    Cerakoting, has anyone done it?

    Hi all
    Has anybody had a watch cerakoting, I know James had his pvd or dlc coated, but I am interested in this. It appears to be tough and easy to repair, used in the firearm industry and have seen the service on offer on eBay for seikos only I believe. Any thoughts or experiences?

    I had it done to a Tutima NATO chrono I had a few years back. I liked the look, although the mod shop I employed did manage to get a few dust specks in the finish. I probably should have kept the watch, I would venture that the finish is durable - it was certainly a better looking watch after I had the mod done.

    That looks very cool to me, I have an idea for a watch I want to mod. How does this compare to dlc coating

    The Tutima looks great, I need to do some more research on this. I had never heard of the process but it looks very interesting.

    i haven't any experience, but have considered having a well wore LeJour chrono done.
    MotorCity Watchworks apparently have plenty of experience and aren't too costly. Check out their gallery of previous jobs "Our Work".
