Screenshot 2015 04 25 09 47 05

Casey Neistat, the man behind the ‘Chinese Mafia’ iPhone 6 launch documentary (and the ‘Dark Side of the iPhone 5s Lines’), has now shared a way to turn your $519 CAD Apple Watch Sport into a gold watch, by using some do-it-yourself trickery, saving you $13,000 CAD from the ‘entry’ 38mm Apple Watch Edition.

Check it out below:

It actually looks somewhat decent and may trick people in public—would you try this on your Apple Watch Sport?

I can see it lasting about 1 week before the paint gets chipped, scratched and looks like shit.

Just enough time to resell it on eBay as a real Watch Edition Gold…

“Looks somewhat decent”?! Oh my, this looks horrid! All for YouTube views (and repostings in certain blogs…. err… umm…..).

I’m not sure a spray-painted watch has ever had that descriptive word ascribed to it before (kinda like saying a spray-painted car is beautiful). I’m glad you like it, not sure if you’ll like it as well in a few months, and who knows about resale. I guess one could spray paint their iPhone as well…

Now if only my bank account could afford spray paint after shelling out for Apple Watch.
