My understanding is that there is specifically a difficulty with the white gold plating process on tungsten. Thanks for your reply.

- Thread starter Le_Connoisseur
- Start date
If you want to reach out to him, best to do so via PMI just found a video on YT, about WG plating rings. It was 7 years ago … I think there is no problem to do it 7 years later. Can @Nikz19 confirm ?
Thanks

Mine came in last week. Waiting on a few parts then off to plating/mods. Went for Buff hands instead.
Case shape/finishing and clasp finishing are to my liking. For me, its well suited to be a tungsten base with a decent enough rehaut and DD4130. I had planned to swap almost everything on it anyway.
Movement winds smooth.

I’d be interested in seeing this too. Wanted to do a RG meteorite dial l build and was leaning more towards clean RG 116515 as the base as had heard/read the rehaut wasn’t great on any of the tungsten models?. Only issue with the clean version is the weight from what I’d seen…
First page here is the Jtime listing and some QCs, on Jtime's page it can be seen clearly.
