    Question need good electroplating

    Hi, I have just purchased off ebay a 1986 gucci 4200 watch. The plating has almost gone so I need to find someone in the uk who will make a good job of electroplating without charging a fortune. Can anyone please make any recommendations. thanks.

    Hi cirrus, thanks for the link. I have visited their site and they want every single thing removed leaving only the watch case.
    My experience is very limited so I have no intention of stripping my watch down. Perhaps others do this for the client. Can you recommend any others please; doesnt have to be uk only.thanks

    Ahright, the bloke I usually send my watches to for repair and services uses them, so he just sends them the case and stores the guts until it comes back;

    The only person I can think who might be able to do the plating AND disassembly is;

    though I haven't any personal experience of his work. He seems pretty damn competent though :)
