Could you share who you used for the PVD please? BTW, it's for a Heuer, not an Omega.

That’s what I meant. Can you tell us the name of the company that carried out the PVD or DLC process please? I have a Heuer Pasadena that I would like to have refinished. Thanks.

Be careful the PVD form the 70’s is not the actual one, before the original PVD was more “plastic” feeling, the bracelet get the PVD done by electro static deposit much more thinner than the case and brillant.

With brilliant you mean shiny or glossy ? That is a really good match with the case of your watch i think.
Is it also possible to have a matt finish with this company ?

I think that the PVD finish is largely dependant on the finish of the host item. That is, if the existing watch case was shiny, then the PVD will also be shiny. If the watch case is a sand blasted finish the PVD will then be matt.
