Well, I received my prototypes a couple days earlier than I thought I would.
I am very pleased, overly pleased about how they turned out! :D
What an awesome look! I did not know how it would turn out but OMG.. I'm happy I did this project.
The strap is a little bit nicer than I thought it would be and the AR Coating is not ridiculously blue. I am so happy about the AR Coating as it was the one area that I was worried about. Some of the Panerai reps have been coming with such an extreme amount of AR Coating that it is one of the biggest givaways.

Enjoy... I know I will.. especially the hunt for the perfect strap. :)

Greg,
The watches look great!!!!!!! I'm on the same hunt! I have never had a PVD finished watch before, or a watch with a white dial. I'm racking my brain (more than I should :wink: ) trying to figure out which color strap and stitching would look best. Cant wait to get the 113. Savage said he saw one at a GTG that was fire engine red, and he said it looked good. I just cant seem to wrap by brain around that one. Any suggestions? Anyone!?

I am not a fan of PVD, but they did turn out really well. Those who like PVD are sure to be very happy. Good work.

Greg, are the watches 2 different shades of white? The 114 looks a bit darker than the 113.

@midas

It's my lighting.. they are the same color..

I've been battling my lighting setup for a while. I am trying to find a balance where colors are not over saturated and also trying some other things...
I cant seem to get them the way I want them.

The more I look at the pix, the more I want the 114 to play babysitter to the 113. Already have a Gunny strap waiting for the 113.....itchy fingers.

Here's a suggestion for a strap choice: dark green to pick up the the lume dots but not be in-your-face. May sound odd, but I think it would work. A rich brown/chestnut would be gorgeous. .....just not black. If I were in the hunt, Greg, I'd pounce. They are simply stunning!

So I assume the bigger one must be the Fiddy??
