Hi buddy

I think there might be modders with such services available.

Need to probably do a little search for the rescue job.

Thanks

The problem with a bluesy is the fact that you have to take apart the bracelet, as it's two colored.
I asked a few modders about that and they all did only complete plating. So I bought another bracelet.

 

[trustytime]

Yes thats right. A two tone bracelet and case is very hard to do the plating service.

Does anyone in the USA plate THB Tungsten? I've only seen china based technicians doing it.

Apparently it is possible to plate two tone without disassembly per two people (that plate) I’ve spoken to.

Possible if you know the way. But many platers are crap. It is super obvious when it is not disassembled and plated - because of side links and the area around the clasp crown. I see blemishing and all sorts of stuff and peeling in these areas on shitty two tone plating.

can you PM me? I am not finding much on the forum beyond one that seems controversial

Welcome! I want to learn about plating too, it’s intimidating
