Basically I'm having southy do me a custom dial with my father's name and year of birth on it (a 203A dial to be exact) and I don't know what to do when it comes to casing that dial up. As it's a homage, I'm not really looking for it to be correct as per gen in any way, I'm even considering putting a display caseback on it but can anyone tell me where should I go for a PVD case plus movement and all? Basically a watch without the dial is what I'm after. I'm already looking at about 160 for the dial only so I'm not really keen on spending 300 bucks on a full freaking watch. Any of the pam nuts care the chime on and have a say? I'm not even that sure if I want a PVD case, I'm open to any suggestions!

For 300 get a getat watch. If display back do something cool like a pvd mvt. That way you get a watch with sapphire and all to have to do is transpliant the dial. Then do a strap and buckle an your set!

I absolutely HATE the shiny PVD of normal rep cases. If it were me, DSN would be the only option.

Nah, if I'm going with getat it will definitely be either polished or Ti case.

How much do you guys reckon DSN will charge for a full watch minus the dial? 50 bucks less I suppose?

DSN PVD is the best out of the box option, over time his PVD will wear like a gen's.
