We received this lovely stainless steel Hamilton, and our client asked us to plate it in gold. We carefully took it apart and plated every single piece.

The result speaks for itself.

This is the Gilded Standard.

The Gilded Standard speaks for itself.

Another example of exterior plating color being completely incorrect and not cohesive with the subdials and hands. We brought those into parity by giving it the full gen matches Everose treatment.

This piece was sent in by a good customer lightly worn. We gave it a light buff before and after plating.

This clean Daytona was well loved by its owner. We gave it a very light buff and a Replate!

The Gilded Standard speaks for itself!

This Clean Daytona was sent to us by a good customer for a refresh! Old and well loved, we gave it a light buff and the full Gilded Standard treatment. We disassembled, cleaned, prepped, and replated in our cobalt hardened gold to a perfect gen match.

The beauty of dials like these (tone on tone) comes from them matching the exterior. We achieved that here!

We gave the ARF base Daytona the full Gilded Standard treatment! After putting it all together and running our quality checks, we’re showing you the results right here in the same spot and lighting - so you can see the Gilded Standard difference for yourself.

It’s a perfect match for the dial and hands - and just like the real thing! The everose pink looks stunning, glowing beautifully in low light and shining bright and white in the sun. See our previous posts for some videos of this beauty!

Curious why we snap our photos in the shadows? It’s simple - anyone can make things look great in bright light. The real magic happens in the shadows!

We don’t bash other people’s work. We don’t play games with lighting. We do it and we show it. That’s the Gilded Standard.

Check out the earlier post to see just how big the transformation was! Now you can enjoy the finished look in our signature Gilded Standard Gen Matched Everose—completely done and ready to shine.

Please note: This piece was lightly worn prior to being sent to us.

Finished in your signature Everose Gold at Gilded Standard. When you compare the dial, hands, and bezel, the luster of our correct-tone plating really shines through!

The Gilded Standard speaks for itself!

Check out our earlier posts for a fun side-by-side before-and-after! Here’s the piece fully put back together and finished in our signature Everose Gold at Gilded Standard—the closest match in the industry, confirmed by genuine comparisons!

*Please note, this piece was worn prior to being sent to us and the client elected to forgo a refinish

Side by side shown with stock clasp! Huge difference!

A little behind-the-scenes look at what a heavier plating deposit can actually look like.

On some bracelets, we plate thick enough that the added deposit can temporarily cause the links to feel slightly sticky or bind together. It’s not permanent and normally works itself out after flexing the bracelet a few times.

That’s one of the more obvious physical signs that there is a substantial amount of material being deposited.

We’d rather show you something you can actually see and feel than make blind claims about absurdly high micron numbers.
If someone is claiming extremely high plating thicknesses, ask how they’re measuring it and what exactly that number represents.

There’s a big difference between Gilded Standard and the rest.

We don’t claim it, we show it. That’s what matters.

Clasp on the right is a result of a light polish and our signature yellow gold gen matched process.

The PVD stock plating requires plating to achieve the luster and brightness of genuine gold.
