@och thanks for the suggestion. I was planning on getting it replated. I guess that would be more effective to get that spot out right?

The spot seems to be some residue from the original plating, and I rubbed it off softly with Cape Cod which it worked.

You can definitely consider re-plating but you'll have to make sure the color ends up exactly the same with the other parts and more so, like gen. Otherwise, it will look different.

Another option is just buy the parts separately (if available).

I'm curious if the crown will get faded or gold color plating comes off over time? Everytime we unscrew and wind

It depends on how many microns are plated onto the SS.
There aren't much information around but a quick google suggests people claiming BPF plates their watches around 5 microns. If Clean does 5 microns, this will last you for years.

Great video, in the comments sections someone asked about weight and it seems to only be a 30g difference between the real deal. Can anyone confirm this? Seems like a perfect rep if the weight is so close since everything else looks spot on. Haven't bought a rep for 2 years now maybe it's time to get back into the game now
Yay I would like to be sure on that info, does anyone know exactly the weight? And what can be possible to do to add few g? Does plating add some g? I could be very happy to reach 150g at least

Is anyone's plating actually wearing off though? So far, we've just seen the residue that can be cleaned off, right?

Very tempted to buy this piece, is this the most accurate colour\version? I also like the sunburst dial a lot
