I still hanker for a PVD Luminor but have never been sure which looks better, the painted dial of the zero Logo or the 112 with the sandwich dial.

Would it be wrong, stupid even, to PVD a Ti Case with a painted brown dial?

...the best choice IMHO.
You have the painted dial and the lack of the logo.

sandwich dial dlc all the way. cleaner look

DO NOT DLC A TI PAM WITH TOBACCO DIAL...sorry about the caps.

The brown dial won't look as good with the black, and the ti won't look as good in black, I don't think.

Go with the zero. Painted dial, and logo. Sweeettt...

The actual coating was fine.

It was my experience that after we coated a Ti Submersible for a customer some years ago we had to have a couple of parts re-coated.

The chemical used by the vendor at that time to strip the old coating had the effect of actually etching away some of the Titanium and altering the dimensions of the case parts. We could not reassemble the watch because the parts no longer fitted together properly.

I had to buy a replacement watch for the customer out of my pocket as the vendor is not liable for this sort of FUBAR. Very expensive lesson and one that I'll not have to learn again.

We have coated and stripped other Ti watch parts including Seiko and Kobold models with no problems.

It is my uneducated guess that perhaps Panerai's Titanium is somehow different from the Ti used by other manufacturers.
