Looks good. Another Breitling that I am going to have to add to the collection.

Great pics, R. What kind of lens are you using?

Thanks SSSurfer. Should I slap it to get it going? Or just wait for watchsmith come Monday?

My DSN 104 just stopped ticking. Any suggestions? Is this a problematic movement? Thanks in advance.

Just get it regulated by a rep friendly watchsmith.

Does the one Sillix carry have the updated datewheel like Josh and Andrew?

Angus lied, did not get the improved datefont and chrono is stuck. Eff! I am sure he ll sort it out, but such a hassle sending things back and forth.

I have a graphite one coming from Angus (Puretime). He confirmed that it was the one with the new dateweel. Good luck.

Talked to Angus, and he says that there is still a bit of waiting involved. I ended up getting the updated BCE in the interim.

I just hope it has the new an improved date wheel found in the BCE.

The deal is dead, but I was able to get my Longines and a Nikon D40 last week. The amount have already shown up in my live search account.

This took me a while to write, and I am using the discount to get Longines Master Collection watch. Thought I would give the community a way to enjoy a gen. 1.

Get a 010D in a PVD case. DSN's dial is really good, good PVD case, and he has the correct case back. I have thinking of this combo for a while now, and feel it might warrant the effort.

Your best bet is to source a movement from the bay, and everything else from DSN. His PVD is superior to what you can find on ebay because he bead blasts his cases before the PVD treatment.

The parts you are asking are correct. I suggest sending your watches to Jakub in Poland. He will do the swap, as well as get your crystal AR coated. However, AR coating is only necessary for Slevin and not for the GST. Most local watch shops can do the swap, but some may not be willing to work on a rep.

Thanks for the pics. How is the bracelet? Is there a spring mechanism? Any new improvements?

You should know the answer to that? We need your input.

Thanks a lot mjmurphy. The pictures helped a lot. The magnification looks pretty good. The font could be slightly bolder, but still pretty impressive. Thanks again.

This helps a lot.

I am on the brink of making my next DSN purchase. Can anyone share a good picture of the date font. I have seen a lot of gens and am concerned about the size, and the crispness of the dates. Thanks in advance. BTW I have done a search, and still need more.

Thanks for the pic Stormtrooper. How is the magnification? I agree that DSN's font has improved dramatically, however the magnification does not seem adequate. I know I have brought this to sssurfer, but hope you can give us your opinion.

With the exception of DSN's QC I am always skeptical of the date font. DSN never takes a good picture of the date font with magnification, this makes me a little worried. BTW your date font looks pretty good though.

I love it when Sssurfer replies. You do a great job of clearing things up, thank you sir.

That date looks pretty bad. What happened to the upgrade? Is that a magnification or date wheel problem. Either way I agree teh dial is very good, just poor date font.

Does anyone know if this will fit in a DSN PVD? My concern is that this PVD is really poorly done.
