Good question.

I don't have an answer but I'm curious and I have a friendly question.

What are models are you looking to have PVD coated if I could ask?

Thanks,

Carl

!!!UPDATE!!!

My first attempt at finding someone to do the PVD work has come to a screeching halt!!!

I need to make a SIMILAR copy of this: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=67371

However, the customer wants a B&R/Invicta look to it... Meaning, he wants the Bezel numbers AND Dial numbers to be orange or red...

I just need the PVD coating done and i can get the rest done elsewhere...

Apparently, the PAM196 is very complicated for some poeple who do PVD coating because of the pushers...

I guess they seem to be more hassle than its worth for some people... not being able to have them held sufficiently throughout the process...

ajoesmith: Do you have issues with chronograph models?!?!

NOTE: i have already disassembled the entire thing...
