How did you DLC the HEV? Just Curious. Thanks.

Wow... I am not a Rollie Fan, but that thing is bad ass. I would wear that for sure.

I just removed the rubber gasket, replaced the valve, and coated it in the case. This is one of those "reverse valves", which would let water into the case...So I glued it in place once it was coated.

Sometimes I remove small parts (like valves, pushers, etc), and coat them separately. It all depends on whether or not they can be held securely during the process.

This is my watch. Tony (Avitt) does amazing work. He was a pleasure to deal with. Ultimately I am going to get it lumed by Vac and get the crystal ARd. I also have a blood red YM second hand that I am considering putting on.

Avitt, thanks for your response. I assume folks can send you the complete watch?

It's a little cheaper if you send me only the parts to be coated. But I can take care of disassembly and reassembly, if needed.

With the DSSD, there's always the risk that I won't be able to get the back off, because the proper case back die is not yet available. (Luckily, this one was only on finger tight...)
