Hello everybody,

I am upgrading from a SSSB S3 to a Graphite SS S6, after much deliberation to decide between SS and Titanium. I decided to go for SS Graphite, as my SBSS S3 has been on my wrist for three years and it looks absolutely mint - no scratches whatsoever! I did look after it, but I think the DLC coating made all the difference. My new AW should be coming tomorrow, and I can't wait to try it but... I have just noticed that Apple's website has mixed information on the coating on the Graphite SS S6, at least on the UK website (I am based in London). The generic AW S6 page tells me that the Graphite SS comes with DLC coating, but the tech specs page within the specific page mentions no coating whatsoever! The specific page for the SBTi does say that it's DLC coated, so I am wondering why that info is missing from the Graphite SS. I phoned Apple today, and two people told me two different things... One said that the Graphite SS comes with no coating at all, the other reassured me that is has DLC (even though he seemed not to be very familiar with it...).

Is there anyone who can tell me whether the Graphite SS S6 does come with a DLC coating, or not?

This is my first post, sorry about it being quite wordy and thank you very much in advance!
