Hmm...

Your easiest bet is to buy a PAM 92 Arktos - Ultimate edition. Great out of the box lume, great cyclops with accurate datewheel font, AR coating on the crystal. Drawback -- big, heavy as a rock, tinny bezel, also has the notoriously underserviced Asian 7750 as its heart.

Another option is to buy the PAM 104 or PAM 48/49 and mod the hell out of it. That means new crown, cannon pin fix, re-lume, AR on the crystal, and Lello 7750 datewheel. That's going to cost you, minimal, twice to three times the cost of the watch itself. Prepare to wait weeks to months for your dreamwatch to be "finalized."

Finally, there are the Daylight Luminor chronographs. You can opt for the unreliable Asian 7750 versions of the PAM 196 or PAM 188. The big, big drawbacks with those particular reps is the "rep gimme" of the incredibly recessed datewheel. The other option is to buy the ETA 7753 versions that looks a lot closer to the real McCoys, but those will cost you 2 1/2 times the cost of the Asian 7750 versions.

Hope this helps.
