Icon11 My 18k accents on my Waterman BP...

are beginning to fade. Any ideas on who does re-conditioning, totally disassembly of the parts and re-plating?

Thanks,
Randy

Randy, you might want to PM Kai (2careless) as he just had his Mont Blanc platinum plated!

No, unfortunately. But this being gold-plating, replating may not last very long anyway. Unless it's particularly thick.

Randy, Just a thought, wouldn't it be cheaper in the long run to buy a new pen then getting your current one replated???

This particular Waterman is no longer in production...

That said, I might as well keep it original.
