Case restoration gold plated case.


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I have a Nivana gold plated case, OK so it was once a nice gold plated, but over the years sweat and acid has eaten into the case. 

Does anyone know where I might get it re done and brought back to life, I know its not really worth it, but I would like it done if possible, as it was given to me by a friend.

This place does them in Chesterfield.

Thanks for this. I'm from Chesterfield originally, and that is about three miles from my parents' house. The one case I have had replated (5 microns yellow gold) so far was at Replate-It in Montreal. https://www.replateit.com

They did a good job, but shipping was a quarter of the cost and it was a pain with the German Customs & Excise when it was re-imported.

Replate-It is great but it depends from where you ship. For me, it's a perfect place as it's 2h from here by car. I'm sure there are similar ones in europe.

    • Oh well, if Master @nickelsilver says it's the way to go, then it is the way to go! I stand corrected! 🫡 Are there any other places where you're supposed to remove the epilame from the contact point of rubbing? I don't think so! Thanks for the effort @Neverenoughwatches, much appreciated! 🙂👍

    • Hello, Thanks for the reply. The old jewel will get pushed out from the "outside" which is the dial side. The new jewel will get pressed in from the inside (shown below) which is the movement side, correct?     And the old jewel and spring will get pushed from the is the "outside" which is the dial side. Thank you very much for the information. I will take out the KIF spring and save it. Will update when the new jewel is in place!   Regards, Joe
