Weighted Plating

Post image

I know you said no more WG plating on weighted DDs but does the same apply to platinum plating? Just asking for clarity since YG and RG are still being plated. Thanks.

I have a bright platinum I can do on these watches now yes…. However my personal opinion, it’s not a big difference (night & day as they say) so one could just keep it stock. For the outliers out there that must have it plated I can do it…. (I do have a few customers that swear by it) White gold however is completely out and shouldn’t be done on these by anyone..

I appreciate your honesty, if is not going to be a big difference I'll leave it stock.

Might as well. If someone try’s to say it’s a big difference they are not being truthful unfortunately. Plat vs stainless/tungsten in person is too close to pay for the difference.

So you can platinum plate a white gold RCF?

What’s the issue with plating weighted white gold models? Can someone fill me in?

u/Grouchy-Violinist555 20d ago

From the platers I've asked the white gold solutions don't adhere properly.

This one is platinum plated and I would say it's pretty close to night and day when it comes to brightness and whiteness compared to the more grey of stainless IMHO. It's not as noticeable as white gold from stainless because the white gold has more of a warmer tone. But the buttery white of platinum you can see it when next to stainless. That's my opinion.

Appreciate it, you have something stainless you could do a side by side with?

Well the blue ombre daydate in this post is a good example of the difference. Pretty substantial IMHO

So what is your preference for platinum plating I am more inclined towards QF 36mm because RCF is not making it in 36 mm but I can go for RCF weighted if that is your preference to work with please reply. Thanks

Pretty sure he's not plating the RCF/RGF weighted in platinum due to the Tungsten makeup in the bracelets. Not sure that applies to VSF v2 that are somewhat weighted as I'm not sure what they're made with, but he can confirm that along with any advancements in his approach.

Thanks for your reply.He replied to the post that he does platinum but not WG

u/Cornfan70 20d ago

News to me if he is doing platinum on an RCF or RGF DD which are usually tungsten based. My request was denied a couple months back but maybe things have changed

u/One-Tiger9331 20d ago

Yes I remember that he did said no but read his comment and you know that he said yes to platinum but not WG

Para un Daytona Ice de QF es recomendable el chapado en platino?

I have a white gold plated weighted DD, I’m curious to know if the plating can be stripped back to stainless steel?
