Glaude 1,615 Posted March 2, 2021 17 hours ago, Darkstar5 said: That actually looks fantastic. Wasn't really a fan of the Rainbow editions, but that is pretty cool. How's the coating? Does it feel like it'll hold up? Thickest coating I've ever seen, almost like you could feel the coating, hard to describe but picture a heavy coating of material on climbing crimp holds for example. The clasp is held very securely by two ceramic ball bearing, they scratch the coating each time you open and close and so far it has barely made a mark in the coating. This rainbow is certainly the most discreet if you are unsure of being comfy wearing it, it's also as far as I can see the best gradient of stone there is, all other regular rainbow are more mismatched (I have another regular White gold version one, so I can compare) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the info, I was concerned about the coating scratching easily and showing silver through but sound like it's pretty tough. Now I'm torn between copying you with the Daytona, or the Blaken hulk sub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check factories, I can only talk for this particular one, another Blaken model from another factory might not be the exact same type of coating.

dave47 6,477 Posted March 3, 2021 Hiya, Group! Today's ride is from The Gate, which was ordered last November 11, 2000 and finally arrived yesterday. This has been the longest wait I've ever experienced from them; but as the seller explained to me, shipping was affected by the chaos caused by the world wide Pandemic, then the affect of the Christmas/New Year's holidays. The assured me it was in route & to be patient, which I knew. The watch is an OMEGA SEA MASTER AMERICA'S CUP automatic on sailcloth (?) strap. Great dial detail, solid case and comfy strap. I'll be wearing this for a few days. In the face of the Pandemic, we have to be patient. dave: 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
