Text color on a PAM 111h

[golgi]

Is the text on the dial supposed to be BRIGHT white? I've looked at some gen photos by googling it, but the lighting varies soooo much that it's impossible to tell which witch is which. I have a 111h that I got from Trevor, and it is friggin' amazing. I bought some aftermarket cg screws and strap screws and it makes it look authentic. My only question is how white should the print on the dial be? I know that is EXTREMELY subjective, but should it be like a ivory or an antique white, or just WHITE!?

I found an aftermarket dial on eBay the other day, and I was thinking of making a swap and having my watchsmith do the cannon pinion at the same time, but the dial is way off on the "Swiss ....... Made" spacing. I asked for a lume shot and never got one.

Confirmed... I looked at the Gen last week. It is an off white/Ivory sort of color. It is not the bright white that you see in the lower end reps

Are you talking about the "LUMINOR PANERAI" text, or the lumed numerals and ticks?

Is the crown guard on the polished model polished or Brushed? On the gen.
