PVD coating
Does the custom PVD coating increase or decrease the value in a Rolex?

If you like the look I would strongly recommend buying a brand that offers it at the AD this way. A coated Rolex is a tough sell. It makes them look fake and could be hiding condition issues etc.

I would never do that to my Rolex watches, although I do like PVD/DLC watches.

It chips and looks terrible, having owned one I feel qualified to make this statement , Sold it at a large loss , I couldn’t find anyone to reverse the process not in the U.K. but was offered the service is Switzerland 🇨🇭 €2,000 Swiss francs

PVD is a crap material for coating watches.I have seen so many PVD watches
with problems because of this stuff.And it costs a fortune to repair a watch with marks on it. Most brands have stopped using it. |

A good substitute is the Tudor Black Bay in Black... it’s awesome. Just gave mine to a friend and need to find another one...

PVD coating
I wouldn’t consider modifying a watch.
Tudor makes a nice ceramic chronograph with an alcantara strap. I’ve been contemplating on adding it to my collection.

If valuation is even a remote concern, pass 100%

That’s weird to hear about those PVD coated Rolexes. I’ve wondered about those but was never really interested in buying one. Porsche Design got it right in the mid 70s. I wanted to have a Porsche so badly in the 70s, I bought this watch a year before I could afford to buy my 78 911 Targa. The PVD still looks pretty good on this one after 40 plus years...
