maxman Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Im a SS bracelet kind of guy...thats the reason why I havent purchased a (pvd) Skyland. Im getting ready to jump on this one. But before I do. Any thoughts...anyone.?

importr Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I had a brief look, and although I like the idea of a Blacksteel bracelet, I know it would get scratched up in no time. And you can't polish PVD... Not having a go at Perfect Clones, since they don't actually make the watch, but looking at the video:..... This particular rep has the v3 bezel and dial.....but the crown profile looks off. Like it's too domed? I notice that the bracelet is a v3 bracelet - the link connecting to the clasp is 1 piece, gen is 3 pieces also the way that the v3 links connect is different to v2: V2 has gen style construction whilst v3 has long screws, rather like a Rolex band. I found the quality to be inferior on a v3 bracelet. Probably all minor things, but hey - you asked for our opinions. I would rather choose a v2 DLC Skyland, with v2 bracelet that gets a proper DLC treatment, bit more durable than PVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I agree, a pvd'd bracelet is a disaster waiting to happen. It'll look great for about a month, then you might as well trash it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thats why I asked for "your thoughts"...now I have to back up and take a second look. Thanks guys. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opti Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 That combo looks absolutely badass, way way better than the rubber imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 That combo looks absolutely badass, way way better than the rubber imo. I agree..but It looks like the PDV coating will scratch easily...and there's no way to fix it like you can the SS bracelets. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 The appeal of DLC to me is having a contrasting strap. Too much going on with the matching bracelet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 i agree with everyone's comments...date font looks a bit wonky, too... if anyone is interested in a pvd bracelet for their Blacksteel, this is a good one...i've researched this bracelet and the coating is dlc and the same color as the v2 blacksteel...just under $80usd... i've recently put a burgundy color nato with my Blacksteel...mine is modded with hands repainted by Z to match the rehaut...the color is a deep blood red - burgundy...i haven't had time for a pix, but trust me, the burgundy nato is hot...
