Date font not even close, I cannot understand how you can make a replica with all that precision yet cannot get the correct date font. Its seems the date font should be the easiest thing to get correct on a rep!

PVD is the process. DLC is the coating.

PVD = Physical Vapor Deposition
DLC = Diamond Like Carbon

All GF breitling watches that are black coated have been with DLC so far...I doubt they would change it just for this one...

I have a Breitling in PVD and DLC. PVD looks like paint. DLC is a coating that is not opaque black. DLC is more resistant to scratches and gray/black in color. Here are 3 pics. The first two are PVD, the third is DLC.

It was the first watch I bought from Marvellous Replica as I joined RWI. At the time the TD's were not touting the makers unless it was H Factory. Puretime has it. Here is the link. It is 44mm. In general, the Chronomat's are 44mm. My wrist is 6.75", I prefer 44mm. I will even wear a Super Avenger at 48mm on occasion. But that is just me. At the time it came with a bracelet. I have nothing bad to say about this watch.
