rbj69 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 i was wondering how a PO 45 mm would look if it was pvd ? i was thinking since it is not that cost effective of doing me one like that but i would like to see someone do it up on paint or something first , thanks in advance also maybe a gold pvd would be cool , any thoughts ? joe
fitmic Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 Don't we have any graphic designers that at least can give us a hint what it would look like?
Pugwash Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 Don't we have any graphic designers that at least can give us a hint what it would look like? I would have done it if I'd have saved my photoshop working files from my recent 45mm shoot. Otherwise it's a considerable amount of effort to do.
bigpops Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 I think the Orange one would look quite good. I'm not sure about the black.
By-Tor Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 You mean something like this? Don't be too hard on me... Very quick and sloppy work... I did this in less than 5 minutes. PS: Why this thread is in general discussion... instead of the Omega section?

longshot Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 that looks extremely cool with the $120 asian p.o. available that could be a reasonably priced and fun project!
fotoman Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 THAT LOOKS F-IN slick as hell I'd be down for one of those
rbj69 Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Posted January 21, 2007 OH YES BT-THOR NOW CAN U DO IT WITH ORANGE NUMBERS AND BEZEL PRETTY PLEASE , ok i just realized my caps lock button was on, im really digging this in pvd , it is very cool, i think im sending my baby out for the pvd love , do u think i sould bead blast it like the panerais as well ? keep suggestins coming please , this is cool , i knew u guys(by-thor) were talented on the puter , lol thanks joe
By-Tor Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 OH YES BT-THOR NOW CAN U DO IT WITH ORANGE NUMBERS AND BEZEL PRETTY PLEASE Sure.
Usil Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 WOW! That is very cool. I have been bouncing around thinking about the 'ultimate' and this would be. Let us know if anyone makes one. For those who have done this, what would be the steps to do this? Usil The Black is the best by far. Pure Stealth. Usil
By-Tor Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 Okay, how about full a gold PO? Don't tell me this isn't ugly as hell. I kinda feel bad bastardizing this pic... after all it was a nice shot.
longshot Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 i generally do not like gold watches, but... in that exact shade of matte gold the p.o. looks freakin awesome. an ultimate in gold on a black rubber strap with a gold buckle would be (dare i say) damn cool i wonder if you can get ti carbon nitrite(??) coating done in small lots? there is a guy in the napa valley that does re-plating and restoration on gp watches and does incredible work. he did a friends seiko 6138 chrono a couple years ago that was stunning. wonder if he would be offended by working on a rep, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm???
KB Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 By-Tor can you take the shine out of those bands as at the moment it really looks more like ceramic than PVD to me. Ken
rbj69 Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Posted January 21, 2007 yeah Kenberg that is why i said beadblasted maybe, , i am loving it alot , it definitely is a eyecatcher , the gold doesnt do it for me however joe
By-Tor Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 By-Tor can you take the shine out of those bands as at the moment it really looks more like ceramic than PVD to me. Ken Is this better?
rbj69 Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Posted January 21, 2007 yes it is better do u guys think it would look cool leaving the rehaut shiney or even better do it in pvd as well, i am pretty sure i would leave the caseback silver, any suggestions ? joe
Category 5 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 Very cool work By-Tor! Care to share how you did it?
flavor flav Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 the black looks really cool! what program did you use to do this? i love it! thanks by-tor.
Chronus Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 Really liking the By-Tor PVD black bezel Now in ceramic, that would really make it
By-Tor Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 Very cool work By-Tor! Care to share how you did it? Sure. It's no rocket science. 1. Load Photoshop 2. Surround the area you want to change with a lasso tool. 3. Reduce contrast dramatically 4. Reduce brightness dramatically That's it.
rbj69 Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Posted January 24, 2007 u r the king of photo shop that is why i requested u , i remember over a year ago u were doing this and we were having some fun with it , lol now i just have to bring myself to send it in for pvd treatment, ouch i emailed river to see if i could get another one just like it with no reply so far joe
Snow Dog Posted March 14, 2007 Report Posted March 14, 2007 This is an old thread, I know, but I was searching for info on PVD services and saw this. I thought you all might be interested to see this... SMP PVD. Beautiful, IMO.
