Samurai Posted December 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 This is the PVD version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 That is a nice version of the watch. Maybe just me but the dark background doesnt show off its true appearance enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shultz Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Noticed it this morning, too. Looks like DLC but actually most of Josh's pics of dvd coated watches do look a bit different.... Would like to see somebody pull the trigger and write a review whith nice pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 i'd still find out if it was DLC or not...the "baby" BS is DLC and tougher than nails...i wouldn't want to take a step backwards with this one being "normal" PVD, ya know?!...but from the pix, it does kinda look like normal "pvd", IMO...

Guest avitt Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 It's hard to believe that he took these pics without cleaning the watch up first...That coating looks wretched with all those finger oil blotches on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going through his online store you will notice numbers of these strange pics. In my opinion most of his pvd/ dlc watches look greyish and like touched with fish and chips fingers But: I wasn't disapointed by orders with Josh so far. It is just the bad pic quality...

RealReplica Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 I really want this watch but as said before I'm going to wait for a better coating, if this is anywhere close to the skyland V1 is a nightmare and from what I've heard they come from the same factory as the skyland V1 so the coating is probably the same.

lanikai Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 The SA BS project was abandoned by the original maker right about the time the economy went South.. ergo the delay in the release.. members did send in pics of a genuine for what was to be a replica made form pics.. the project was abandoned and the Noob factory picked up this project but used a genuine SA BS instead of the donated pics by a member .. therefore the huge delay in production.. it was due out shortly after the Skyland BS..so with the first project abandoned .. we have to wait and see how good this is stacked up to the Skyland BS. the pics are over saturated so.. we just gotta wait for the rep to arrive..

lanikai Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 The genuine SA BS is supposedly a very different colour from the Skyland BS, I'm told.. I'll take a trip to the AD before I attempt the reivew ..It could be the reason they did not rep it the same colour type as the Skyland. We'll see.

trailboss Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I hope I'm wrong but that looks like PVD to me. The gen is a nitride finish which can be replicated in DLC but not by PVD which comes out too thick and is obviously a coating rather than a metal treatment like nitriding. Either way, I think I'll wait for the price to drop. At least one non cartell dealer has this allready and the price is sure to drop as more get hold of it. Looks like your version got canned Dave, pity, it may have well been DLC instead. Col. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Titanium Carbon Nitrate .. true ,..my point being that we will have to await the rep and view the genuine before judgment can be passed ..if it is an altogether a flop.. then that's all part of the hobby As in the past jumping to conclusions is a pure waste of time and energy .. others can review theirs on other fora's or this one..mine will be an objective view and not one of hype to sell the rep for any dealer. We all have our dealers of choice .. for whatever reason.. I for one don't look for bargain prices .. long got over that issue.. it's service and parts supply that is big in my choice. Not meaning to go way off topic here.. but the lowest price doesn't always end up being the best deal.. if I were dealing with genuine watches sure.. but too many times when I first started collecting reps.. my watch would die after a week or so and that was that.. no recourse.. and in the long run I ended up loosing more money in the end.. than paying a little more in the beginning.. needless to say the parts that may be needed much later.. just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Titanium Carbon Nitrate .. just my .02 Nitride. (TiCN) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
