Anyone here have real world feedback and maybe pics of how the plating is holding up?

Thanks in advance.

dont have any personal experience- but by how the forums are....if there were any problems with the capped gold, i think it would be hard to miss.

placing my bets on all being well!

It's thicker than just plating, I think you can even lightly polish it once or twice.

It's not gold electro-plating and yes it's holding up really good. In fact, mine is over 2 years old and I just had the bracelet refinished. No sign of losing any gold at all.

Here's a photo I took when it was new showing the thickness of the gold. And the other one showing how it looks now after having the bracelet refinished.

Nice! Thank you for the replies.

i just wish this Tudor was a little bit slimmer.

On the black bay the end links are solid gold the rest of the watch bracelet .bezel and crown is a thin slice of gold bonded onto the stainless steel. which can be polished as said above. It is not plated

I think they call it gold filled ! Thicker than plating but not solid either. I have a very old police badge stamped GF and the thickness of the gold looks like like the Tudor.

Worn mine for almost two years and it’s still in great shape.

How much is this priced over and above a stainless BB?

1William · 20 September 2019, 08:58 PM

I have owned several and had no issues. My AD took one on trade and it was rough but it was restored to like new condition. I like them.

Nice pics, shows the gold wrapping which is more substantive than plating. Doubt this will come off without some real damage, a great value package.

SearChart · 20 September 2019, 09:38 PM

I like the fact that the gold is brushed as well. Nice looking bracelet.

Andad · 20 September 2019, 09:43 PM

Nice pix Richard.

Of the watch and the construction.

Chewbacca · 20 September 2019, 10:39 PM

Would love to see a pic of the ones worn for several years.

Given the watch has only been available for a bit over two years that's not possible I I'm afraid.

I was one of the first in Hong Kong to have the S&G on the wrist, I ordered it through my AD on the day it was announced.
