I have a Milgauss GV and I would like to customize the watch, likely just PVD or DLC on the case and bracelet. The specific watch has sentimental value, so I want the work done on my watch.

Anyone done this?

I live in NYC if anyone’s knows of a good company to have this done.

Thanks

The pureists wont have any good advice for you. I personally like it and have owned 1 non Rolex with a PVD coating on it. Looked great for a few years and then started wearing on all the edges and bearing surfaces. Looked bad aftet that and I didnt like the watch after that. So if you like the weathered look in time you will like a coating. If you like things clean and new looking I wouldnt do it. I wont get another coated watch again.

If it has sentimental value then don’t do it.

Simple, regardless of where you are, don't do it. It wears poorly and will look poor with time.

It was a gift from my wife, I don’t wear it much, but I couldn’t sell the watch.

The location was more looking for suggestions where to get it done.

I think the wear may look nice eventually
