Dont scratch it
My cousin owned a PVD B & R and when it was scratched the coating came off and it looked horrible. I'd stick with SS

I see some I like, including the picture in this thread, but it's a lot of money and not reversible. I don't care to tie up so much in one watch.

Not sure yet if I like or would do to mine. I usually like the watches I get the way they come, that's why I buy them. Maybe a different band here and there, but not really anything more.

If I want a watch that looks like anything other than a Rolex I would buy one of those fashion watches that cost a mere % of the price.
I can't wrap my head around messing with such beautiful watches let alone the price they ask for them.

That dial really sucks.
