price indicator if possible. Very interested in getting my 15500 to the next level.

Otherwise this might get a lot of PMs just to ask for a price.

Thanks

Cost is 50€. It includes disassembly, plating and reassembly.
Stay safe mate!
