Ingersol case replating


Recommended Posts

No doubt my post will be moved .
 
Any way many years ago i had a nickle plating kit, all bought over the internet.
I got pretty good with it, on rough and worn out cases, anything that was made of brass.
 
I was given a Ingersol Yankee pocket watch, not worth anything at all , even the dial was torn, i wish i had done some before pictures.
After i cleaned serviced the movement, polished out the worst of the marks, it was starting to look not too shaby.
I Copied another dial i had on my scanner, printed it out on sticky backed gloss paper ,i was impressed, dam good even if i say so my self.
 
This was all 10 + years ago & ive still got the pocket watch, picture attached , i hope , what has surprised me is i have never had to polish it, i
remember it being a bright nickel plating compound.
 
Has anyone else had any sucsess with there own home plating , i would love to know what you are all using & where to get it nowa days.
 
Does anyone else have any pictures of their pocket watch cases they have restored.
