Agreed. Should have been matte.

Congrats, Roger! Sorry to be a bit late to read your post. Looks like a decent model, but as we all seem to agree, the shiny black case doesn't cut it. I guess DLC coated? From experience, the coating once it gets dinged is impossible to fix. And I imagine on a shiny surface would be even more visible. Still, the Prospex is a great watch. Maybe after you wear it for a while you will change your opinion.
Cheers, Carl

Cheers, Carl They just say “super hard black coated stainless steel”! shop.topperjewelers.com/products/seiko-limited-edition?variant=9115828944943My DLC coated Breitling has held up really well. I think the new coatings are much better than they use to be.

I think the new coatings are much better than they use to be. You are right about the improved coatings. I got the first Breitling DLC quite a few years ago. It didn't take long, nor did it take much effort, to get a ding in it. Partly my fault, though, for wearing it to work. Anyway, hope this deal on WUS works out for you!
