Quick and Dirty for now. First impressions....a watch that does a lot of things well. Clean dial and very comfortable on the wrist.

Would have been a F*ck'in winner with no "black" writing and some vintage-red inscription instead. Still, it look good! Congrats!ThumbsUp02.gif

No qualms with the watch itself Mike, but after owning the Dievas Black Diamond, this one just doesn't have the same look. It basically looks like a PVD watch. Maybe there are different levels of "viccars" I think that is the term, that a watch can be coated with the DLC. The web site mentions the bezel and bracelet but is ambiguous about the case etc.

That said, and at the price point, the watch has a lot of "cool" factor to it. I'll try and get some better pics later. The caseback is very nicely done also.

It seems that Steinhart has displaced Debaufre in the hearts and minds of 3T'ers.

Nice watch...especially for the price. The DLC does scratch through quite easily, but you can temporarily touch it up with a Sharpie.bravo.gif

Thanks Ed....I guess that's the point. The DLC should be vitually scratch resistant so not really sure how they are marketing this watch.

I really know next to nothing about the various coatings available these days.  One guy I know, who has a company that's starting out...OWA...isn't satisfied with any of them.

I spoke to Anders too, and he only said that the Black Metal is the way to go. 

I don't want any more coated watches, after I found out how easily this DLC scratches through.  Anders has more Black Metal watches coming out this year, apparently...so that sounds good!
