In Response To: We were just talking about PVD barrel Carreras ()

: And here's one on eBay!

: The seller talks about how the dial, hands, crown and pushers are
: original. And sums up with "THIS WATCH IS REALLY
: STUNNING,NEARLY MINT AND 100 % ORIGINAL HEUER!".

: But! There's an elephant in the room, and it's... well, how about I
: just show you?

: No connection with the seller, but I should point out the watch is
: some way from mint and original having been very heavily
: polished and losing all its PVD finish in the process.

Seen this one on ebay a few days ago Mark, i actually like the watch as a steel case version without the pvd but obviously not via this method of removal.

Shame really,

James.
