VEJA A ADEQUAÇÃO

On this page are examples of features which may be unsuitable for refinishing (scratch removal) and/or plating.
These Patterns cannot be reproduced or restored during refinishing. In other words, scratches or other damage to these patterns cannot be removed.
Such areas can be cleaned, lightly polished, and plated during restoration.
Embossed Pattern
Bulova Accutron 214 14k TV watch with Florentine pattern The Time Preserve
Florentined Pattern
Two-Toned patterns cannot be reproduced during plating unless the parts can be physically separated such as a bezel, crown, or other removeable feature.
Such finishes can be changed to monotone or one-color. ie: all gold or all silver.
All links in a metal band must be the same color.

Additionally, the following base materials cannot be plated because the chemicals used will erode them: Zinc, Aluminum, Titanium, Pot Metal, and Plastic, Such materials may have a factory gold coating using PVD, but this process is only used in mass production,  In preparation for plating the old finish is removed.  If we find one of these unsuitable materials is the base material we will not be able to complete the plating process and must return the case unplated. Fortunately those materials are used in inexpensive watches only.
If the gold bezel on this watch is removeable, it could be plated gold. The band, however, could not be plated two colors.
Linear or radial brushed finishes can generally be restored if nearby features allow.

The brushed area near the shiny bezel cannot be reached for removal of scratches re-brushing unless the ring can actually be removed.

Chronographs and Watches with complicated features are subject to extra labor and may depend on the possibility of disassembly
Note: The screws on used watch bands may suffer some damage during the disassembly process if they are too tight due to corrosion.  Every attempt will be made to minimize screw head damage on used watch bands. New watch bands do not carry this risk. Shipping insurance is only available through US Priority Mail shipping or UPS shipping and will only be applied if explicitly requested in the note sent with the watch or notes typed in the online order form including the insurance amount. Insurance fees must be paid by the owner prior to shipping..Fedex and UPS shipping are also available on request.. Plating warranty and liability are limited to transaction costs.  Warranty service is only performed through watchplating.com and will not be reimbursed if serviced elsewhere. Warranty returns must be received promptly and should be re-shipped to us within 5 business days for proper remediation.

Crystals are sometimes subject to damage when removed.  Every effort will be made to minimize this damage up to an including crystal replacement or polishing.  Leather bands may receive superficial marks when removed or re-installed where lug spacing does not provide sufficient clearance for tools.

Not responsible for loose dial graphics which may flake off during dust removal, reassembly, or shipping.. Only gentle puffs of air are are used to remove dust.. No brushes or cloths are used for dust removal. Note: replicas in particular may have poorer quality of graphics and adhesion.
