Congrats mate - looks great but I'd still have our 233 over this any day !! There's no such thing as just one Panerai though Enjoy FGD

Loving that PVD alot Lanikai!! I Just had to post this superb gen image so you can compare the PVD and see the 2 distinctly different dials that were produced. FGD

Colour and texture looks really nice OP....some one is going to be happy FGD

$80,000 looking watch dude !! Love it when you keep showing such great photos - the PVD picks up the bluish tint like real Pre-V PVD !! Cheers FGD

The best of the best ....amazing parts and a superb finish T - congratulations to you and the owner !! FGD

Looks excellent Siesta - totally top class build. That dial looks very accurate for an A/B T-dial - one of the better dials for sure! Cheers FGD

One of the beauties of PVD is the chameleon like character in different lighting - I couldn't say for sure what the original colour was back in 93-95 but there's a wealth of different shades and textures on the gen images I have seen. I suppose it's down to a number of factors and each batch of production could be different from the last - in true Panerai style. I have Rolli's and Rob's PVD and love them both - Avitt's new shade shown above just adds another variety to the collection and looks damn close to a the gunmetal shade photos I have loads of In some Pre-A it also looks a purplish/blue colour - so there's another colour for consideration!!! Cheers Simon

A vintage boomerang no less !! Looks awesome and those hands have reminded me !! Enjoy that P FGD

TOTALLY SWEET!!! Great result!! FGD

Avitt that looks REALLY GOOD - the colour looks perfect in comparison to that gen 203/A photo!!! Great work mate FGD

Giggedy.

Buy it - keep it Get a new ETA , 040 Dial , Jakob caseback and you can swap and change the combo when ever you want - still retaining the original 116 Just my 2p FGD

That's just incredible - one of the best ever built for sure !!! Great work L and Z - top drawer no doubt!! Cheers FGD

Looks superb Avitt - I actually like the one on the right for that gen like gunmetal shade Cheers FGD

Nice one Richard - any plans for aftermarket PVD for this one? Cheers FGD

Great work very ingenious! FGD

Yeah great review - really enjoyed reading it ......and the watch is just fantastic!! Cheers FGD

The best example I've seen - superb !! Cheers FGD

C3 - always. Hopefully the Z-Man will confirm himself -but I know he's handled a lot of gen fiddy dials and no-one knows lume better. FGD

Nice review of a nice- always appreciate this sort of in depth comparison I certainly swear by LH CG for Pre-V models Cheers FGD

Looks great - glad you got it completed I'm the same - like swapping 002's and 009's about - when the Pre-A 001 dials are done I'll do the same with 001's and 004's!! Enjoy FGD

Nice - but still looks a bit "reppy" to me for $300 I'd be hard pushed to spend that on a "genuine" desk clock Cheers FGD
