Hey all. I decided I wanted a blacksteel deployment clasp to match my skyland. Well as expected I was quoted a ridiculous price from breitling so with the help of bonedoc I found a more reasonable (cheaper) solution. I found a used deployment clasp with a strap on Ebay and sent it in to be coated and it came out to a fraction of what I would have paid. Well here are some pictures.....

Very nicely done indeed! Is there a difference in colour or something that you can see?

The work was done by IWW. To be 100% honest I think the clasp came out a little darker then the watch so if you are a perfectionist this may not be a good option. But for 125$ I have no complaints.
