In Response To: Getting the Black Coating to Stick to the Case ()

They are rare but by no means as rare as the PVD Monaco, whose serials are a bit lower than the Carrera.

What is rare is to get them on the bracelet, with case finish intact and no broken lume sticks - both of these are fine examples of that trifecta.

The rough finish is down to larger particles included in the coating to get it to adhere better. Judging by these two, it works pretty well!
