Eddie Lee PAM029 case? Help needed

[dadog13]

I bought recently this case which was supposed to be an Eddie Lee case for the PAM029 ETA2893-2.

Once I got it, I compared it to my PAM029 and it seems that there are some differences which makes me doubt that this is actually an EL PAM029 case able to host a ETA2893-2 movement (what was advertised by the seller) or maybe there was different batches of the case? Bezel numbers seem to be of different size and differebt thickness..

Case which I got :

Compared to my EL PAM029 with 2893-2
Upper case is the one I got, lower one is mine EL :

My EL is on the right :

Can you help me to define what kind of case is this? I need some experts to give me their opinion..

Oh!

Eddie Lee was one of the "legendary" dealers back in the 200X, stopped dealing in 2005 (simething like that) and he was a superduper guy...different type of dealer than what we are used these days and a genuine person which you could really appreciate while having a conversation with him..

...so, at that time there was this superreplica, 029 with real ETA2893-2 movement which was carried by the dealers and appreciated among fellow collectors. I'd say one of the first supereps toghether with the 027/028 with the eta2892a2 soprod 9040 mvt's. Legendary reps these days long time not available anymore. From time to time they pop out on the fs subforum but they tend to be pricey..but well worth!

These cases were treated as piece of art and since I am not that present on the forum last years was supposed to be the best repluca case for this model. I am not sure if anything which came at a later date managed to be better in terms of 1:1 for the PAM029A..
