What the hell is this coating?

Post by tattoo chef » Tue Mar 08, 2016 10:24 am

Is this a cerakote on the case and bracelet? It looks horrific.
Way to make a Rolex look like a $10 department store watch.
At least just bead blast it...

Can see what you are saying Don. The idea is actually pretty cool honestly,
and if it was bead blasted like you said it would look a lot meaner, and more
tactical. :headbang: Maybe it's a prototype, and not quite finished.

Thanks for the look in any case !

Unfortunately not a prototype....finished product.

I just looked again and it's called "army brown graphite particle coating "......

Kobold calls theirs "Safari coating" if I remember correctly

Maybe I can do a ToxicSLUDGE coating :puke:

Sad that you can already see a defect in the coating on one of the links on the right.

I would imagine Rolex bracelets have fairly tight tolerances and aren't the best choice to be coated.

All that watch needs is to replace the "Rolex" on the dial with "Trump."

Fuuuuu why am I the only one who thinks it is not horrible?

I like it. I would not wear it, but I like it. As stated a rolex doesnt need such craziness, but to each his own. :gayumbrella:
Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?

It's not exactly the look or color as much as the shitty job done on the case and bracelet. It looks like they mixed paint with dirt and sprayed it on.....
