    I wanted to see if the group had any thoughts on the black PVD Rolex watches.

    I've seen some special editions (42mm) and those re manufactured by "Blaken" - not sure of the premium on the price tag for those.

    Any good bad or ugly?

    Do the black watches show scratches a lot compared to regular stainless?

    Thinking of selling my Panerai 177 titanium and going with a two watch setup:

    Jaeger reverso grande Gmt
    And some black Rolex.

    Advice?

    Resale value will take a hit. The resale market on those is fairly limited. Check out the Rolex forum and you'll see.

    The PVD Heuer I had years ago chipped to the point that it looks cheap.
    Perhaps the coatings are better now but I for one wont be taking the chance.

    My PVD Pam 27 nearly perfect for as long as I had it.
