What do PVD, CVD, or PE-CVD mean?
Physical Vapor Deposition is a method of plating gold or other substances to a thickness of several microns (1/1000ths of a millimeter) over a base metal surface. Other methods include Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), or Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PE-CVD). This allows the watch to look like a gold watch, but it won’t last for more than a few years of normal wear. When it does finally show through, it cannot be repaired.
