This is mine one that I finished the other day.

Since I didn’t know much about the Luminor 5218 I made a mistake when I ordered a display caseback from Kp0y. The reason why I wanted to have it was the embedded PAM movement
Image
Image
In the meantime I ordered the appropriate caseback from Kp0y which should arrive in the next days.
Image
Now I hope everything should be as it should be.
Maybe I‘ll change the movement into a UNITAS 6497 and then I can use the already embedded one in one of the upcoming builds… ImageImage
Any recommendations from your end?

Nice. The photos really show the subtle comparison. I prefer a shiny finish.
