I just saw this on TZ, not sure how many on here saw it so I figured I'd post the link. I think this is by far the best Blacksteel I've ever seen, but that's just my opinion.

It does look good, but I have to wonder how durable it will be - especially as it's only PVD.

I'd be interested to know the durability and of course cost ;)

A LOT of BS owners have been dreaming of the day when somebody would cough up the change and take the risk... Im gonna bet more than a few are gonna follow suit.

That looks really good. I don't think the colour is quite spot-on, but it's not far off.

The thing is, as it's PVD then the durability won't be up there with the head, but then that's my whole issue with the Blacksteel models anyway - they look FANTASTIC but if you damage them you're screwed.

Now imagine if that had been made in brushed-finish black ceramic instead.....

I have admired this gentleman's customized watches for sometime. He has a Rolex Sub no/date that has a DLC coating that IMO is one of the best looking, masculine watches I have ever seen. Worth taking a look.
