How are your PVD coatings holding up? Do they scratch easily? I imagine it's really obvious when black PVD gets scuffed and you can see the SS underneath.

I haven't had issues with that but I have seen some. I would liken it to "gold" plating. I put protective film on vulnerable areas on those and will probably do that with this new one of mine. I also take great care to not scuff up any of my watches, these coated ones even more so.

Thanks KJ! That helps,
