Living on the Cheap: Picking out a Watch
A watch is often used to measure a man’s success and sense of style. Trends in the watch industry are often used to track how well the economy is doing. That being said right now the biggest trend in watches is the black dial/black face watch. I am talking about black on black people. The black band and black dial make these cheap watches sleek and sexy for sure.
I think that by now most people are by now loving the black on black watch. Wearing a black watch some years ago might have given people the impression that you were in the military or just trying to be James Bond. Slowly acceptance of all black watches has come around and they have started to filter into the mainstream of fashion.
Stainless steel or titanium is pretty much the norm for these all black watches. Most of the bodies of the watches are coated in PVD or Physical Vapor Deposition. The PVD process was initially developed in 1966 specifically for the materials industry. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak End of Days and Panerai PAM 004 stand out among other modern black watches as they are in strong demand among collectors.
