It’s DLC’ed titanium on a bracelet and a sapphire crystal for $1,600. Looks sweet but I don’t know about that price. I do want it.

That was my thought too. The stainless steel versions are great for that reason alone, they stand out as metal.hidden by leaves wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 8:16 amLooks just like my 5610!!! Kinda wish they'd just let the titanium look like titanium...

That’s the speculation right now. $1600 I’d a hard pill to swallow. If I knew for sure I could make money off of it I’d buy it to try it out. I’d definitely be a buyer around $800. I personally think for $500 the stainless is great. I just bought the SS from Topper and already have the gold. I got mine around $400 each new.tattoo chef wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 10:48 amCrazy. I love the stainless ones but I had a hard time with the $500 price tag. $1600 is a no go for me unless I could sell for $2200 and make some coin.

The more I look at it the more I think that’s what they were going for. I have a feeling it’s going to sell out quick.hidden by leaves wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 8:16 amLooks just like my 5610!!! Kinda wish they'd just let the titanium look like titanium...
Yeah I don’t know about trusting coatings. At least scratches in titanium and stainless steel blend in.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 5:18 amDLC coating isn’t a value add ever. It just ends up scratched and shitty looking.
And if you scratch black plastic... it’s still black plastic underneath.Torrid wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 5:49 amYeah I don’t know about trusting coatings.

I kind of wonder about the gold model. I’m wearing mine now but it is some form of PVD. It’s solid but I wonder how it might look in a few years. The standard SS model will be delivered to me today. Might be the one I should have bought in the first place.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 7:54 amAnd if you scratch black plastic... it’s still black plastic underneath.Torrid wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 5:49 amYeah I don’t know about trusting coatings.

Might be. I do know the stainless is regular uncoated. I’ve seen a few rebrushed and even one bead blasted. Whatever the process is on the gold is tough, it’s holding up nicely.toxicavenger wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 11:37 amit might be like chrome plating. kind of like diashield.Torrid wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 8:04 amI kind of wonder about the gold model.

I’m glad it exists but it’s a big overkill. Sapphire would be nice to add to the steel models, but as it stands the steel models are nearly the perfect square. These are great.
I often wonder if it’s true DLC? I’ve seen DLC coated firearms that look new after years of abuse.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 5:18 amDLC coating isn’t a value add ever. It just ends up scratched and shitty looking.
