They are pissed. In the paperwork rolex sends back after service it clearly states, any non-original parts constitute counterfeit by federal law.

Rolex will refuse to service any watch that isn't 100% authentic, that is in the states at least. It's my understanding that things may vary a bit from country to country. However no worries, they'll make whatever necessary adjustments to return the watch to 100% original. Of course this owner will have to pay for all necessary adjustments.
However most owners of watches such as these understand this, and there are number of other alternative places to get a Rolex serviced.

They keep it and send you a letter informing you that you are a douchebag for buying a PVD'd Rolex.

I do wonder if they would have any legal standing in retaining your watch as recourse for buying counterfeit or creating counterfeit goods. Would be interesting to know how that would all play out.
In reality as well, I wonder what they do. Do they give you the option to take the watch back as is or do they force you to pay for the repairs and hold your watch hostage until then. Anybody here have experience with that?

Moo, forgive my ignorance, what what IS that?! Awesome industrial-looking bezel anyway. Your desk knows it's been dived now!
BBDC, the last one by a mile. Steel also looks better on you than gold; more manly. Same for the black face and bracelet. But I'm a little biased about these things. Size-wise, the middle one is fine. But a bit of chunk on the RO is no bad thing, and I think the third one suits you beautifully.*
*Possibly without the diamonds.

I think that "C" looks best, as "A" looks too large and "B" might be almost a bit too small (although I think that you could get away with it).
Please, please, please tell me that you were just trying on "B" and "C" for size and that you are not considering buying a watch with a diamond-encrusted bezel.

^ Thanks guys! Of course I won't be wearing watches with gauche and 'please-look'at-how-wealthy-I-am' diamonds. I'm trying them on for size before they bring in the model I'm after! 
Stupid sales assistant tried to sell me the most expensive watch (not pictured), insisting the largest watch face was right for my wrist. Bah!

So Moo--since this is TWAT, and we love explanations, care to describe how you came to this decision? It is quite an intriguing looking watch, and it is quite different from what is currently in your stable (if my memory serves me correctly).
