Mrs. w0lf's PAM48

Hi Guys,

Just a super quick pictorial of a project I've been working on for over two years; in its current iteration, which you can see below - for about 19 months. My wife loved this model when I gave her an A21J cheapie that I found for $120 and put on a faux brown WACCEX gator strap almost three years ago smile.gif Between what you see in the pics and her original China-PAM48 there are about four 40mm builds of various calibers and about seven or eight watches sacrificed for parts. It went like this - PAM48 cheapie > EL PAM48 with mods > EL PAM49 with mods and now finally a franken MBK/MBW PAM48.

 

The reason it took so long was because it was always work in progress after I purchased the MBW PAM48K in 2009. All the while I was sourcing an OEM black dial and hands, which are insanely difficult to find BTW, I passed up five OEM white dials for a PAM49/51 and two anthracite dials for a PAM119/120. But I think I'm finally done and most importantly, she loves the result almost as much as the $120 one from 3 years ago thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

You can see by the swirls and marks on the case it's watch that's worn.
