DIY Electroplating?


slay

Recommended Posts

I'm looking into re-plating a few old chronographs of mine, most of them have have lost their original plating on many spots. Some where Nickel plated, but others Gold plated. Has anyone here ever done Brass/Nickel/Gold or Silver plating? 

I'm prepared to invest in a proper electroplating rectifier (I have at least 15 watches that I'd like to re-plate). However, a lot of solutions I found are cyanide based (gold+silver) and highly toxic if handled improperly, so I am obviously wary about this. I know there are also solutions without cyanide (or with very little Cyanide, like those sold at OFrei), but before I pursue this any further, I'd like to hear hear your thoughts!
