Guest avitt Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I know that some members were looking into PVD coating companies who are willing to work on watches...Does anyone have any new information? The prices at IWW have shot up to an astronomical $595 minimum. Does anyone know anything about the Teflon Polymer coating service offered by bobthayerjr.com? It looks like it might be a little too soft, and a little too shiny... Thanks for any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple search would magically reveal there are a couple members offering PVD service; RBJ, Palp, and i think finepics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I had found a place, but have lost the time to pursue it further. kruzer00 and swdavid were also doing some legwork. I don't know where they are, but kruzer00 is motivated.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Actually have put it aside until I deal with the crowns. But I will continue research thereafter. Very frustrating as Finepics had the perfect person but they will no longer do it for watches. I think the next step is to find out the exact coating and bead blasting process from Finepics and then go find someone new. And in the meantime I am staring at the actual PVD crowns so I know how to match them up. In the interim, my 28 which I was dumb enough to drop on the street languishes. Aargh, so close to finishing the fearsome foursome and yet so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
