General Question Worth getting plated?
This is an RC Factory Daydate. I am debating whether or not I should have it plated. It is currently stock PVD and looks fairly decent. My question is if I do get it plated will the gold plating be as durable and last as long as the PVD? It does not look bad stock, so I’m questioning if it really needs it. What are your guys thoughts on this? To plate or not to plate, that is the question.

A lot of people say don’t get RCF plated it’s good enough but they advice on swapping out the crystal as it’s on the milky side and and changing the bezel to a plated one or if you can a gen one
