All black watches?

What are some completely black watches out there from decent brands? I know Audemars Piguet made one before, but I haven't been able to find the model.

Here is the only one I know of now (Maurice Lacroix Pontos PT6148-PVB01-330):

Bamford will do this to your Rolex, but I'm personally not a fan.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of painting a Rolex either. I only like it with a black strap.

I think I found the AP:
http://www.watchesonnet.com/audemars...a005cr-01.html

It says "White gold". Hard to see whether it is white or black color though, but looks like black.

Skagen has one:

Would be nice if some more respectable brands offered something similar. I would've bought the ML but seems pretty thick.

Manufacturer Royale makes the darkest blacked out watch ever. I forgot its model name though
Zenith Spindrift, Zenith El Primero Superlight, Tudor also makes one

How black do you mean? Your first example has a white date. Does this qualify - Panerai Tuttonero? Even the movement is black.

I think it's called a blackout design. Looks cool, you'll need your cell phone to know what time it is.

The OP and art school depict it correctly. Think Paint It Black for my fellow AARP members.

I picked this up not long ago and actually love it. It gets more wear than any of my Rolex not that I prefer it but its very good for a daily wearer, I have been wearing it 5 days week for 3 months now and haven't noticed one scratch that wasn't there when I bought it.

I believe Hublot also makes an all black watch, but I am not an expert on the brand so I cannot remember the model name, you can have a look at their website.

most posted in here aren't black black.

I agree with the Omega DSOM Black Black
Bell & Ross Phantom
Hublot Big Bang or Classic Fusion All Black

Tudor Blackshield is pretty close, at least no white markers, but has gold or red markers.

This is mine, Seiko SCVE041, not exactly an expensive watch, but still from a more respected brand that most of the fashion blackout watches I've seen. It's the nano.universe limited edition from Japan. Wanted to try a black watch without spending too much. Came on a black nato, for the complete blackout, but I thought it actually looked better with a leather strap.
