PVD PAM....fully modded

[Samurai]

Got bowled over by this beauty by Vac:

It comes with the following mods:

PVD case

Chieftang double AR sapphire

Swiss ETA 6497-1 hamilton movement

Swiss ETA H-3 flat top polished cannon pinion / hour wheel

Display caseback

Custom painted dial and relumed with tritec orange

I have already ordered this baby & it will be with me in about 6 weeks as the crystal is going to Chief for AR.

Now here is my dilemma.......

Should I go for the Unbranded one as above.....or should I change the dial to 111h? Here is the Pic of 111h dial that Vac has:

The undecorated swiss movement Vac intends to use (if I go for it)is:

I have spoken to Vac and here are the options that I have (all other mods will remain the same in both the watches):

A. go for the unbranded dial with swiss undecorated movement or

B go for the 111h dial with asian decorated movement.

Please help.......

I think if the dial were a Base, I'd say unbranded. Something about the sub seconds that kind of throws it off balance without the dial script (to me)...

I agree

The cheap PVD makes it look rather...cheap.

Its a stunning watch nontheless, but the cheap pvd brings it down a lot imo

I like option 'A', that undecorated movement is really slick.

I like the Hamilton movement. I wonder where he finds those? I think that is cool in an unbranded homage. Dial texture is nice and lume color is cool.
