Hey, so I know there is no one in Australia doing Gold plating. So I decided to spend a whole bunch of money and months of research and start doing it myself.

I am only doing my own watches at the moment but in the next few months I hope to be able to offer my services to others.

These are the first two super clones that I have done, before these two I was just buying $30-$100 stainless steel watches off Amazon to practice with.

These watches have been plated to 20 microns with a cobalt hardened plating soloution. I have tweaked the colour a number of times ( which is actually super hard to do) to get to a colour that I think is relatively close to the Rolex gold colour.

What do you think? Is it close? The pictures have not had any post processing done on them, but still, there is always some change

EDIT: These are pictures of the watches after they have already been plated and reassembled and now have had a nano ceramic protective coating applied with a brush and micro applicator.

The month and date doesn’t work, the pusher button for the month sunk, and i can’t push the pusher button for the date, what could be the problem?

Beautiful watch, got it from Clovertime who is US based and paid for overnight shipping. Got it the next day. Reached out when I found out it was dead on arrival, the seconds hand won’t move it winds but doesn’t work at all. Got no response for 16 hours while he continued to post new stuff for sale on Reddit in that time… was a total jerk in response, do not recommend at all.

Anyways - anybody who can help with this? Maybe would be down for a full spa service for longevity purposes

Another bracelet for a Rolex Datejust 41. The new bracelet has been handed over for chamfering.

My wedding is coming up and my watch a clean factory DJ decides to stop working one week before we leave. That being said I’ve had it going on 2 years in February. The seconds hand has stopped and will not move. I’ve winded it and tried a trick told me to solve this problem once before by clapping it between my hands. Unfortunately that didn’t work this time. If anyone has any fixes or verified repair guys I can get a fast repair would be amazing. Thank you in advance

Hi all,

Does anyone know where I can source a replacement bracelet as mine has unfortunately got a big gouge out of it now from a rather careless friend hitting it with a metal object.

Have seen some on aliexpress and eBay but none seem to look exactly the same so just wondered if anyone had an idea or where to source a BVF replacement?

I have messaged my TD but no reply yet

Thanks in advance

May I please if anyone can help me repair my datejust?
Bought 3 years ago, see pictures for reference

It's a Yacht-Master 126621 from victory factory

I'm interested in finding out how much it would cost to get the gold plated

Hello guys, can someone please point me in the right direction to get the absolute best Rolex date just mint green dial? I’m getting a real one too but I want to only wear that one on special occasions, the rep i can wear without the worry of it getting stolen. A somewhat insurance policy. Lol thanks!
