I finally found a rep donor for the dial, movement and caseback. The final ingredient, a gen crown, should arrive sometime next week. T's 48 was ordered as back up. The pic is a little toward the blue side as I shot in the shade. The gen case is more of a neutral, dark grey graphite. It's not nearly as black looking as the current PVD reps I've come across.

Very nice mate!
...Loved the combo there, and even being "too black" the rep is still awesome too :D
Wanna see this GEN case on the finished project when it´s done, can´t wait for the pics!

Merry Xmas,
Spirit.

Here's the same case in different light... closer to how it normally looks.

I believe he won an eBay auction for a bunch of different gen PAM parts.

I can't wait to see this project completed, Robert!

May I ask where you got the case from?

Hooligan is right. What actually happened is I saw a gen 233 case set on eBay and didn't wait for the auction to end... the "buy it now" price was VERY reasonable. Pics were good enough to verify that it was gen. I contacted the seller to see if he had any other PAM goodies. He did but hadn't listed any of it. I made an offer on all of it, got it and some of it I'm keeping and the rest will be FS and trade.

Stay tuned!
