fotoman Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 oxycleaned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subzero1 Posted November 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Put it in a pan w/ oxyclean detergent on low heat for 30 minutes, make it look darker and aged. I also did it on a 192 I had a while back. I recommend removing the movement and crystal before immersion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 That looks awesome!! Ti looks really good as it is, but darker and unevenly discolored would be even cooler IMO. Wear it well! Can oxyclean be used on stainless steel to darken it as well? I have a ss pam bracelet coming soon and I want it darker to match titanium.

subzero1 Posted November 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Thanks BTW, it only works on Ti, not SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Thanks BTW, it only works on Ti, not SS. Damn I guess that's why they call it stainless steel Does anyone know if there's a way to darken SS besides PVD? Don't want it that dark.

Usil Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Would Gun-Blue work? Heat the metal and immerse? Usil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want it that dark. Yes, I found a kit that promised to turn SS to dark grey. Too bad I have its address on a computer that is currently undergoing major fixing. I should be able to retrieve it in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
