Best PAM292/PVD radiomir case?

[Acolyte57]

I've got this idea in my head to have a Phantom style radiomir watch built - ie black lume, black hands, black dial. I saw a custom phantom in a luminor case on the WatchUSeek forum that absolutely blew my mind, but since I already have a few luminor case watches I wanted something else. A black radiomir would definitely fit that bill.

But problem is, I need to get my hands on a PVD radiomir case first. I can't seem to find those in the wild, so the next best option is using a replica watch and modifying it. I've used several replica forums to find different PAM292 style replica's but now I'm lost. There's several out there, but I have no indication of the quality of the case. Does it look matte or polished, is the PVD layer thick enough to withstand a few scratches, what is the buildquality of the case, is the sapphire real, etc... Could you guys who have ordered a PAM292 replica so far help me out? I'm not that interested in dial or lume quality, as that would all be switched out anyway. It's the case that needs to be topnotch.

These are the reps I've found so far, but I'm open to any other suggestions!
