MODDING: metal treatment and coating

In the interest of non-hijacking, I'm starting a new thread for the discussion of the above topic. The initial post was on sandblasting in Singapore by stratix.

FYI, some coatings that are currently available on some of our watches are:



PVD: Physical vapor deposition

I agreeeeeed.

Absolutely agree with you guys. Which is why a lasting tough metal treatment is key, not just cosmetic covering.
