PVD (black) Seiko fat bars

[ped]

Anyone know where to get some 22mm PVD spring bars for a Seiko Black Turtle?

Basically I'm worried that a normal spring bar will reflect sunlight if I take an artsy shot of my watch whilst on a sniper stakeout mission.

Cheers

Well two things spring(!) to mind: PVD'd springbars will wear down to the metal in no time and if you can see the spring bar then you have the wrong strap on it.

Thanks, it's on a USM style NATO so you can see the bars from the back. I expect they will wear at the ends, or not be PVD'd on the springy parts, but otherwise I don't think the main barrel would wear away anytime soon?

Mate. You've got to be pretty ninja if you're worried about Charlie seeing the back of your springbars.

(OK full disclosure, I want some spares so thought I might as well get black ones if available)

I think you need to see your GP mate.

That white stitching is a dead giveaway. Do you have a death wish?

What about the case back? Have you sprayed it yet?

[Ghost Chilli]

Definitely need tactical lume as well or you will be toast!

Most of it is covered with the strap but I’ll be posting a thread for a PVD case back soon

The Seiko Ninja has faded orange lume that’s quite tactical. Having said all this, I’m on a sniper mission at the moment and just realised my iPad might be giving me away. Brb... 4G in Russia isn’t great anyway
