6 questions about watches I can't figure out

And if you still want and have patience to read about the pros and cons, here's what I have to say πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
EVERYTHING DEPENDS on the application technique and the professionalism of the producer. it depends on the thickness of the layer, the correct method, the correct processing temperature, etc... following all these factors, the durability of the material is directly proportional. it is practically impossible to detect how correctly and professionally the material was applied when you buy a new watch. it remains to trust or not the brand/factory that produced it.
of course, it also depends on the impact with which the watch interacts with other surfaces. of course, if it falls heavily, not only the PVD layer will suffer, but also the base material itself, which is usually stainless steel. in any case, if such an impact did happen, I know for sure that the specialists do NOT recommend a polish process. first of all, it will not solve the damage. secondly, the correct technique would be to first remove the PVD coating, to apply it repeatedly (to close all the cracks), and only then to polish.
who the hell r u????? πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„

regarding the 5th question with diver watches, I was amused by the way in which you formulated the question πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

no, the world is definitely not engaged as much to professional diving as you imagine😁😁😁. but with diver watches, the public is somehow more certain that their watch will withstand minimal impacts to water, such as a regular shower, or washing dishes, or washing hands)) if the watch withstands 200 m, it surely resists minimal impacts :D it's a somehow a matter of psychological safety))

another reason is that they are usually made by solid brands such as Rolex and Omega. In other words, only iconic brands make truly amazing divers. and if the watch is made by a well-known brand, naturally the watch becomes popular and desired. in many cases, people buy a diver just because it is a popular diver from the omega or rolex collection, but not because they would dive 100 meters every day...

one of the most important reasons though, in my opinion, is the legibility of divers. these are usually created to be easily read both in the dark and in water conditions, which are not always very clean. respectively, they are created as legible, bright and clear as possible. this characteristic has also found its place in wearing the watch every day, even if you don't have to deal with water. it's a pleasure to read the time quickly and clearly, in any circumstances. respectively, from the diver concept, they ended up being extremely "light" and practical even for every day wear....


add to this the fact that divers are usually very versatile, and suitable for everyday life. they fit stylistically, technically, with anything and go well with any fashion trend. I simply find them extremely comfortable in terms of style and I couple divers with any type of outfit ;)

mine 5 pennies for question 5 😁.
the evolution of divers is actually very interesting. this started with the creation of bezels to indicate the limit of oxygen below the waster and to support the decompression during the time when the divers came out of the depths. with time later, some additional tracks were added. now, it's curious how people don't really do diving, but still prefer these watches. this is because their style coincides with the modern trends of robust, firm, and visible watches. Respectfully, the world found their value in everyday life, not necessarily in aquatic conditions.

sandwich dials definstely r not my type... these r too in the depth of the case... there might be a certain charm in them, but personally, I can't get it... I find it compromising the legibility too much. I recently sae an ecozilla with such type of dial.. I seemed that I wouldn't find the end of the dial in the depth of the case, add to this the hyper-big bezel.... πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

also had issues with understanding the hacking secs, it took me some time to understand what's it about... u have really gut explanations here, so I have nothing to add... on the whole, watches are a real science so take your time to learn it thoroughly
