Was there ever a PVD Radiomir?

Yeah I saw the DSN polished PVD Radiomir. That was dead sexy. It got me thinking.JOEJOEJOE said:

It's a fantasy model. 210 is supposed to be SS. It's nice though. Radiomir Ceramic is an actual model produced by Panerai that DSN was trying to copy. Not sure what the status is on it though.
A polished PVD black seal would be so sweet. A fantasy watch for sure, though I suppose someone could have purchased the real thing and sent it off for PVD coating...
There is a ceramic Radiomir in the works right now from a certain dealer and should be out soon. As the HBB ceramic is expensive, this one will be also. It is a very difficult process making ceramic watches, along with the cost.
Davidsen was going to do this by creating a ceramic skeleton over a SS case. There is a very interesting link of his somwhere from earlier this year. It's all gone quiet on that front. I'm guessing it's either too expensive or didn't work out as he'd intended.
I've just had a Radiomir case PVD's by Joe for a "Phantom" like Radiomir project. I'll post some piccies when it's ready (providing it doesn't look crap)

It'd be interesting to see how DSN's ceramic skeleton look on the watch. I believe he's also working on polish pvd case. For cost factor, I'd go with polished pvd. However for look I have no clue for not having seen the ceramic radiomir in person. Has anybody? will a polised pvd pass a ceramic case radiomir?
