PAM case back missing letter "I"

I would have a word with the dealer that you got it from...he should be able to source a new one free of charge if they are a reputable dealer on RWI. If not, keep an eye out on the 'rep sales' section for a case back. If there is a space between the O and C...you could get a trophy store to do it i guess.

It's not from one of the experts on here. I thought about taking it to get it engraved, but I don't want some bonehead who is not used to watches to make an irreversible mistake. Since nobody is making the 028's any longer, I figured getting a case back will be tough. I want to send it out for new PVD, but don't want to do it until the problem is fixed.

Can you post the photo ?
Also, is it definitely the caseback and not the rotor that's missing letter "I" ?
If you open your watch (assuming it's the 28A with ETA 2892-A2 mov't) you'll notice that rotor is missing letter "I" as well in "OFFICiNE", and is engraved as "OFFICNE".

Yep, it's definitely the caseback. Luckily there is space bewtween the "F" and the "C." It's like it was skipped on purpose. Very odd. I'll try to post a photo tonight when I get home from the office. I found a local jeweler who is willing to do it. I took a close look at the other engraving and I really don't think it should be that difficult to copy.
Other than that and the need for a real PVD job and re-lume, the watch is great.
