    electroplating needed

    Hi, I recently had an old Seiko watch gold electroplated by a uk company which I shall not name. The watch is only 33cm x24cm. The company stripped the watch themselves and plated it. I dont know how many microns but when asked the company said at least 5; I assume that meant exactly5. Anyway the watch was returned to me in Spain about 2 weeks after receipt by them. The colour of the gold is a very light yellow compared to the original gold colour. It does not have a richness or depth.
    I now want to have a 20 year old Raymond Weil watch plated; it`s dimensions are the same as the seiko.Some gold plating has gone showing the stainless steel base and other parts of gold have stained a very dark yellow.
    I paid £65.00 to have the Seiko plated and would be happy to pay a bit more but simply have no idea to whom I should send the watch. I would very much welcome recommendations please. thanks
