Hi, my AD (Grey AD) can make my 111 to be PVD case. What do you think Guys? Let my 111 original, or change the case colour to PVD? Please your advice. Thanks Guys!!!

Best Regards, TR.

I'd be up for PVDing a watch, but only a watch I don't wear a lot. Must be careful with it.

Scratches stick out like a sore thumb. You won't hurt the value of your watch, so do it if you like Heru.

VazLube · 10 January 2009, 02:16 AM

Personally I wouldn't do any mods on the case. The only mod is straps of course.

TswaneNguni · 10 January 2009, 03:51 AM

No

Polished case is easy to remove scratches.PVD ~ dont like the look and if it scratches,well thats that !! Unless you PVD it again.Just not practical.

JJ Irani · 10 January 2009, 03:53 AM

Don't do it, TR!!

I'll be perfectly honest - that PVD colour looks like sh*t!!

You absolutely right, Sir!!!

toph · 10 January 2009, 07:22 AM

Definitly not TR- its great the way it is!!!

sub2004 · 10 January 2009, 07:52 AM

No TR, dont do this.

It will cheapen the watch.

Save up and hopefully they will introduce more pvd models soon.

jgk200 · 10 January 2009, 08:09 AM

TR... Don't do it man.... save up up for that 233 with me!!

dman · 10 January 2009, 04:13 PM

Most people that don't like PVD cases don't like Panerai, that is found on all the boards.

If they can DLC it, you will love it. The DLC is scratch proof and tougher than hell. plus it looks so killer in the metal.

Here it is on a 005, and I love this look and throw two up in the air to any who doesn't.

I keep coming back to this post... I love it! bada$$ pic's... plus love the doing 80 while taking a pic....

Trurolexer · 10 January 2009, 08:15 PM

Yes, look so perfect to me, Daren!!!

VazLube · 10 January 2009, 08:43 PM

Darren, that is really beaut! Can you tell me about DLC and how did you do your 005?

Trurolexer · 10 January 2009, 11:45 PM

How much you payed for that PVDing your 005, Daren?

dman · 11 January 2009, 11:14 AM

Cost was around $320 usd. The look is killer and like I said, the dlc is tough as nails.

The look is stealth and I love it.

GBJIV · 11 January 2009, 11:24 AM

Wow, looks great! Where do you get DLC work done?

Jack at IWW did that one. He takes about 2-3 months, but his work is stellar.

oyster21 · 12 January 2009, 12:37 AM

TR, just wanna share my personal experience here.
I have 111 DLC-ed. I love it, love it and LOVE it. However, I found it's not for my daily wear due to its unique color.
Please take that as your consideration when deciding to PVD your watch.

Another thing, with DLC or PVD PAM, I found it takes a bit effort to find the perfect strap combo :)

Other than that, PVD or not PVD, that's the question

Allow me to share several shots of my DLC-ed 111.

Eko...What A Watch!!!

BTW, that strap with PVD buckle look so Wonderful!!! Can you tell me what is that?

rpryan55 · 12 January 2009, 12:43 AM

Have to say that Daren's DLC'd Pam is da bomb. Very, very cool. TR - DLC that watch!

oyster21 · 12 January 2009, 12:42 PM

TR, thanks for the compliment.
I have Strap Culture on the first and second photo. Ted Su French ammo is on the third one.

Cheers,
Eko

JF23 · 12 January 2009, 12:56 PM

TR I voted yes, but only because you have a few other models to mix it up with. I don't think I would keep the DLC'd as my one and only PAM...

Oyster that third pic is AWESOME! Love the look of DLC and the contrast of a lighter strap.
