A short demonstration showing how I plate watch cases. Here I'm using 18ct gold hard plating solution to plate to 10 microns. Find out more about Margolis Watch co at www.margoliswatch.co.uk.
Very helpful video! BTW: Have you found a way to tone down the yellow cast to your plating? I would like to have an outcome that would be a bit more towards an ochre cast. Is that possible?
Is it possible to gold plate a cheap modern watch? I've been looking for a nice gold watch with a specific look and the only ones I find are vintage winding ones but I also want the accuracy/reliability of a modern quartz. Is it possible to take a cheap $30-50 mass produced watch and gold plate the case/dial/hands in a rose gold? I'm not worried about the financial practicality, just need a nice looking color that only rose gold seems to satisfy. tia
Wow awesome. I need to find a place that will take small jobs eg to remove old plating, return to me so I can polish my old watch case and send back for new plating
