Well what do you think guys? DLC meaning Diamond like Carbon coating hardness around 2,000HV.

'kin hell. How do you do it? Mind you, that's probably a bad question to ask as I'd end up DLCing everything in my house. evil

No I don't have a DLC or PVD machine they're expensive to run well VERY expensive.

Nem if you want some MTB parts coated that's no problem. Nar not possible to coat the frame be easier to use Hammerite! biggrin

DLC is basically the same as PVD.

Why not just have the SKX009 satin finished?

Before and after satin finishing pic:-

Bry - I really am loving your work!

I have an old Seiko 'Sub' that gets, literally, zero wear and isn't even in Singapore with me.

It has a chipped crystal (can you replace?) and is screaming out for a PVD coating!

If it came back looking like the one in your first post, it would be regularly on my wrist.

Still considering having you do my Rolex ND Sub... Will have to discuss more next time we head home.

Hi Dom,

Either a OEM mineral glass or sapphire can be fitted no worries.

The Rolex shouldn't be to difficult providing she doesn't have any deep dings etc etc.
