Hi. I was wondering if anybody has experienced any scratches, nicks, or scrapes in their Damest-Coated Damaskos.

I've owned a DC66 Black and DC67 Black for years now and both are 100% blemish free - they look like they've just come from the factory. I can't say the same for my Tegimented Sinn watches - which seem more durable than regular steel but nowhere close the level of Damasko's Damest watches.

I'd be curious to hear people's experience with Damest-Coated watches.

Thanks.

I love those innovative Damasko watches! I'm not at all surprised that your watches still look like new. I really like the look of black-cased watches, but could never bring myself to buy one because of durability concerns of the PVD. A Damasko would be the only way I would consider a black-cased watch.

I'm not usually a fan of black cased watches, but my DA35 Black continues to look new. This is no ordinary PVD. I recall reading that it is harder than the standard ice hardened Damasko case, which is incredibly durable as it is...
