005 has a new coat

Waited long but was worth it.

OEM nylon? Is it too stiff to wear?

A bit stiff but imo along with the dive strap looks best on pvd.

Love it! But I'm biased...

Couldn't agree more, Nylon/Divestraps best combo with PVD.

JF23 thats a sweet looking strap on a great looking watch.

Ed I did try it on a brown leather strap and it does look good. I'll post some pics whenI change the strap.

Hi Ed,

I bought a 005 but always wanted a PVD. So decided to get it PVD. I think you can get a pam PVD for about $500.

Regards

Great looking watch.

Can you please PM me with who you used? I'm looking to PVD some items.

Thanks!

Thanks guys, I used a company in UK. I can tell you if you pm me, however I Think IWW would do the work for half the amount I paid. Also be aware once you get it PVD I dont think panerai will service the watch.

you dont need Panerai to service it anymore. most good watchmakers can do it easily. its a simple movement. but something to think about. i think its silly on Panerai's part... but part of the game i guess.

Agreed Ed. I thought about it for 5 min but decided I would enjoy the watch more this way.
