In Response To: Re: The boys are back.. ()

Hi Alex

Wow,you`ve certainly got an eye for details!

The Pasadena however has not been re coated,and is still wearing the original production PVD.There is some difference in nuance from case to bracelet due to the bracelet being a replacement.(courtesy of Graham,thanks mate)

The particle thing I did not know about,quite interesting to learn that it`s the size of the particles that determine the colouring.

Thanks Alex!
Cheers

: yes they look good. but even at the picture its clear (at least for
: me), that the coating does look (very) different from the
: original PVD.

: I miss the "grinding look" at the bracelet and case. for
: the Monza its of course nearly the right coating, but still the
: "black-tone" is different (some blue undertone as you
: would expect from e.g. carbon black particles with a to small
: particle size)

: However nice that it is possible to bring theses boys back to what
: they where !

: ape
