People tend to see, what they want to see, or have been told to see, regardless of reality. But damn, the standards have became very very low for labelling someone that..

OP: platings are a bitch, unfortunately, and they will get worse with wear and general age. Might be a good idea to stick to stainless steel models in the future or just get the watch replated. JTime, however, definitely has nothing to do with the issue.

There is a difference between banter made in jest in the Reported thread for example, and this one where the trolling intent is pretty clear.

It was clearly "casual racism" used as agression and laced with innuendo. @rolex4me is reading it right, and many others too.

Casual? 😉

More like "obvious".

There is a Chinese buffet near me now that you mention it. They have a mean fried rice but I am more partial to shrimp lo mein.

I don't see what the big surprise is. You can't honestly expect a watch plated in china not to wear, tarnish, flake, or whatever else happens to them.
There are skilled platers who can re-plate, but it's not cheap.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I would never own a plated watch because I consider the finish temporary, as I wear the hell out of my watches and don't want steel showing through and looking like shit. If you're careful though, a quality plating job should look good for a reasonably long time. One from china though? Unlikely.

Imagine buying a fake watch from China with a fake gold plating and then whining about it being fake shit and when getting called out on it, reacting with Sino-specific racism and an English grammar and typos as if your IQ is actually negative.

Imagine being THAT pathetic.

Well, you don't have to imagine....

You can find it all here on a thread that's only 3 pages long. 🤣
