Here is my 111h I received from vac about 2 weeks ago. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with, communication was so quick – Usually (if he wasn’t asleep because of the time difference)he would reply to my emails in minutes! I had the watch within 4 weeks of ordering it to the UK.
As for the watch, WOW. I love it, before I found RWI I had never even heard of panerai, Now It is my favourite watch for sure, I always used to think that the first gen I will buy would be a breitling, not anymore. I love the minimalistic look of the pams, the basic look about them is fantastic and so stylish. As for the famous lume – it certainly does not disappoint on my watch, if I just go outside for a few moments in the sunlight, when I come back in its glowing. I can easily make out the time all night from it. I asked vac to remove the rep AR due to the bluish tint it gives off and an easy tell its a replica, I could have had chief do the AR but for the extra money (already spent a fair bit) and extra time it would have taken I decided not to bother.
The strap is the ‘pull brown’ from tootall. Again a pleasure to deal with, and I would highly recommend him. The strap is lovely and finishes the watch off nicely.
Heres the pics, the quality isn’t great. It’s because I took them this evening when the light was starting to go. Anyway I hope you enjoy them, let me know what ya think.

P.s. I just realised why they all look tinted blue - I took them in my conservatory that has tinted blue glass! Sorry, I wont do that again, looks rubbish.
