PhilR Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Count me in. I'm not really happy with my current BR-03 rep, the PVD coating is REALLY weak. It looks like black spray paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajoesmith Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Update 23rd Oct Spoke to the PVD company today and all the parts are coated except the crown. They told me that it was in the chamber and has been coated but it 'fell over' while being coated and so will have to be coated again They guarantee that itll be finished tomorrow and also shipped out tomorrow. Ill keep all updated on progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajoesmith Posted October 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Well ive just received the watch case and parts back from the PVD company BUT As you can see in the pictures the PVD has turned out to be a brown colour, I have no idea why as it should have been black A big disappointment but as we all know there are disappointments in this game. Anyone have any advice as to why it turned out brown? It was micro blasted beforehand and then PVDed by TiAlN process. Cheers Here are the pics, ive included the black rep PVD watch as a comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pman Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 It's a shame it didn't turn out the way you wanted. I know you put a bunch work into this project. Is does look very strange, almost like it's been painted. How does it feel? Is the texture smooth or rough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraphe Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Looks grey to me. Nice matte grey I know it's not exactly the black we were all expecting, but I don't mind the stealthy look if it's greyish like how I'm seeing it...
