Sausage sandwich... PAM dial choices...

[jessemack]

First post here on this forum, so please be gentle...

Recently purchased a M2M sale of a mint PAM 005 from JJbliss, and it's pretty great. He made a few mods that helped me pull the trigger on the purchase even though I'm a noob here.

V1 H factory K series best case set & caseback
Big Matt C3 sapphire ultra clear optics w/ inside AR crystal
Genuine Roller Lever from Gen 111K
Polished ETA H3 cannon pinion & hour wheel
Noob best A6497 movement
V1 H factory C3 superlumed dial and hands (considered the best ever produced)
Noob V3 thinwall crown

As much as I like/love this watch, I really want to move towards a PAM 112 for the simple beauty and the sandwich dial. The sausage look of the 005 isn't doing it for me. I feel like I have a couple options to get a watch i'm absolutely in love with without emptying my bank account for a gen. My question to the experienced rep collectors is, should I...

A) Sell my awesome franken PAM005 and buy a PAM112 from a TD?
B) Just ask someone on this forum to do a dial swap for the PAM112 dial?
C) Something else I haven't thought of?

(It should be noted that I'm fine with keeping the closed caseback I have with this 005 even though it's not correct on a 112)

I'd just buy a 112. Nice to have an sandwich and a sausage dial in your collection.

The dial swap isn't really a good idea since 005 has secs and close cased back.

Personally, I would not change the one you purchased at all. I would keep it as is. The 112 does not have the small seconds, so I would say to take that into account as well vs. only considering the dial type.

Just buy a 112 and resell the watch you just purchased. Or if you like the small seconds at 9, the 111 is a great choice. The 005 you purchased despite the small tweaks that were made, is not much better than a Noob 111 V3. It is a great watch.

Looks like i'll be keeping an eye out for a 112 in the M2M sales. Thanks for the advice.

my vote is to get a 112 as well
