Sogeha Posted January 5, 2017 Report Posted January 5, 2017 Bart that wrist picture is as good as it gets. With this watch you have made your Master Piece 1
Bart Cordell Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Posted January 5, 2017 @SogehaThank you mate !I hope to make a better one soon. Found a new gold support and a new template is in preparation
Sogeha Posted January 5, 2017 Report Posted January 5, 2017 Some years ago I had some small items gold plated by a working goldsmith. It was quite inexpensive and there are options of using a low carat gold or even an alloy of gold. Would it be an option to get a couple of dials plated like Tempus Machina do and see what they turn out like?
Bart Cordell Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Posted January 5, 2017 @SogehaA gold plating would be the best option. I need to find a jeweler who accept to make that for me.
Sogeha Posted January 5, 2017 Report Posted January 5, 2017 I've seen a few listings on eBay. This is the first one I found on a quick search: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gold-Plating-Service-/232179470488?hash=item360ef99098:g:oM4AAOSw2GlXGgnZ Might be worth a search and a couple of enquiries. 1
slay Posted January 5, 2017 Report Posted January 5, 2017 Before you buy a gold plating device, make sure to research the chemicals. The ones that you need to do a good plating are very toxic and can kill you upon contact if handled improperly (Cyanide!). I speak from experience @Bart Cordell apologies for the delay emailing you back, I was quite busy traveling etc. over the past few months, I'll share some of my results with you soon.
Bart Cordell Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Posted January 5, 2017 @slayDon't worry, I know we are all very busy.I saw your dial in your last 6538 sale thread. What do you think of the template ?Yes just read that gold plating is very toxic. I don't project to do it myself
Sogeha Posted January 5, 2017 Report Posted January 5, 2017 The listings I was looking at are for a gold plating service, which I think would be cheaper and safer for such a low volume.
Sogeha Posted January 31, 2017 Report Posted January 31, 2017 Very nice, are you going to have a go at doing the lighter lume at six?
Sogeha Posted January 31, 2017 Report Posted January 31, 2017 Looking forward to that then. Did you investigate the gold plating?
Bart Cordell Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Posted January 31, 2017 @SogehaNo didn't take time to create dials those weeks. Too much work and all my hobby time was taken to repair and service my DW 7750 movement.
Bart Cordell Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Posted February 3, 2017 [mention=73322]Sogeha[/mention]First gold plated dial 2
Bart Cordell Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Posted February 3, 2017 Now we are motoring! Big crown?wrong thread, I wanted to post in decals dial thread. But yes it's a new dial for my Tonny.Changing colors
Sogeha Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 Post that in both threads Bart, it's worth the coverage. Then see if you can get @hologramet to do a run of gold plated Tempus Machina dials :-) 1
Bart Cordell Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Posted February 3, 2017 Post that in both threads Bart, it's worth the coverage. Then see if you can get [mention=59902]hologramet[/mention] to do a run of gold plated Tempus Machina dials :-)There is the Red depth problem...
Sogeha Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 I didn't mean by the method you use. If he could arrange with HR to send plated dials and get back the current printing on a gold dial, it would be sweet. 1
hologramet Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 This is not impossible at all, actually I'll see what I can do for the 809H Tempus Machina dials.. The lume will be done by the Vietnamese, and included in the price using tinted Superluminova BGW9... 2
