Nope. I saw that on WUS yesterday and I think I showed remarkable restraint in not posting a negative comment.

I think cerakote looks horrible. Not good enough for a BASM, much less a decent watch.

Its a Blue Ti cerakote, so the shade is slightly off IMO.

Typical of most Modders.

Fudge something up, then sell when they realize their mistake or get bored. On to the next watch and repeat.

Its really not nice :doh: .
It would have looked so much better if the bezel numbers had been paint filled,just to distract from its uber-bland look.
I'm afraid he's made a great looking watch look like a saucepan.......why? :scratch:

Same here. That looks terrible and will look worse in short order when the Cerakote starts flaking off.
