    They ruin the watch and then ask for more money for it?

    Caseback is still regular stainless steel? Seriously maybe I can understand PVD treating a 3570.50 but a vintage Speedmaster?

    The dark gray-ish DLC coating looks nice on a Speedmaster, but that PVD coating kinda ruins the lines.

    The PVD coating in the crown will worn out in months.

    That's actually not a bad point, Speedmaster crowns do get a hell of a lot of wear being manual wind

    Looks to me like it may have been over polished at some point. There just aren't any sharp edges left. Perhaps that's why it now has this crappy coating, like a beaten up old truck...
