Hi chaps,

Haven't been on here in months just thought I'd forward one of the BEFORE and AFTER Rolex DLC jobs, basically I was sent a Rolex GMT Ceramic that had a worn and botched coating and refinished and RE-DLC'D.

Some more info the Rolex case was WET pressure tested 140metres and passed easily the case rating is 100metres.


MY only issue at the moment is turning work around FAST enough. frown

Before





After recoat

Looks good.

Anyone prepared to comment on how such a mod may affect value, if at all?

The coating is totally removable so Rolex could easily rebrush case and bracelet back to OEN finish etc.

Please stop posting these, Bry - It makes me sad I don't own one.

First thing I do (watch-wise) when I move home is send you one of mine!

I'm hoping to try the Swiss firm that DLC for Breitling as the firm I'm using are to slow. frown

Isn't there a reputable company in the UK, that you could use, who would turn them around a lot quicker? wink
