Flandad, for the watch that I received what would be a tell tale sign that it has or hasn't been replated?
A few things:
1) I use palladium in the mix for RG so it will have a lighter more pale appearance in bright light or sun and won’t get that dark copper look.
2) I use a cobalt hardness so it’s very durable. You could sacrifice a link and scratch it. You could also take some cape cod and work it on half the middle link until you remove the plating and start to hit the stock base pvd that was acid etched vs the plated half.

3) I do a final dry polish so it would of been extremely clean and with a luster shine ✨ upon opening the case.

4) under a loop on the clasp crown you might be able to see where I missed hard to get to crevices in the final polish and missing any areas, maybe not always the case.

I’ll say this much, I’ve bought 5 or 6 watches from Flan/Aseem and have only had one issue with any watch. It was on a white gold YM 42, I contacted them and sent the watch back to Flan and it was fixed and sent back to me in less than a week.

Say what you want about either of them but they will continue to get my business. Waiting for the service to be done my new 126500 right now as a matter of fact.

I will check around the crown on the clasp under microscope and let you know.

Do you plate the bezel and crown also?

You don’t need a micro scope to see if I plated a watch lol. That was one point. I show side by side comparisons ALL the time ! Plus it’s clear even on this thread people want to bash me only, haha I wonder why 😜. The one guy commented he had a great experience with us and immediately Maximiliangt shut him down (as if the post doesn’t ask for Flan dad info… so you can only reply bad thing about flan_dad or else 😅

How did I shut him down? And did he really shut down? I have nothing to do with your reputation.

The OP made this thread asking for info about Flan in the title…. The one person who said they had a good experience you asked who asked him ? Basically saying who cares what you have to say…

How is that not trying to shut him down ?

I did see you say “who asked you ?” To the guy in this thread saying his watch didn’t get plated”

So yeah anyone who can read can see this…

I have work to do as much as I would like to stay and message back and forth.. take care 👍🏻

Hey, don't blame others for your shitty service. Don't use a jam jar to plate things next time might help.

If you are so damn busy why bother to come back? It is not like the OP is the first one to complain about your work and definitely won't be the last. Why bother?

I have read this 3 sites and must say its a total clown show.
"I am the best period" versus "i know all about xy".

We have a saying here that goes like this:

"Pack beidi ine Sack u hou mitem Chnüppu druuf de breichsch garantiert dr richtig"

Means basicly if you put those idiots in a bag and hit the bag, the chance is 0% you hit the wrong idiot😂
