I have only had my 2 Getat watches for a week, but I like them so much that I want to order another one! Probably similar to this;



Does anyone know how robust the PVD coating is from Getat? Does it scratch easily?

Thanks

I had one, it was a bit thin on the crown and started coming off after 6 months of light use. You had to know to look though.

Wasn't expensive, so wasn't too bothered.

What was the wait / communication like ? I may be tempted to go back.

The watches took about a month to arrive, but I did change my order from brushed case to polished a day after ordering. Waiting for delivery is half the fun!

I'm thrilled with them though. Way nicer than a £50 beater from the highstreet.

I might give the PVD a swerve though.

I got on of these.


Took well over a month to arrive, looked great and I think the PVD was quite good.
But alas the power reserve wound down and never came back up after only a couple of days.
Then not too long after it stopped completely, so no idea if the PVD would wear well or not.

Probably got a knock in transit to be fair, but then all my "Homage" watches apart from one have have broken eventually.

I suppose I should have sent it back, but they only give 3 months guarantee and I could not be bothered to wait another 2-3 months, so I just threw it in the bin!

It did look nice on the wrist though!
