What I've heard is that if you send a watch back to Rolex that has been PVD'd, they'll polish off the finish or replace the case and charge you for it no ifs, ands, or buts.

All the same, the PVD Submariners and DSSDs are hot!

that's probably an option but from what i know from friends that have had this done and they have some good connections within the dealers they're pretty much unservicable from rolex unless like you said it's all swapped out back to stock. obviously they'll just have a 3rd party service the watch as it's cheaper and just as reliable

The one I really like most is this IWC portofino http://www.quochuong.net/webadmin/im...watch-992g.jpg Do you have suggestions for anything similar that is under say $ 1750 ?


Hard to go wrong with an IWC...very timeless, classy watches. Would it be possible to save or otherwise be temporarily advanced the extra $$$ for your ideal watch? It's much better to pay a bit more for something you'll keep and will associate with your collegiate achievements.

Yeah, and I'm not a fan. The mock-ups look decent, but any pics of it from Basel looks like crap:

And don't get me started on the lack of lume on the bezel. I greatly prefer the now discontinued SOSF.

It looks a lot better with the black chapter ring, I think. But yeah, a "diver" it is not.

There are a few companies that do that, but it's obviously not cheap. Here's an LE Deepsea that I think is just killer.

Be aware that Rolex will change it back to its original condition and charge you for it if you send it back for repair.
