I've just purchased another PAM, an 086 this time, so I did a little research on the gen version. Well it turns out that the gen is actually cased in brushed stainless steel, instead of titanium like the DSN version I bought.
Don't get me wrong, I prefer it in titanium, but luckily this purchase included a second separate 086 dial and I happen to have a DSN A7750, crown and a set of silver hands sitting around. So all I am missing is the case and movement ring.
So, besides Jackson Tse, who would you suggest I get a brushed SS case from? Or how much effort would it take to turn a shiny PVD case into brushed stainless steel?
Also, is there a major difference between a 6497 case and an automatic one, or is it just a question of sourcing a movement ring and case back that will allow extra space for the rotor?
