Guest avitt Posted May 23, 2009 Report 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

mikellem Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 Great work Avitt! Can't wait to see further progress! MM
StormTooper4 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 Great Idea and even better results. I always liked svdavid's PVD 196 this will be even nicer ST4
coolfire Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 swidivad's 196 is a legend... Amazing looking one you've created there avitt...
Guest avitt Posted May 23, 2009 Report 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:
fishgodeep Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 Looks much better in the flesh than if I'd thought about it...really good work Avitt!! FGD

HauteHippie Posted May 28, 2009 Report 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.
