Brushed SS 44mm PAM case for auto movement.

[Drulee]

I've just purchased another PAM, an 086 this time, so I did a little research on the gen version. Well it turns out that the gen is actually cased in brushed stainless steel, instead of titanium like the DSN version I bought.

Don't get me wrong, I prefer it in titanium, but luckily this purchase included a second separate 086 dial and I happen to have a DSN A7750, crown and a set of silver hands sitting around. So all I am missing is the case and movement ring.

So, besides Jackson Tse, who would you suggest I get a brushed SS case from? Or how much effort would it take to turn a shiny PVD case into brushed stainless steel?

Also, is there a major difference between a 6497 case and an automatic one, or is it just a question of sourcing a movement ring and case back that will allow extra space for the rotor?

If you want the best, I would use an Ultimate 104 for your project. You would lhave to brush the case but that is not a big deal. You get the bold font with the nice xstal with good magnification. Below are pics of my 086 Franken (gen dial/hands/crown) based on an Ultimate 104. If you need any help with the brushing of the case, let me know.

Any excuse to show off your franken, eh

I forget, where did you get that strap, I've been searching for one like it for ages.

LOL, I've not posted this one over here so I thought I'd give the RWG crew a peek.

I bought the strap from Risti about 6 months ago but I can't remember who listed it. It was one of the regulars there, I remember the add stating it was one of a kind and was made of Ostrich. I have been watching for something similar to pop up again but no luck

The brushing on your case looks good Sarge

Sound advice on the Ultimate 104 case as the base Drulee
