    Could someone educate me on this:

    Are all IWC white gold cases rhodium plated? If so, how could one polish the case (DYI or by IWC)? Does that mean whenever a major polish is needed the case has to be "re-rhodiumed"? If someone knows the range of cost of replating the case please share (or through email if more appropriate).

    Thanks much,
    B
