If you read the threads about the platings carefully, and there were many in the last two years, you will learn the following:
the best platings, i.e. longest lasting are
Titanium Gold
Chrome
Platinum and Rhodium
From personal experience I can say that after heavily use for two to three years there is no wear on the Titaniumgold pens I use daily.
As I said, I have also good experience with satin Nickel.
The not so good platings, i.e. the ones that wear off very fast are the gold platings, both "upgrade" from Berea and 10K from CSUSA, these are the ones I have personal experience with - others may have a different experience. Some say that PSI gold platings last longer, but I don't use their kits.
