PAM advice

[bb_yosh]

Hi, my apologies if this isn't the right place to be asking but I am generally overwhelmed by the selection of PAM available, and would like some guidance.

I'm looking for a black PAM that is either ceramic, carbotech or DLC coated. I prefer cases with a crown guard, and I would also really like an open back case. I don't mind if the movement isn't very close to original (the open back is mostly for my own curiosity).

Models I've been looking at include the 661, 386, and I do like the 505 despite the lack of crown guard.

What models would you guys recommend along these lines? Thanks in advance

Buy a 438 and an asso strap and then you also have the 441. The 661 is nice too though.

Your wrist size will also help you choose. A black one looks smaller than a stainless in case you worry about a size.
Since you like crownguard, you can check fiddys' case (pam 127) instead of modern luminors.
It looks ligther, more sleek and interesting.
