Second order, is it really gold plated?

White chocolate is sugar and cacao butter (aprox 25%)
So the Suisse manufacturers messed with my head and overcharged me. Guess I might as well eat shitty North American chocolate like Snickers, Mars and Butterfinger.

Maybe we should tag a chocolatier here. Or let a moderator move this thread to a technical subforum
Think @BMW760 would be the perfect chocolatier for the job. How many microns of cacao butter do you think is in each piece of the chocolate. I am sure he would be able to tell us the correct answer.

Smh. Of course the plating done by a trained and highly established gold smith like Nikz is going to be needed to be judged on a separate basis. At the end of the day the price for this will be significantly higher than the plating process that’s done by the factory making the watch.

Several plated and wrapped watches have been tested in the past and have turned out to have very marginal to no gold content.

Now please. If you want to discuss this further do it in the gold wrapping / plating thread I linked before or by PM, NOT here.

Pretty sure everyone knows this besides BMW, not sure why the mod stated gold plating is just a treatment coloring, rather than actual gold being deposited on the metal. Hopefully he’ll respond what he meant.
As seen in my post above. The way it’s done is non refutable obviously.
The gold plating of some rep factories has been tested in the past and has turned out to not deliver any results of it containing gold after various tests.
Again, as I said, please do not confuse anything that has been said as trashing anyone’s (TDs or modders offering plating services) sales as it is a completely different matter. At the end of the day you will get what you pay for. If, for example, you’re going with Nikz to do your gold plating it will definitely be of different standard than a regular rep plating that’s done by the factories.
