The flagship image for their sponsored add is a Black PVD-Coated Explorer II 16570T which IMO looks absolutely AWFUL

. I clicked on the link to see the watch and not only are the additional pictures terrible, I mean taken with an early 90’s webcam terrible, but some poor sap out there purchased this watch.

I don’t know about everyone’s feelings on aftermarket PVD coating, but figured I share this with y’all.

Here’s the link to the [SOLD] watch listing: https://bit.ly/2L0KUGn

Spray paint its what this image is screaming!!

Probably a spray painted replica

doing an explorer 2 in PVD is the last stage before you take it to a pawn shop.

what a horror show.

A sharpie is the first thing that came to mind for me too. Can’t believe someone bought this and is undoubtedly proud of it. Crazy world we live in!

Great way to utterly ruin what was no doubt a lovely watch.
