scary thought i know.:)

anyways....

if a watch needs to be re-pvded, first the movement and everything would have to be removed. then that means the original coat would have to be taken off. maybe not a problem for the pvd guys? then again, i don't know how they remove it? chemically or do they sand it off? you know a watch case is tough but any refinishing not done by someone highly skilled could be disastrous. i would think chemically, so maybe that isn't a problem?

the other problem i was thinking about is that the case may need to be prepped...i mean refinished to remove dents, dings and the like so that the new layer will take correctly? also possibly refinished in a certain finish for the best results? so all of that stuff may take a watchmaker? to sum up, i don't know enough about it.

i think we need an expert of sorts to fill in the details for us? just some thoughts.

btw, very witty on the "surface" comment.
