DLC'D Rolex Ceramic GMT
Discussion
I kinda half agree some watches look good left as is BUT certain watches look better DLC'D like with everything I spose.
One mod I am working on is just hardening the SS surface means a watch can have 5-6times the standard hardness on the surface so good everyday durability and no serious clasp rub/marking AND can still be rebrushed, blasted or mirrored if required with SiC or Ally oxide.

Thanks chaps,
IMO to really improve DLC durability the SS should be hardened 1000HV-1200HV to 33 microns penetration and then coated that's what I will be trying out in 2012. The beauty with hardening is the surface can still be lightly mix gritblasted and so makes for much better durability far less eggshell effect after hardening!
