 I have a CDI and a CDII with the PVD bezel.  As you may know, the CDI does not have a PVD bezel.

Before buying my CDII I was plagued with whether to go PVD or not.  I was planning on buying the yellow dial Swiss movement version.  I really loved the look of the all-PVD model with the yellow dial but was concerned the PVD would wear through or scratch too easily.

I have other watches with plating and they always wear through on the bracelet clasp for me.  The ones that are black (not sure if it is PVD or something else) look the worst because the base metal color shows through the black very blatantly.  It just looks like crap.  So, I was concerned with the PVD.

But, I loved the contrast so I ended up going with the PVD bezel.  So far, I have no scratches or places worn through and the contrast against the yellow dial looks fantastic.  So for me, the PVD bezel has been perfect.

Good luck and I hope you like your selection.
