Bigred7078 0 Posted January 19, 2018 I just received mine on Monday. When I first looked it over, I thought the case back had the filled in black engraving. Looking at it now, it clearly doesn’t haha. It’s actually pretty hard to tell due to the way it’s engraved but I do agree the dealer pics clearly show it painted black. This is not something I would personally reject when looking at QC though. I’d rather they mess this up in the current batch than wait for the next only for them to have messed up something visible.

zodl 0 Posted January 19, 2018 I received mine two weeks ago, and it never left my wrist since then And I’ve been lucky: it’s scary genlike, no wired 8 and the perfect optical illusion of black paint on the caseback Joke aside it’s definitely painted - the engravings are filled with black paint (see my picture) and the gen is definitely also painted. But nothing a Sharpie, Molotow or a black nail polish can’t repair if the actual batch isn’t painted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obvious on dealer pics it is painted.. dealer won’t have it though says they are all the same even though I bought two from him one painted and one not Edited January 21, 2018 by Joeytwotimes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And yes I was lucky with my example but if not I would’ve done the little paint mod.Wear yours in good health mate.Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joeytwotimes 0 Posted January 31, 2018 Anyway I hope you don’t mind if I go and talk to someone else. I thought I was done with this thread time ago but you guys pull me back in! @GingerBubba it’s been emotional, a pleasure for sure but my home is mostly at rwi and I don’t come here often. I concede this argument, once again see previous post about idiots :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
