chad Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 Is this in the cards for a release? Any insider info? Thanks!!
italiano17771 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 theres no reason why they shouldnt do it. they already did the case. im just afraid they will be using regular pvd.
elisiX Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 My local AD told me of a blacksteel SA coming.. now a rep of THAT would be shithot!.
andreww Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 Josh had mentioned that the black steel Skyland would follow the Skyland's release by several months. However, as Josh's Skyland was the V1, it would follow that the only confirmed black steel would also be V1. No word on if there are any plans for a V2 black steel.
supermanx Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 theres no reason why they shouldnt do it. they already did the case. im just afraid they will be using regular pvd. I'd bet money it would be pvd, blacksteel isn't hard to do but would cause the maker extra money for the initial setup.
chad Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Posted August 5, 2008 True, look at the joke of a watch the 292 cerarmic is. Finish is not important to them in PVD as long as it looks black. I'd bet money it would be pvd, blacksteel isn't hard to do but would cause the maker extra money for the initial setup.
milsub5517 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 how good is this ? Dluddy: Pictures removed at Bricky's request
bricky Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 ?! @mil_sub: Could you elaborate why you post pictures of a watch without asking the owner for permission to do so or at least state where you stole them?
coolfire Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 Skrtel....Oops... I mean, BlackSteel doesn't sleep, IT just waits...
docblackrock Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 ?! Hey Bricky, long time no see (shame about TRC). Age has not mellowed you I see Phew, thankfully my copyright permissions are all in order
bricky Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 Hey Bricky, long time no see (shame about TRC). Age has not mellowed you I see Phew, thankfully my copyright permissions are all in order Normally I wouldn't care at all.... but when someone uses MY pictures of MY watch without asking me for permission I tend to be a little [censored]. So if somebody would be so kind to remove them....

Josh's skyland was the V1 and V2....if there is a watch on the market,he has it. He had told me there will be a blacksteel (from which maker or if both do one,dunno),pretty sure he said a few months after the regular Skylands.

So if somebody would be so kind to remove them.... Aha, so it was yours? Quite, you have every right to be [censored] off. Milsub - you owe someone an apology. Strange because that lume shot has been posted elsewhere recently, and it looked familiar (I know you also had a BS, if you recall our discussions last Christmas you-know-where ) but I couldn't place it until now.
Watchmeister Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 So I take it all the pics are obviously gen. How do they actually blacken the steel? I have been wanting one of these since they came out. Need a pick-up in the personal economy for that one though.
docblackrock Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 How do they actually blacken the steel? Et voila... Not a PVD external coating but a titanium carbon nitride process that 'impregnates' into the metal. It's not scratch-proof, but more scratch-resistant than standard PVD.
docblackrock Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 One minor thing to note about the BS, is that the finish is quite a little fingerprint-collector. Slightly annoying but not enough to spoil the evil beauty.
bricky Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 So I take it all the pics are obviously gen. How do they actually blacken the steel? I have been wanting one of these since they came out. Need a pick-up in the personal economy for that one though. Yes, the watch in the pics is a gen - I had it for a few weeks and then traded it because the coating wore off on the edge of one of the lugs (probably from strap changing). The Blacksteel is a DLC coated version of the standard Skyland with a different dial (obviously ). I also had this confirmed by Breitling. Cheers, bricky PS: I'd like to have those pics removed..... thanks
milsub5517 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) SORRY, i found these pics through google and they are on someone's IS account. I also can not edit my post per RWG rules. In future - watermark your images if you are worried about copyright violations. Great pics, btw!!! here is more of this beautiful watch (pictures from google search): ?! @mil_sub: Could you elaborate why you post pictures of a watch without asking the owner for permission to do so or at least state where you stole them?

bricky Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 In future - watermark your images if you are worried about copyright violations. Thought about that quite often.... I think I'll do so in the future. This is actually the first time I found someone using my pics.... Great pics, btw!!!Thanks! @Dluddy: Thanks for editing the post.
milsub5517 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) there are ~1.5 billion internet users in the world (as of 2008), it took 1 user (me) less then 1min to find your pictures. im pretty sure your pictures have been copied 100's of times, its just you dont know about it.. its like miranda warning: "EVERYTHING you post can and will be used against you." LOL, I bet this phrase will be used by cyber police of the future. Thought about that quite often.... I think I'll do so in the future. This is actually the first time I found someone using my pics.... Thanks! @Dluddy: Thanks for editing the post. Edited August 5, 2008 by mil_sub
Dave123 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 Since when is posting pics found on the 'net a crime?... I see a pic i like,i save it....repost it if needed,whats wrong with that?...its not that he said it was his watch,that would be different.
Sir-Lancelot Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 I don't understand all the crying about pictures either. It's not like he used it on eBay to sell it. A tip: if you don't want other people to see or use your pictures then don't post them on line for other people to see.
magagne Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 I think using pic from other member here in this community/forum to "show" something and comment on it, and by specifying the name of the autor for the credit of the photo, I think it's ok. Outside this forum, it's little picky like the previous member says. Each person have a different opinion on this anyway...
CY0811 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) Dont take your pics that seriously Bricky....share them with the forum. Edited August 6, 2008 by CY0811
