A quick Photoshop job ??? :rolleyes:
You're kidding ! You're pretty good at it !
What's the result if you do it with care ???? šŸ¤£

The black oxyde screws are the way to go here.

Come to think of it... I expect that the screws that attach the trim pieces are M6. Right? What length are they? I might as well put in my order at McMaster-Carr now.
I'm pretty sure that my better-half has ordered the goodies already.

I didn't measure them but, they are either M6x1.00x20mm or 25mm. I think they are 25mm. I found some chrome ones and some black oxide ones at my local Ace Hardware on the "wall of bins".
 
I do like the black screws, but I would want to replace the SS with the exact same screws except in black. I am not sure what the are not very good with metric.

If you order them, get enough for me and I will purchase them from you and pay shipping
 
I like them but I would like to know how to buy them since they are not listed on the RSD website? As a matter of fact they do not list anything for the R18. How is that for marketing?
Just Saying!

Who has front engine cover RSD + cylinder cover RSD please some picture.
Thank you
 
I did a test with black domed screws lying around in my garage, not sure which I prefer ...

I like the more mechanical look of the RSD chromed screws

Agreed. I prefer the OEM RSD stainless hex bolts as well. I poked around for copper bolts to match the vintage roundels on the net. They are available, but at over $7.00 per, I think I'll pass.

I knew I had some copper leaf paint in my hobby room, so I hit some black oxide allen bolts with a bit of the paint. It picks up the vintage vibe. I can always put the SS OEM bolts back it if the paint wears off.

It can't get much simpler, with just two screws to attach them. And they ARE pretty. If I get a pair the manufacturers ad will be deleted though. I don't believe in free advertising and when the product is so expensive, I sure as heck will remove the RSD advertising.

Would you delete the Rolex logo on your watch?
