I like it but DLC would be better as PVD tends to scratch easily, not DLC though, but I don't know if you can DLC an existing watch or if it has to be done when they make it...

salem65 · 1 December 2014, 02:57 AM

I love PVD, and yours looks fantastic. I prefer it on the bracelet.

Can DLC be put over the PVD ?

Very unique!

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is the process to apply the DLC (Diamond-Like Coating). The key is to make sure the substance that is being applied is a quality, adherent, and scratch-proof material.

My watch was also done by Jack. We talked at length about the substance he was going to apply.

I do like the PVD look just to be different, nice aquisition

I wouldn't want it for my only Rolex, but I do like having one in a collection with multiples. Mine gets a fair bit of use

Memcwhirter · 1 December 2014, 04:59 AM

I like it.

Well Said. I wouldn't go PVD or DLC'ing every Rolex I have, but one in the mix is cool.

And just to be clear..... yours is PVD not DLC correct ?

Read my earlier post. PVD is the process, DLC is the material applied.

Hairdude1 · 1 December 2014, 08:53 AM

Looking good

waterman1 · 1 December 2014, 09:12 AM

Curious, once you've done the pvd process are you able to "undo" it and bring back the normal stainless look if you wanted to change back?

Roma315 · 1 December 2014, 09:13 AM

Not a fan of PVD but it looks good. In the long run tho I'm not sure you will be happy

Bdevenney · 1 December 2014, 09:56 AM

It really pops on that green NATO! Cool!

Absolutely. Obviously there is a charge for it, but it is less than a service.

boost2perfection · 1 December 2014, 11:51 AM

Looks good. Is it true the PVD scratches easily? Also can you service it at the AD?

1 -- No

2 -- No

waterman1 · 1 December 2014, 11:56 AM

Thanks Jason. I assume once the pvd is removed and back to stainless look then rolex would service it, right? Interesting. I like it.

I'm not so sure that they would be happy with my Red Yachtmaster hand....but yes, I believe that Rolex would have no ability to know it had ever been altered before.

I didn't think I'd like it, but it's AWESOME!
