If rolex did it maybe..

I really like the look, but would never do it to one of my Rolexes.

mbuckley · 3 April 2012, 07:56 AM

Looks nice and I hope it makes you happy!

cgjane · 3 April 2012, 08:11 AM

Ive had my PVD-DLC coated rolex now for 2 years...not a single scratch.

Hunting, Wrenching on my car, once I slipped poolside and banged the watch on concrete..not a single scratch.

I dont know what coating the other people have been seeing with scratches...

It's definitely not DLC.

By the way, PVD is the process, DLC is the coat.

There are other coatings that are not DLC but are PVD unto watches, or other things.

esspee1200 · 3 April 2012, 08:13 AM

Nice, but would never do it to my own.

mjclark32 · 3 April 2012, 08:32 AM

The look is growing on me, probably would like it in the flesh. Just a week or so ago a member posted a link to a batch of special commissioned Sub's for a Saudi family?? The subs were being blacked out by Rolex. I'll try to find the link and post it here

Keeperoftime · 3 April 2012, 08:57 AM

Not my style, but pretty cool!

911SC · 3 April 2012, 08:57 AM

Looks cool, not for me either. IMO, PVD watches is another trend that will eventually die sorta like BIG watches.

Dr. Robert · 3 April 2012, 10:22 AM

I like it.

2th Dr · 3 April 2012, 10:25 AM

The guy is a combat veteran... If he likes it (and I do too), then he deserves it. He's obviously very happy with it, and again, in real life it looks just awesome. It's not for everyone though.

Dr. Robert · 3 April 2012, 10:28 AM

If only the lotto gods let me win that big lottery....I'd have one.

How I feel too man. With my current wants this is down on my list but I really like it. I'm not bothered by it one bit but I wouldn't fork out for it unless I had a lot of extra cash.

Well said. Me too.

toolr · 3 April 2012, 11:54 AM

Echo "OMG", but not in the positive sense. To each his own, but definitely not for me.

DoxaDavid · 3 April 2012, 12:07 PM

I don't get all the negative feedback because Rolex doesn't do it from the factory, it must be bad comments.

Customizing a watch or any other thing which makes the owner happy is all good!

My take is you either like the look of a PVD'd watch or you don't and I personally do. I own three albeit non are a Rolex but I wouldn't rule it out someday.There are plenty of very high end watch makers who have PVD models so it makes me laugh when people say a PVD watch looks cheap. It to each their own.

Yeah, I don't understand the sentiment that it would look good if Rolex did it...but since it didn't come from the factory that way then it's trash. Kind of weird.

I think it's a really cool look. I don't think I'd want it as my ONLY watch...but it would be great to have in the rotation.

MortgageGuy · 3 April 2012, 01:00 PM

I like too but would want on the bracelet

wokafu · 3 April 2012, 01:10 PM

looks good to me...but im sure he will receive more NAYs then YAYs

Love Rolex when they are left as it is.

mikkolopez · 3 April 2012, 03:56 PM

Something new for modders to embark on Hugh I like my watches the way they are when they came from the factory. The most mod I would do is change the bracelet to straps and vice versa.

Ristretto · 3 April 2012, 04:02 PM

Looks great, love the strap.

He said he has the bracelet as well, PVD'd, but he likes the zulu strap. He likes the stealth look... He actually used the word "stealth", and as a combat veteran, it makes sense that he would.
