I wouldn't hesitate to go with a Ti case, AVB! I've DLC coated a couple of them now, and have found the look to be identical to a coated steel case...I think it's all about the preparation. Here's one that I coated for Mickey Padge: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regard to fit, it'd be like any case...It'll either fit or not. And if it doesn't fit, it can probably be made to fit. With regard to the look...no probs! If the parts are blasted and coated using the same process, then they will have the same look (color and sheen). and how would the balance be? lol would it be heavy-sided if i do this? lol Hmmm... If you accidentally drop it overboard, it will probably sink to the bottom crown-side-first I can't think of any other ramifications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L you could of handled this sales pitch of yours with a little more finesse .. or am I imagining things ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 you could of handled this sales pitch of yours with a little more finesse .. or am I imagining things ?? You're imagining things.... But with regard to ethics, I don't think it's any worse than posting another member's service right in the middle of my DLC reference thread... ...Particularly two days after endorsing my DLC service: Best way to go is get avitt to DLC your caseset..

lanikai Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 As you can see by my go to Avitt for DLC.. it's nothing personal what I say on this thread avitt, did I say to go to someone else for PVD ?? NO.. I have always referred members to you for DLC and PVD.. I cannot remember telling members to shop elsewhere??..do you pay any fees for your service like everyone else does ?? you do make a profit no ?? how is that right for everyone else providing services for "profit" here...be it watches or anything else.. after all that's what your doing ??? it is for profit that you this.. right ?? or am I imagining this is a side business for you.. imagining a lot huh ?? .. have you ever offered from your side to get on board with the others that are providing services, they make a profit and pay a dealers fee.. do you ?? .. if you are doing this for the board and members .. it seems to me that you would offer this from your end.. I cannot "imagine" why you wouldn't.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC/L lol lani.. i dont really mind whichever service i use either.. either way just like urs my project will go to zigmeister.. and i havnt decide what kind of pvd ill use anyway.. i do like the idea of dlc since its harder.. and i guess that means going with avitt.. but now im focusing more about the case .. i mean if theres no case theres no service is there? but yeah i guess if the bead blast is too harsh im sure theres a way to reblast it..

I chose the PVD based on the colour and texture of the genuine, specifically for the Pre V.. the case can be re-polished first off.. any jeweler can do it.. or you can get a buffer from Home depot for a very low price.. but my case does not have a bead blasted look per-say..whatever it is,.... it really looks like the gen. and that is what the experts here say..

I expecting to order 1 caseset PVD from DSN but maybe its an others choice to send to Lanikai and any idea how much he ask to DLC service for a PRE-V case ?

I expecting to order 1 caseset PVD from DSN but maybe its an others choice to send to Lanikai and any idea how much he ask to DLC service for a PRE-V case ? the PVD I have costumed on my 202A, is freakishly the same colour and properties of the genuine PVD'd 202A .. you would have to check with Ziggy on the price as I don't like to speak for anyone providing services .. this is Ziggy's PVD service that provided the finished product..so you would have to ask directly.
