The PAM 569 submersible has come to be my favorite pam sub, for its unique combo of reverse hobnail dial, creamy-tan lume indices and surprising wearability (despite a 47mm behemoth, wears easy with its light titanium case and destro pamguard that doesn't bump into wrist). The reps of this model are fantastic, have been argued to be super-rep..however the mustard-yellow pearl put my OCD on red-alert...so I sent mine to Strodda (who'd done incredible work for me in past on several PAMs and rollies) and asked him to fix the pearl, match to dial indices...and was thrilled w/result:
With more and more wrist time my OCD eyes turned to hands..and their pale yellow color. So.. in referencing photos of gens, noticed a color range on hands from creamy yellow to the tan that same as indices (I realize likely result of lume aging/patina)...so sent back down to Strodda asking him to match hands to indices:
I then came upon this photo of Gen 569 (arghh), with its creamy yellow lume hands!...
and thinking may prefer...so thinking to send back to Strodda to match this color...curious of members who have seen (or haven't) Gen 569s and if they agree with this final mod? Strodda weighed in yesterday in favor of doing the match (many times in past he's talked me out of contemplated mods/business for himself for cosmetic/practical reasons...can't say enough good things about Strodda's work and integrity)
thanks/cheers
