PVD Rolex Sub

I know some of you guys don't like PVD, but here are some pictures of my newly PVDed Sub no-date. It has been PVDed by a industrial company who usually makes surgical instruments for hospitals but also do PVD for a known watch brand.

The bracelet has been through twice as long process just to make sure it got as prefect as possible.

For any questions or comments, please respond or send me a PM/email

Sorry I don't like the look of PVD on the Sub ND. The colours merge too much, which is the idea I suppose, to create a military effect. Not for me.

I also don't like the knife.

I think PVD looks great on some models, and not with others. Yours looks fantastic!

Very nice looking watch!

Nice knife too. One should have a good knife in one's pocket at all times.
