The watch is brand new and the link bracelet is about 15 months old. It’s amazing how much this DLC coating has held up on the bracelet. While I am not huge on an all black watch, the coating has kept everything looking great. This is a scratch-prone materials (Stainless Steel) covered in a bonding agent that keeps scratches from forming. Worth the extra $50 over the regular watch and link bracelet ($100 increase)
