I will leave it and enjoy the watch if I were you. The existing dial looks like EL's which is the best IMHO. This old EL's dial was meant for PAM001 B series with L Swiss L but I think the previous owner has sent it off to turn it into PAM001A by further modding the dial with vintage lume and coverting L swiss L to T swiss T. There is alot of precise work involve and BTW, some gen PAM001A has unveven lume applied too. DSN's PAM001A dial is the next best option but the groove surrounding the numerals and indices are a turn off and also the Text font, size and position used on the dial are incorrect. It is especially obvious seen at T Swiss T Best route is to go for Pre-A 001, DSN's Pre-A 001 dial is quite good. But it will be better if you can get hold of FDG's version Pre-A 001 dial. Remember to get the correct caseback from DSN if you want to go this route as Pre-A 001 caseback is different from PAM001A/B. Good luck and have fun

Love the Ingeniuer so much that I got both the SS and Ti versions. Here's mine modded with Lello's DW

2 of my fav. Old school INGY still get alot of compliments.

Really nice. How about the movt? Gen?

Nothing beats a gen dial. Any pic of the movt? Here's mine (long gone) with extreme mods done. Kinda missed it after it is gone

You can requst for non AR.

I tried Takashi's (aka 2geeks) sapphire crystal for my Pre-As and am quite please with the result. Not forgetting to mention that his asking price is rather reasonable. Here's the pic ... For 44mm crystal, I think Takashi's crystal is recommended.

Hi Simon,I really enjoy wearing this watch.My friend who is a hard cored pam fan is speechless when I showed it to him.Your dial and hands are really that good

Upgraded with FGD's Pre-V hands One final upgrade with Jakobh's new caseback and I'm done. Special thanks to FGD for helping me out.

Well... of course

Very nice D. Mine is still waiting for its final round of mod with - FGD pre-V hands - Jakob's Pre-A CB ... yet to be installed. Here's a preview pic

Hi rolli, I didn't know that. Thought it was something manageable from the watchsmith. Thanks for the information You are good.

Hi there, Got the ultimate cartier lady santos for my wife. I will rate it 95 out of 100. My wife love it and best of all it comes with ETA automatic movt and no need battery like the quartz movt.

Another member you may want to check is kbiz. He got 2 lovely franken PAM88 and 89. I am sure you can find more useful advice from him. Please post a pic when the project is completed. Good luck
