This is just on to normal stainless, but for greater resistance to scratches under load it is always a good idea to nitride harden parts first.

ubiquitous Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'm assuming you can do the gold 18k-look PVD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoooooonz Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 (edited) I'd love to, but the logistics of it concern me. I would really need to work with one of the sellers. I can offer bead blasting, nitriding and then PVD coating for a very tough finish. Problem is I would need to work in reasonable volumes to keep the price under control. I did want to purchase a job lot of panny cases that I could treat to demonstrate what is possible, but can't find a supplier Ps: Can also do proper 'hard chrome' that is very resilient and looks amazing.

Spoooooonz Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 are you still just teasing us or are you going to do some watches I'm not convinced the demand is there to justify the hassle, and this thread has not exactly done a lot to convince me otherwise.

jmt Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'm not convinced the demand is there to justify the hassle, and this thread has not exactly done a lot to convince me otherwise. The demand is here I think. But we need to have an offer to respond to. Show us a watch, please. Tell us a price, please? Propose something...then we will see if it is or isn't.

Spoooooonz Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 (edited) I don't have a watch done as I don't do watches, and i do not have the expertise to disassemble one to coat. I am trying to get hold of some panny cases I can do to show people, but no luck sourcing any yet. If someone can hook me up with some for a reasonable price I can proceed.

Spoooooonz Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 My point has been proven here I think, and it has answered my question as to why none of the previous people doing PVD offer the service for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
