DLC coating is by far more durable than PVD.

Thanks for that cool info om DLC vs PVD!! Very cool indeed. I've banged the watch into some stuff that would have definitely rendered my subs scratched... yet this watch remains looking like it was untouched... pretty amazing stuff!
My wrist is pretty small maybe between 6-6.25" so i was hesitant to wear a 45 mm watch... nonetheless I think its growing on me and is definitely a comfortable watch for its size.
The model number is M17330... its an Avenger Seawolf but a special edition black steel short run (1 of 1000 pieces) called the "Code Yellow" discernible by the yellow second hand. There are other black steel special editions but with different colors (red, orange). Yellow looks best to me and also happens to be Breitling's "color" like green is to Rolex. There are still a few Code Yellows around in some stores and on ebay... definitely a fun watch to own. Highly recommend it if your considering.
