Timepiece Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) Created: 07/02/2008 Edited: 08/02/2008 (text formatting and added some pics) FIRST: PLEASE DON'T PM OR E-MAIL ME TO ASK ME HELP TO FIND OR RECOMMEND A BLACK OR PVD WATCH FOR YOU. I ONLY INVESTIGATED THE SUBJECT FOR MY OWN PURPOSES AND INTEREST! Don't hesitate to reply this thread and give suggestions. There are lots of knowledgeable people in the forums who can (and want to) help. I am not an expert on the matter and have no connections to any of the dealers that may appear in the watermarks of the pictures I used. None of the pictures are made by me, since at the time of writing this topic I was searching for a suitable black watch. I gathered all information below on the net. Thanks to By-Tor for my (blatant) copy of his excellent disclaimer Edited February 8, 2008 by Timepiece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Well, there's the one you mentioned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Oh, and to tie your two articles together, I've got my Top Gun on a black NATO strap. The trick is to marker-pen the spring bars black so you can't see the parts made visible by the fact the NATO is a 20mm strap on a 21mm watch.

Victoria Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Somewhere out there, near a black vintage BMW, Eunomians just had a conniption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Damm! Are you a cop? No, he's just an American. Seriously, many many thanks to TimePiece. What a day of amazing posts. Days like this, it's great to be on RWG. (I dress 50% of the time in black and white. Strangely, I don't have a lot of all-black watches, which are more unusual for ladies. They remind me of Movados -- but I do have a vintage Cartier Tank with black face: I'll post later!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hmm... Watches, phones and knives... I see a theme emerging I'll have to photograph something suitably tactical PS Awesome article, very informative and comprehensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroTimez Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 TKs for the information, got me all hyped up for a black PVD watch now, just haven't seen one to my like-ing just yet. Like Victoria said, I usually dress black, well most of my clothes 60% is black. Not into the colorful stuff (also when buying watches), like green, orange, pink (alltho I ordered my first Pink Gold watch -a Tourby from Homer). Any great black watch suggestions guys to add to my collection? The top-gun looks pretty sleek, tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
