prdubis Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I know Taka used to offer DLC processing but I don't know if he is still in the run.I guess it will be difficult to DLC the bracelet as parts need to be free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillycheez Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) I imagine he should be a member here. I know Kroexist is on rwi. His DLC work is superb and has done gens including a GMTc.

HauteHippie Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) You don't need to use a forum member to do DLC. As long as you can disassemble the watch, there are plenty of coating companies out there that will do both the bead blasting and the coating. I recently had a pair of eyeglasses done, and the place I used did a fantastic job. He was telling me he does a lot of watches, too. I went with a pencil lead color PVD, but DLC was also an option. BTW, the watch in your picture doesn't look bead blasted. Edited April 3, 2013 by chieftang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valty Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Phong is also doing DLC coating, but my personal opinion is to don't do that on a gen / high-value rep. The DLC is too much fragile, and is a mess to be 100% removed from the case once your realize if will not last many years in good conditions... DLC's great for exposition, but not good for daily wearing My .2$ ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prdubis Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Thanks all for your help!Anyone knows if it is necessary to dismantle the bracelet? Is it possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 For info, I've just received a mail from Taka. He still offers DLC coating service at a good price. Bracelet coating is €80 including dissassembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imajedi Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Thanks mate, I know Taka/2Geeks for years, but Taka disappeared one year and a half ago, and I was just asking if someone used his DLC service recently... Man I hope he's still operting through 2Geeks because I went to their website and got an order number and shipped my parts there about a week ago. It would suck if my parts vanish. Procto* on RG recently used them to bead blast and DLC coat the case of his ProHunter. I was looking to do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valty Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Valty I was of the understanding that DLC was very durable? From what I've seen it is durable, in the short term. When I bought / make a Rolex, it's at least for 20 years, and the DLC will not survive that long from what I've read But maybe somebody here can confirm or infirm ?
