I understand that the plating on the kits can be different..gold... titanium...and so on.... but has anyone actually seen a simple gold pen plating wear down? How much time does it take to show wear? What I'm getting at it is a pen owner who uses the pen in their daily business....how long will it last? I understand that the better plating will last forever...but how long will the simple gold plating last? 6 weeks....6 months...6 years...60 years???
I bought a pen kit from Woodcraft today. The gold was $8.99..the Titanium was $18.99. Every pen Ive made I either gave away or sold so I really dont know how long the plating stays in good shape.

p.s. before someone tells me to not be so cheap :....I don't have a problem paying for a quality kit I just am trying to get some facts.
