Re: Rhodium plated?Where?
In Response To: Re: Rhodium plated?Where? ()

: You've got it all wrong! The rhodium plating is
: not on the outside of the watch. It only on
: some of the metal parts of the mechanism
: inside the watch.

: The outside of the watch is steel. No plating.
: The only part that isn't is the blue insert
: on the bezel with the numbers painted on it.
: On the Bond model, that is aluminum with
: anodized blue paint.
Thanks derek.
I thought it was the shinny parts.So has anyone sent their watch to have it brought back to pristine order professionally?
Does the sanding bar take the scuffs out from the shinny parts as well?
Thanks
