Looks great.
Stupid question: can that be undone easily ?

1st amg · 7 June 2014, 03:19 AM

No, you have to re send it to IWW and they will bead blast it and have it re polished, I am not sure if it can be returned to original, but I think so.

It would be difficult for the crown, lever, etc to return to original brushed finish though.

patina on PVD/DLC case looks awesome as it age

masterserg · 7 June 2014, 05:55 AM

Fantastic! What did you do with the screws? Black or silver?

I don't think I'd have the guts to do that to a PAM, but I must say, it looks fantastic

Aaah, no that's not a bad question! My experience with PVD (incl. DLC) has been a mixed bag... :-/

MichaelFlash · 7 June 2014, 11:52 PM

That looks sharp! Makes the watch much more appealing to me.

Hadley Roma?? They are great for the $$$. This one is on a 46mm Shinola Brakeman Wright Bros LE. Case is very "Pam-esque".

Whoa! Talk about inflation.

Mike, I believe he used to charge $650 and has increased his price, its pricey but he does such a great job, it really does look OEM. I get lots of compliments

Oh I agree. I thought his work was top notch. Just surprised how expensive it got so soon. I was just surprised as I'm thinking of sending him one of my beaters to coat.
