As we all know, the Achilles heel of most of High end Rolex reps is the color of the "Platinum" engravings on the Ceramic Bezel! Under Sun/Flash light they seem OK, but inside and under low light conditions they tend to appear Greyish!
My 116610 LN from ARF is no exception!

So after coming back from Rolie for a slight issue, I thought a Bezel "Makeover" would make my Sub look truly amazing!
I decided to go with the "Sharpie" method that I saw "next door" at RWI.
Since we don't have the Sharpie brand in my country, I tried to find something equivalent. After playing around with a few brands, checking the color and the ink flow, I decided that the "Pilot" brand was the best to use for the task!
Filling the engravings with a continuous flow is fairly easy! You can't use too much....Just be careful not to overdo it! No worries regarding the removal of the excess paint; it's easily done with an disinfectant wipe and a cotton kitchen towel. The glossy Ceramic Bezel makes it very easy to clean.
After applying the paint, I let it rest for a while or you can speed up the drying process with a hair blow dryer (if you're in a hurry)
You then use gentle strokes back and forth with the alcohol wipe + towel ( in turns) to remove the excess paint covering the Bezel.
Put some elbow grease and after a while here's the result:

Pretty cool, huh?
Thanks for watching!
Cheers!
