Silver Contrast vs Non

[hbui]

I hope I am using the correct term here but recently I purchased a Large Sebenza with the Web-Sight graphic. I was thinking that it was going to a be a silver contrast but it turns out that it is not.

Can someone tell me when it is (beside the description) that it is going to be a silver contrast? Is there a standard on when it used vs when it is not.

I think yours is a silver contrast. Maybe you are thinking of a "reverse silver contrast"? That is were the grooves are bead blasted & the flats are stain finished. A silver contrast is the opposite....

SIlver contrast just means that the engraving is not colored... It's shiny and kinda polished looking. The stales on Silver Contrast slabs are usually bead blasted which is a major difference vs. standard CGG (Computer Generated Graphic) Sebs. Honestly I prefer standard issue plain sebenzas and I've owned every kind.... but if I were to have one made with my own design I would do a Silver Contrast. I don't care for the polished look of the CGGs.

So just to clarify, on the silver contrast the handle is the same as the standard issue plain sebenzas and that the engraving is not colored while on the reversed silver contrast the handle is polished and the engraving is the color of the standard handle.

Is that correct?

Thx.

Silver contrast & reverse silver contrast are not anodized. No color.

Top photo is silver contrast with a Hematite inlay.

Bottom photo is reverse silver contrast.

Hope this helps.
