Hi Guys
Has anyone ordered and received one of Harold's new Black DLC Sardine Shrouds ?
If received, what are your thoughts ? Hopefully won't have the issue that some of the SS Shrouds had, being difficult to fit onto the Sardine
I've just ordered one only yesterday and awating delivery with great excitement
At USD $100, they're more expensive than the SS Shrouds that were sold for USD $88..but I had to get one
The images below are from Harold's PhotoBucket site..hope its ok to post them
Cheers

Honestly speaking, i can't differenciate this black DLC shroud and a normal black plastic shroud. Quite a waste of money in my opinion.

At least it is upgraded to full metal, plastic will crack over time? And with a black mesh. Complete tuna.

To me, at least, it's not so much the look...although I believe the DLC coating on the Shroud will look much better than the original plastic/rubber one
It's more the feel of the watch, when you put on that SS Shroud. I am a guy who like to feel the watch on my wrist, that's why I'm not a big fan of Titanium watches. I love the heft and feel of my SRP227 Sardine, modded with the SS Yobokies Shroud.
The Black DLC Shroud will be going onto my "Stealth" SRP236 Sardine project (I'm also getting a Black Bezel for it
)

disappointed with the SS shroud as it does not fit in,
need to do filing (still doing it) ...
email him and asked me to use crystal press to force it in
hope the black shroud u order is of better quality and do not have this problem.

I also like my watches to have some weight to them , hence why im also not into Titanium watches either

Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't
own it, but you can use it. You can't keep
it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it
you can never get it back.

Mine came today, but it is not a good fit, cannot go in.
Mine watch is PVD coated, don't want to squeeze it in as will scratch the lugs.

Too bad... perhaps able to sand / dremel it down so it fits? Or would the inside coating having been taken off be too apparent?

Tell him you going to forum to complain, he will reply u.... That's precisely why I don't recommend ppl supporting yobokies because of this. Not cheap and QC lacking... And Bo hue most of the time unless you are a 'known' forum person...
