Hey all, just wanted to share my light mod job on my PAM 309. I posted this in the eyecandy/wristshot forum but thought I'd also post here.

Not being a super rep, I felt ok molesting it a bit. Used Watchlume stealth lume, matte spray across the dial, hands, and dial ring. I also replaced the winding pinion with an eta as the original didn't release quite right. It would wind as I screwed the crown in and replacement fixed the issue. Strap is a Gunny NATO. Feedback/comments welcome!

Looks good -- the stealth lume blends the dial with the titanium very well. I know this a "low grade rep," but I still like mine haha

Since it is not a good replica you have got a nice look with the painted dial and the stealth lume. Very nice
I honesly don't like Nato on a Radiomir
Congrats

Thanks guys, my goal was to try to match the Ti case and it turned out ok. I mixed the stealth with about 25% C3 to lighten it a touch.
I agree on the NATO a bit on the Rad, especially this one. It's a busy watch to begin with and this doesn't help. The color and pliable nature of the strap makes it acceptable but I'll be going back to my green Kostas. I've tried 26mm nylon and it just doesn't work aesthetically and stresses the lug bars/screws beyond what they can handle - too stiff
