Zero

Not sure if you guy's followed my other PVD/DLC thread, but phase #1 is complete... Was thinking 112, but started looking a touch plain to me.

Already have a sammy dial, so decided to take a drink of mfer's painted dial KOOL-AID and see just what's so special about the paint...I think I found the perfect watch for PVD. And I'm loving that LOGO baby!!!

I traded out a Rolex (following in the footsteps of TR & TswaneNoRolexie) that was getting Zero usage ...and voila.

Snapped a few side by sides with the 111 to show the comparison between painted dial vs. sandwich dial.

Last pic shows a LUME comparo as well.

Thanks Heru...

I was never really a logo fan, until I saw it "in the metal"

Really enjoying it!

Can't wait until it looks like this though...

TswaneNoRolexie .............

Great choice on the 000 forn the "Panerai black conversion" The 000/005 with the painted dials ideally suited to PVD/DLC

Nice shots of the painted vs the recessed/sandwich dial.
