R0NiN Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 So I was just browsing around one of our 'collectors' sites and I came across this watch: http://www.watcheden.com/panerai-luminor-marina-unitas-6497-movement-pvd-case-with-rubber-strap-ar-coating-i-17834-p-1.html It appears to be a PAM 111 H. I figured out the H part based on images from their sister site here: http://www.idolreplicas.com/panerai-luminor-marina-militare-unitas-6497-movement-pvd-case-with-black-dial-rubber-strap-replica-watch--35346.html Looking around I have found that people do aftermarket PVD or 'DLC' on PAMs, and I found a 111 E that was that way: http://www.watchuwant.com/watches/panerai-pam-111-e-luminor-marina-44mm-aftermarket-dlc-coated-black-stainless-steel The 111 H looks pretty accurate to me, I think its got a sandwich dial (again pics). The case markings seem correct for a 111 (OP 6567, numbered out of 2000, correct movement markings for H series) based on these references: Gen 111 H for sale (movement view in caseback looks same, as does OP number, etc.): http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.php?t=204564 Info on 111 H number in series: http://www.paneraisource.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=463 What do y'all think? I just thought it was an interesting conversation to have...cheers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I would go for a normal 111 or 112 and go for a after market DLC coating. I just like the color and specs (stronger against scratches) of DLC a LOT better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
