It looks very nice. I noticed yours is more of a flat black finish. Is that due to the material you chose for the PVD process?

I have seen other Rolexes with blacked out finish that has a little bit of satin sheen to it, which I like. I read up on PVD, CVD, DLC, ADLC etc. on the internet. There seem to be a lot of industrial coating companies who can do these processes, but none seem to have any experience with watches. I suppose casing, bracelet, and bezel should be no problem but how about the hands with luminous coating?

your PVD finish is fabulous it is very well done..much better than almost everything else I've seen

it is such a major experiment, that I must commend your guts to go for it it will take us some time to get useds to a black-finish Sub but I must say the look is really stealth and military and very different, in a good way

The watch has been sand blastered before the PVD-process to give it that matte look
