Noob ceramic insert with platinum plating

[efthimis]

But the challenge is indeed to produce in a "rep territory" cost and for all of us to change the insert without breaking it.. and last one is not an easy one!!

Sponge Bob insert? lol......

Yea, i have a concept watch now.....
The 100th Anniversary Submariner produced by sponge Bob.....

If the price is 300 dollars, I would like to buy a gen insert...



Yes, the price will be less than $300, but the yield loss must be amortized....

Tough to amortize something that's a regular cost in every insert you do.

Good morning, I appreciated you like this mod and i am evaluating the possibility of offering this service.

I started to do this treatment from last December and the first sample is 4 months old, it's color gets dark a bit, but still match gen.

This insert is 4 months old and here is the photo under dim light:

This From the beginning, I took the pearl off to avoid spoiling it, but the insert cracked accidentally, than i always seal the pearl after this tragedy......

About the material, it is 99.99% pure platinum "bulk", not powder. It is expensive if you just need a layer to be coated on the insert.

Not sure if I understand you correctly, are you saying the colour gets darker with time i.e.4 months , even tho it is 99.99 % platinum.. How can this happen when it is pure? doesn't make sense

My Gen GMT2 platinum insert is as bright as the day I bought it and so is my Platinum wedding Ring

Most people use a soldiering iron.but i didnt have one so grabbed my birds hairdryer and there we go ha ha.and a soldier iron can get too hot imo and crack the ceramic.so I don't really recommend that method

I never take the bezel assembly off.as I would have no way of putting it back on .I don't have an xtal press

But how you remove it from the bezel after heating up the insert? with blade?

I heat up the fukker with the hair dryer.then gently grab the pearl area and see if the insert moves .if it does I wiggle lithe insert a bit untill loose then use my finger nail to get it up.or I use a sewing needle or anything I have lying around
