I got into PAMs with the 177 and after owning around 6 of them, I finally gave up as they were just trash. I wanted a closed back, but a black dial so the PAM040 is the only way to go. Now that FGD has made Marina dials for Pre-A, I finally have my perfect titanium Marina rep!
Big thanks to Tourby for making his crowns, Jakob for reading my harassing PMs about a custom serial number on titanium, FGD for his AMAZING dials! Without these guys, these reps wouldn't be nearly as accurate. And finally to speedy for striping the AR and assembling the watch!

I always forget to clean up the watch before I take my photos. There was just too much dust to remove in PS so the pics are a little dusty. I'm going to pick up a can of compress air for next time
Almost forgot the lume shot:
Without the AR and at the angle I took these photos, it's hard to make out the dial. It's really BLACK. I did some minor photoshop to pop the dial a bit just so you could get an idea.
