I find that most either love or hate PVD. I love it. They fit the bill as a "sport" watch. When I go fishing, hiking, biking, gym...etc, guess what I'm going to strap on? It's not going to be my GMT2C with PCL's. Prohunter fits the bill. The PVD is very durable and scratch resistant. More so than bare steel.

Looks good on Jason's SD but I haven't yet taken to modded Rolex. Takes the fun out of whining, why didn't they release it like this blah blah blah hahah

That said, I wear my pcls to the gym all the time. I'm not muscle man lifting in front of the mirror. I'm the nearly fat guy running off his craft beer obsession on the treadmill with long sleeves, so no concern of looking like a tool.

Wow! jack does a great job. I think the black bezel insert would look better, IMHO, though.

Whilst not a major fan - I would only recommend Black-Out Concept.

Mine is a daily wearer, too. Well, certainly weekly. And has been for 3 years.

PVD/DLC GMT-II. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. And although he'll deny he said so, my AD loves it, too. In fact, he's getting one for his son.
