That's the first Rollie Ceramic I've done bracelet is done but needs a few parts recoated which is often the case with DLC or PVD coating work.

Can't fault the quality of the work, Bry.

...but I think it looked better before.

I kinda half agree some watches look good left as is BUT certain watches look better DLC'D like with everything I spose.

One mod I am working on is just hardening the SS surface means a watch can have 5-6times the standard hardness on the surface so good everyday durability and no serious clasp rub/marking AND can still be rebrushed, blasted or mirrored if required with SiC or Ally oxide.

I can't make up my mind on DLCd Rolexs, but that GMT2 certainly does look quite good.

ETA I think I'll stick with my (DLCd by Bry!) Citizen for now! smile

That does look good. Can't say I'd have the nerve to do it to mine. But very nice.

Thanks chaps,

IMO to really improve DLC durability the SS should be hardened 1000HV-1200HV to 33 microns penetration and then coated that's what I will be trying out in 2012. The beauty with hardening is the surface can still be lightly mix gritblasted and so makes for much better durability far less eggshell effect after hardening!

So would that set me back £400?

Hi Sir,

You would have to ask the DLC service provider but £400 is a realistic price. wink

Bry - Fantastic work as always!

I would still love one of mine DLCd... If I could find a new/ old stock SD, I think this could be the way to go!

Hope all is well in your personal life and everything is ok.

Best regards,

Dom
