Re: Oh no! I've been bitten by the PVD bug!!!

Beautiful! The Lemania movement is a wonderful piece. I love my Pasadena, too, with its Valjoux movement. PVD is good!

: For years, and despite multiple encouragements from Chuck Maddox, I
: never felt attracted to PVD-coated watches. I thought that even
: if they looked good new, they too often ended up looking like
: they had spent some time in a bucket of coal. As a result, I
: passed on many opportunities to acquire such a chronograph.

: Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago. I stumbled upon an auction
: for a ref. 510.501 TAG Heuer in remarkably good condition, and
: given that the price was right I decided to place a bid. Much to
: my surprise, nobody else did, and I ended up buying this watch.
: At last I would begin to understand what that PVD hype was all
: about...
