Guest avitt Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 I knew that, if I DLC coated enough watches, I'd eventually meet up with this challenge... Black-on-black just doesn't look too good on a chronograph bezel. The owner asked if I could color the indices red, and the text silver. First attempt, and I don't think it looks half bad: ...I took the lead from swidivad, back when he was davidws on TRC: http://www.replicacollector.com/members/in...showtopic=19560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest avitt Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Thanks guys The silver color didn't agree with the owner, so I stripped the bezel down, and repainted this morning: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 More great work from avitt here... Really nice, T. I always drooled over davidws's 196. BTW, I don't know how you painted it but I've heard that product called Lacquer Stiks work really well... maybe that was mentioned in the old TRC thread. Don't remember.
