HI All-
Here is a simple pictural comparison between the Jacob caseback vs the caseback you get with DSN's 27 series.
First off,
Engravings: jacob has very nice and smooth engravings, while the dsn looks ok, perhaps it is etched?
caseback: i was told that jacob's blanks are from DSN's 24 subs. They are much thicker than what came with DSN 27.. The jacob is 5mm thick from the center, the DSN 27 cb is only 3.5mm. Also the jacob CB has a nice finish and nice tapered bezel, while the DSN 27 has a very flat bezel
Accuracy: we need to compare to a gen...i wont post since I don't have one, but you can find them on the web
Thanks!
hope this helps in your decision!
