How to Buy Gold Plated Watches for Gold Recovery

In this video I decided to show you different gold plated watches and explain why I bought them. There are good and bad examples of gold plating, different marks and macro images to see better defects of the gold plating. I also share my expectations on gold content from each watch. Enjoy!

Are you going to do a gold recovery and refining video on these watches ?

[@escrapchannel]

Hi, for sure! When I am back to my lab I will process all material I stockpile.

[@platinumskies7968]

@@escrapchannel ok cool can you do an estimation before you refine to see how accurate your prediction was ?

[@escrapchannel]

Between 1.5 and 2.0g of gold 😃

Страхотно видео! Тъкмо си мислех, че ако часовника е ценен, здрав или може да се ремонтира не си струва да се унищожава, а е по-добре да се възстанови но ти го каза накрая👍 Имам само един въпрос - Как определяш цената на която да го купиш? В смисъл ако примерно от часовника можеш да извадиш 0,15 гр. злато каква е цената,която е изгодна да го купиш? На процент от златото, което ще извадиш ли е или има и други критерии, ако не е тайна, защото съм срещал златни рамки и дръжки от очила, но не мога да преценя струва ли си? Благодаря предварително😀

Здравей, за дамските не си струва да се дават повече от 2-3 лв. Подобно и за очилата. При мъжките съм си сложил граница от 10 лв на брой, но за големи рамки с дебела позлата нарушавам правилото и съм давал и 20 лв. Имам познати, които купуват дамските по 10 лв и мъжките по 20 лв и реално работят без печалба, но си пазят златото като инвестиция. Според мен, за да има някакъв смисъл, не може да се плаща за часовник повече от 1/3 от стойността на златото в него.

[@escrapchannel]

Hi, This is a second hand Voltcraft from eBay. Was 50 Euro + shipment. Parameters are 5A and 30V = 150W max power. This one is really reliable.

hello can i ask you to tell me how to get gold out of watch boxes??

[@escrapchannel]

Hi! The easiest way is to put watch cases in nitric acid and to dissolve base metal. Gold foil remains intact. Other option is gold reverse electroplating in concentrated sulphuric acid. But this method is more complicated.

How much Gold in 1 kg Gold plated watch cases

[@escrapchannel]

Hi, it is per piece. You cannot calculate it per kg as every case is different.

Hi, 👍👍👍

Hello Friend 23liek 👍👍👍🎃

[@escrapchannel]

Thank you! 👍

[@akgoldbear7669]

10:39 5% gold?! This is not true. It all depends on the purity of the gold. From 20 grams of 10K gold-filled you will get 8.2 grams of pure gold, from 20 grams of 20K gold-filled you will get 16.6 grams of pure gold 😉😀✌

[@escrapchannel]

Hi, as next video is in almost 2 months progress about these watches and I already have the gold foils measured - in this case is from a batch of 150 grams mixed cases - mostly gold plated and only one gold filled I got 4g of gold foils for refining. The gold filled foil is almost a gram. Your calculations are correct. This case was 20k so let’s say almost a gram 😃
