RG aka Rose gold, DLC aka Diamond Liked Coating, Plating....electroplate.

Lol, dutchy knows the difference John I think he wants to know if the plating on your diver is "plated" or "Dlc coated"

gosh dutchy really make me thinkin' now, can gold be DLC-ed onto steel...damn! very good question mate!! to my best of knowledge, i really don't think gold can be DLC-ed onto steel...in asia the lower cost alternative to gold, is always known as plating. DLC..? i really think not possible, maybe in future..

I certainly wished they could apply this technique in gold, and i would be worry free of the gold got strip off from scratchin'

Lol no trick question, just the Dlc gold holds up a lot better than the standard electro plating

PVD is used to apply gold on some reps they claim. PVD and DLC are the same process but DLC is more used to describe the black carbon coatings. (diamond like coating/carbon).

Lol, yes they are know to tell a few tails :hehehe:
I always look forward to the next new rep stating 1:1 with gen, exact replication :rofl:
But I have to say the gold on both my Montoya and RGRC is holding up very very well
