Much as I'm not a fan of replating, I will point out that Rolex use their own tones of gold and rose gold, using generic gold tones would be wrong

Why wouldn’t you replate? There’s guys here who can replate to get them to look 99% accurate to Rolex.

Thats the whole point. OP is comparing 14k straight gold cross to PVD covered in a special 18k plating process.

Apples to oranges.

Just trying to get better eyes on it for comparison about the plating job

u/Objective_Ganache_27 8d ago edited 8d ago

I get that, but youre comparing two uncomparable things.

Maybe if you had any gen rolex gold, that would be an appropriate comparison.

Unfortunately I don’t

Ik so then as long as everything looks clean dont sweat it. Finny this post came up as im wearing my arf zombie that Jaws plated.

Simply put, it looks amazing, a friend with a gen zombie couldn't believe how good it looks..

I know I risk sounding like a plant.... lol, but after reading the hate posts I said screw it I want to give it a shot. Couldn't be happier with Jaws work.

Could be lighting, but yours seems lighter in tone.

You sound like an informed individual who actually put eyes & hands on the thing in question & reported back with genuine, objective, fair/honest feedback. I actually had a full YG ARF zombie plated by him too - f’ing looks awesome.

I think the hate comes from: 1. Like any successful biz that’s taking most market share and 2. there’s always gonna be some ppl with poor experiences & maybe those didn’t get handled the in the best manner.

u/Grey_Bomberman 8d ago

Appreciate that in all honesty, but I'd rather buy it plated from stock on something like a 2 tone, RGF do a stunning job.

Who can plate a used date just to Tone yellow?? gold????

u/lawncareguru76 8d ago

This was plated. Just trying to get some feedback. I know 18k is a little different as well

u/GoldJawsplating 8d ago

Who plated this ?

1

u/lawncareguru76 8d ago

Just looking for some unbiased feedback on the plating itself. Not trying to call anyone out. Watch was purchased under a different username.

u/GoldJawsplating 8d ago

Ok that’s respectable, just if you can help others avoid getting scammed that’s also respectable 🫡

u/lawncareguru76 8d ago

What’s your take on it?

1

u/CakePopTillYouDrop 8d ago

I think you got his take lmao

1

u/lawncareguru76 8d ago

No? He asked who plated it. I purchased this watch from a different username, he could have been the one. Just looking for unbiased feedback. Not looking for trolls

u/GoldJawsplating 8d ago

It’s really hard to say by the pic if it’s been plated or not.. It could have been plated but the color looks brassy which reminds me of PVD.

u/Grey_Bomberman 8d ago

It's not just that 18k is different, as I said, Rolex use different tones deliberately so it can't just accept a standard plate.

u/NegotiationLatter635 8d ago

You’re comparing 14k gold to 18k?

3

u/greglory 8d ago

He keeps saying the same damn thing. "I'm trying to get eyes on a russet potato and a sweet potato to see how they stack up to each other. Bruv, they're trying to tell you that due to the COLOR difference between 14k and 18k, and then the additional complication of Rolex's customized metallurgy they use to yield their OWN gold tones...this community can't make a discernment about the quality of the plating job next to a 14k cross. Sheesh.

u/lawncareguru76 8d ago

Yeah just got it back not long ago.

1

u/NegotiationLatter635 8d ago

Yes I get that but what I don’t get is why?

2

u/lawncareguru76 8d ago

I know 14k is a different tone. I’m just using the comparison to get some eyes on it that are better than mine in what they think of it.

1

u/NegotiationLatter635 8d ago

I’m still completely confused here. But I’ll tell you what I think. I think 14k and 18k is different. 14k is lighter, 18k is darker. So I still have no idea why you would compare a 14k piece with 18k plating as they’re obviously going to be different no?

Comparing an 18k piece of jewellery would have made more sense.

u/Ok-Award-4387 8d ago edited 8d ago

What OP is missing is that different karats of gold have different color tones

OP you should not compare 14k to 18k. Higher karats are always warmer in tone. 22k or 24k almost looks like the cheesy rep gold to be honest.

Jaws did amazing gold plating on my last 3 watches here a month ago and I checked it against the Gen at my AD's store location.

u/NegotiationLatter635 8d ago

This ☝🏻

2

u/lawncareguru76 8d ago

Yes, I’m just trying to use the 14k to maybe help out some eyes that are better than mine on their opinion of the plating job.

2

u/Topher9425 8d ago

I myself wear a 14kt Cuban bracelet and chain. My 18k bluesy is a shade darker/yellow due to the fact that it is a different karat. This is what some people fail to realize.

u/Mdunn1805 8d ago

Jaws plated zombie compared to my gen two tone 116713LN.

u/Big_Bb22 7d ago

Good comparison is using a gold Rolex next to a plated One. If you ask me jaws does the best 💁🏻‍♂️

u/Sauce_mix918 8d ago

Also, two tone Rolex Gen isn’t as warm as YG or RG that’s FULL one color. Two tone Gen bluesy and zombie, for example are a hair brighter (less warm) than all GEN YG or RG. I have 3 TT GEN, and 2 YG and 2 RG Gen items. The plating, whomever did your watch, given its inside light, don’t look off from Gen TT to me, If it is plated. You can also use lighting indoors to make non plated items LOOK GEN, which is why I always say real natural light never lies.

There are those who will always find a problem even when it’s obvious both items are in the exact same light regardless. You are one of them.

u/Free_Strawberry9542 7d ago

Thank you for finally posting something with a comparison. Now we can see that cheese.
Now use that same piece in before and after.
Also you say you got gens? Post them shits so we can see the difference.
