After admiring the Hodinkee IWC offering, although not the price, then seeing it sell out today I have been looking at options for PVD watches having got rid of my seafire a while ago.
Not much appeals but I got round to thinking a speedbird PVD would be a great option.
I am sure this is a no but wandered if you had ever considered this Eddie?

That IWC is ceramic and not PVD.
It's a strange one, "Ceratanium, combines the scratch resistance of ceramic with the toughness and lightweight properties of titanium".
What happens when you drop it on a hard surface?Quote:

That is nasty, It was more the look that I like rather than the technicalities of the Ceratanium.Quote:

I'm sure the McLaren F1 team experimented with this material years ago. FIA banned it putting it under the exotic materials label. Pretty cool.
When I decided I wanted a black watch I bought this. After hours of reading I came to the conclusion that anything else would be too fragile. I wear the heck out of it and it does not have a mark on it.
