jdkno Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Is there any way of making SS look like Titanium?? I have been wanting a Chrono Avenger for some time, the bezel is the one flaw I can not get past. I was wondering if there was a way of using the SS bezel from the SS Chrono Avenger and making it look enough like Ti to pass muster.
Fidestro Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 You can bead blast it to get a similar look, not exact, but it has been done here with success.

However as an owner of a gen IWC titanium watch, I can tell you that one of the Titanium features is its lightweight and cool to the touch feeling which cannot be duplicated.

As an owner of a IWC GST titanium watch and after spending countless hours and months on Timezone forum, I can honnestly say that one of the features of a titanium watch is its light weight and cool to sking feeling which cannot be duplicated. Sand blasting will only be correctly done at the manufacture as it takes special equipment. You can always try but the look will never be what you've hoped for...sorry
andreww Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Bead blasting will only get you the correct texture, you'll never match the color.
