BTF V3 - 116519 Daytona - New Release

[repreg123]

Yea Nikz19 WG plating is on point..
I was on vacation and ran into someone wearing a gen 116619LB in my hotel lobby while I was sporting my VSF plated by nikz.. I walked up and we got chatting and I told him mine was a rep but plated and we took em off and compared.. metal color was the same. He was pretty shocked that the only obvious difference was the weight lol...

Just the kind of messages I like to read, thanks
Real life feedback, no matter how they market it it’s pretty darn close. I installed genuine bezels, crowns.. No one ever complained about any color difference. So whatever they call it and sell me for- it works. That’s all I want to know eheh

Nope lol. I just ask Nikz to start a project and plate it WG, and he does it. He doesn't ask me 10 questions about other metals. He knows what people want and just does it. I guess you can be overly neurotic about it, Yogi but at the end of the day, I don't think anyone is trying to get scientific. We just want something that is going to work on a sub-thousand-dollar rep.

That's on you to ask the questions not Nikz. Nikz has no obligation to teach you anything. It's your job to be the educated consumer and if you don't then that's okay too.

My information in this post is to educate the consumer that wants to learn what he's buying. Simple as that.

Leaving this one in and I’m then out off topic- here is a replated noob case with a genuine WG bezel installed (hands and dial as well yep). Let them call whatever they like, I might also be color blind but to me it looks the same

You are doing my dj bezel when I get my hands on it, as queried on whatsapp :thumbsup:

The fact of the matter is you started off in this topic stating WG plating doesn't exist, and that only rhodium plating exists which looks nothing like WG.

Call whatever process Nikz does anything you'd like, semantics aside, there is in fact a plating to be done that looks exactly like WG to the human eye. End of

I don't recall saying only rhodium plating exist?

Nikz later confirmed it doesn't exist by saying he uses platinum plating solution.

You said WG plating doesn't exist. That the person thought of rhodium plating. Did you not? There is a plating done that effectively looks exactly like WG as per Nikz statements. So therefore, in essence, WG plating exists.

Or are you going to semantics your way out of this and say that's what you meant all along? :laughing:

There isn't a plating that looks like WG. That's Nikz opinion. Nikz is using platinum plating solution which is an alternative to rhodium. Nothing is sold as WG plating solution.

So Nikz is wrong in his view that the plating looks like WG. Got it.

Me and Nik both have our opinion on the appearance just like others. It doesn't need to be about who is right and who is wrong.

 

[oceaon]

I think you would argue with a sign post lol

 

[cyprusdaedalus]

Sooooooooo anyway... anyone have an ETA on seeing some real pictures of the watch this thread is actually about? Any TD's mention a price?

They actually call it platinum white gold, as I said previously, and their selling agent advertise it as a platinum/gold mix. It does indeed look like white gold- please check the pics I posted mate. I’d love your professional opinion and if you can see any difference between the gen bits installed and what they advertise. I honestly can’t.

Wait Nik, are you sure it's not palladium mixed with silver and gold like pallaspeed? That's what it sounds like you are describing and to be fair your pictures look more like palladium than platinum. Can you show a pic of the solution?

Let's keep this thread on track with the BTF V3 release. No more bs about platings, create a PM for that or a dedicated thread Yogibear
