My first post heretoon1.gif

After seeing pictures of the absolutely fantastic Barracudahearteyes.gif - I just had to sign up for the Sea Devil.
...So one "black in black" #82 will be mineyahoo.gif

My question is really for Ralf, but I thought more might be interested in the answer, so I chose to put it here, instead of just mailing.

I know there are several kinds of PVD treatments. What kind of PVD will be used for the Sea Devil? - what color and quality/durablility can we expect?

Kind regards to all
Claus

Great question....

the black/black looks AWESOME!!

(but I'm tempted to have some fun with this and go with the YELLOW).

I'll say this... Ralf puts out a quality product. I own a Barracuda and it gets tons of wrist time. You will truly feel that you under-paid for what you receive, in terms of watch quality and all that comes with it!ThumbsUp02.gif

Don’t get me wrong - I have absolutely no doubt in the quality of the upcoming Sea Devil ThumbsUp02.gif ...after seeing the Barracuda, I was hookedhearteyes.gif

I’m just curious to know what treatment will be used in the PVD process. As far as I know, there are several kinds, both regarding color, thickness, and hardness.

Great R2... so you are familiar with Ralf's product quality, I wasn't sure.

You bring up an interesting issue regarding the various PDV processes, both involving varying color and quality, so let's throw it out to the "3T-opedia" group:

Q: What are the various types, color, and quality of PVD coatings for watches, and what should we be looking for and staying away from?

My manufacturer  called it IP. I have orderd a Barracuda in PVD to see what quality it is and I am very satisfied. I wear it very often but it still looks like new.
 It is very dark  but cannot say how thick it is.
I will visit the manufacturer this month, to talk about new projects and to see how they work. I hope I can make some pics and get some news about the Sea Devil, I have confirmed the tecnical dial drawing so the samples should be  ready soon.
Regards Ralf
