Actually, no.. Not only is this lume patina-ed and the texture somewhat fluffy.. and,... being that back in the day there was no C1-3 or SL,.. it reacts like it is very old lume.. just like my genuine Speedy Moon watch does.. Zig.. left no stone unturned with the 202A..

So crisp and clean.. I know it's SOP for ya.. but still,.. I marvel at the precision work !! always wanted to see you post one of the FM dials.. thanks Z!! AC L

Thanks R !! yup... look at the difference in pvd quality.. this is from a dealer with pretty good pvd.. but with macros a noticeable difference .. and this buckle has hardly been worn.. AC L

When I first viewed my 202A that returned from up North I was literally blown away by the looks and texture of the pvd coat.. wearing it today proved it to be more than just good looks.. Military watches depend on stealth in their pvd coat.. obviously any refection of light waves at night would not be good.. unlike lesser pvd coats that reflect their coating just as much as ss but in black .. my 202A absorbs light waves as Chiefs AR coating absorbs light waves.. this pvd coat is the mirror to his AR but in metal.. I took these pics in extreme indirect lighting and glare, with more lens exposure to illustrate the function of the pvd.. the Ultimate PVD with it's light absorbing capabilities The reflection of the crystal illustrates the lighting.. no AR in the genuine crystal of this model either... notice how the PVD just gets dull and looks dead.. compared to the areas not directly in the light. Closer to normal exposure from the pics I've seen of the genuine the bezel, this piece looks very much like the genuine The cg is absorbing all the light thrown it's way~ notice the areas not in direct light.. showing the absorption of the pvd normal image without full direct light Wristi.. the strap.. V's about 3 years old, never worn... very well made ! thanks for viewing.. I may add.. that the look of the pvd does not look as dead in extreme lighting but I wanted to let in as much light as possible.. no slight of hand here nor photo shopping. AC Lani

That's your dial in this work of Art .. thank you for that .. it makes it whole !!! got more pics being processed now.. I think I'm getting the right natural lighting set up for this PVD now.. this pvd does not bounce light off of the surface .. like others do.. AC Lani

Be very careful with this option.. I advise members to use the "Personal", to only those you know and "trust" when buying genuine high priced items I would advise you to use the standard PP feature .. to insure proper delivery of your item.. you could be in jeopardy of loosing considerable amount of money by using the personal option.. I don't think it automatically gives your shipping addy .. I was advised of this by a Doctor in EU .. it protected him as well..as he had lost $$ in a transaction with someone using the Personal option.. the personal option however is not open to all Countries..fyi AC Lani

past winners used to sit out .. but, we'll leave that to your discretion NR.. did you receive your Milgauss yet ?? the system is locked and loaded ,.. ready to go AC Lani

Fast Eddie was a character fo sure.. "50 yard dash in rain".. was his phrase for ATM the day's of photo buckets..

-
Ziggy out did himself Kruzer.. I am just lucky to be one of the recipients, it did take all day to compose these pics to get the lighting so not all of it was bouncing off the pvd .. got take more pics now with V's strap on it.. AC R

A nice Armani Tux with a bow tie.. cool.. and not the clip on variety.. it looks so cool at the end of the night to untie it and have it hang from the wing collar.. AC Lani

Still awaiting it but my buckle that was PVD'd at the same time is leaving this week .. V has a hide he saved for me to do this.. but a strap that I got from him a few years ago and was saving for such an occasion can fit my DSN logo PVD buckle.. so I'll have to retake pics with it on... it matches the lume colour.. I like it..

Congrats Arthur.. looks like your back in full swing !! I have my GMTIIC crystal with chief at the moment in hopes of replicating the AR under the mag.. I'll post the (hopefully) successful results.. AC Lani
