Left - Ultimate PAM092 ARKTOS

It has
- AR coated sapphire crystal
- Correct datewheel
- Correct 6mm cyclop


Mod needed:
- Swap the caseback over from my PAM092-LITE as the caseback layout is more accurate except the missing serial number. lthough with serial number, the caseback layout is wrong on the ultimate arktos. With this done, I will have a "shadow" model with no serial number as it is usually used for phototaking for magazine but still sold by Panerai) PAM092
- Ziggy's or vac relume service

Right - PAM212 Flyback
It was in the watch sales section a while ago due to a crackline found on the see thru caseback crystal. Withdrawn from sale as I changed my mind and decide to use it as a daily beater or spare part as it comes with a high beat A7750.
