TeeJay Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 From what I understand, DLC is PVD's harder and more durable big brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 I'd like to see the serial number for that piece...There's a good chance that I coated it!

rosnik Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Thank you AviTT. I sow you reference DLC/PVd tread too: To get DLC/PVD on a bracelet like the oyster, do you have to totally dismount it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 To get DLC/PVD on a bracelet like the oyster, do you have to totally dismount it? When I coat bracelets, I just disassemble them into the major parts (clasp, clasp cover, end links, etc). I don't actually take all of the links apart, because this would make the process prohibitively expensive. DLC does a great job of covering the visible areas in between the links.

rosnik Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Thank you for your exaustive replay Avitt. Do you got one works list and price list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 i've always been curious as to what the process looks like.. I imagine Avitt with this huge, noisy, vaporizer, pvd applicator contraption in his basement or gaarage.. and besides coating watches he's up all night coating everything metal in his home... Seriously... is that what it's like!?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 You've got it, Plaifender! This is my garage: ...LOL! No, actually i just do the case work and bead blasting in my garage. For the DLC or PVD coating, I am buying surplus chamber space from a commercial coating center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosnik Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Avitt, is it real that PVD coating is reversible to origin. DLC is not reversible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 DLC does create a permanent bond to the substrate metal (stainless, titanium, etc). I can strip it off, using special blasting media...But this leaves the piece with a matte finish. I have not yet tried chemical stripping of DLC, but plan to soon.

P4GTR Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Avitt! Who says you can borrow pictures of my Nissan engine!? Took a little work shoehorning it under the hood of my Sentra, but VRMM VRMM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
