Really? The only trait they seem to share in common is their colour (or lack of colour).

Cheap Casio plastic looks like cheap plastic

I think I know that guy!
Not sure how I feel about the TT models with the DLC but I do like the all black ones.

I don't mind the all black ones, if its not an every day watch so the finish has a chance of lasting...

BUT THAT BLACK/GOLD looks SO WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope nobody buys them so they just fade away.

Any real wear and they will start looking like crap as well.

Thats a really cool video describing the process. It sounds permanent because those particles are actually imbedded into the metal.
