Anakin14 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Hi, Generally speaking, how good is the black PVD coating on the rep B&R watches? I'm thinking of ordering this watch http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=104_148&products_id=1913 and I'm wondering how close the PVD coating matches the original's in looks and durability. Or, would I be better off getting a silver one like this? http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=104_148&products_id=2779 Thanks!

PeteM Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Worn in rotation these are OK mate. I wouldnt want it as a beater But as for gen like finish it is off especially the screws and lustre. But 99% of people wont notice !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakin14 Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Pete, Are both styles off or just the PVD? Why wouldn't you wear it as a daily beater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I think the BR's PVD is top notch stuff the one I had, though never really roughed up seemed really durable and was very gen like. I wish I'd have kept mine as they are really individual watches I should of got it on some leather, as it would of been a keeper then. Only real bad thing is the lume which is non existent.

PeteM Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Apologies I never saw your reply mate. I bought a couple of PVD versions recently and one had a nice finish but was very thin so it would chip scratch off easily. The other was tougher but the finish was not gen like. Both models face screws were not good So unless it was in rotation I would not recommend but I am happy with the SS once rebrushed and polished to look more gen like. ST4 never had a problem because his watches never take much abuse.....Well they wouldnt would they......As a manicurist he has very delicate way about him !!!
