SSurfer - it's slightly loose when closed, of course. Nothing unbearable, mind you. I understand and appreciate your point, MK08, but we're not talking about legitimate trade here, so expectations should be adjusted IMHO. However, can't blame you for a moment for your decision and I do see the other side of the argument.

Bottom line - I'm very satisfited with my DSN watches and would buy from him again. Those mods alone would have put the watch at least $100 over the price he asked. The lume on the 112H is fantastic, rivaling my modded lume with one of our top modders here, and I prefer the "L Swiss Made L" on the bottom to anything else available - a pet peeve of mine. The 217 is very nice--better than the 127 as the font colour is better. Thin, I know, but I prefer it over the gen.

Vic, sounds like a watchsmith would be a good bet. Just the return shipping alone will cost you minimum $30 without tracking, and about $60 with. Let me know what happens with the fix

I love living in Spain, sure we have anti smoking laws, we just don't obey them, sure we have wear a crash helmet laws, we just don't obey them......it's about personal choice here and real freedom and a joy of living.......crime rate is low and more importtantly aggravated crime is low, stuff gets nicked, neighbours fight, but old ladies aren't knocked over the head and raped for their pension money and no one takes a gun to school. The girls look great, the beer's cold and the sun shines all day.....perhaps that has something to do with it?

Emmzy, with all due respect, dear fellow, you forgot the most important part of Spanish living: SIESTA. Woohoo!

Gorgeous child. She should model for Panerai :-)

Funny, but any of us Panerai folks probably think it doesn't look too big on her at all. I think it looks cool. SSurfer - I'm generally not a gold guy, but that 147 is HIGH up on my list. Agreed - one of the finest looking pieces around. Wear it well!

DSN 112H. Loving it :-)

Hi Vic,

Man, so sorry to hear you're having more problems with your watches :-(

Re your 112H. I also received one from DSN, and I'm very pleased with mine. I have the same issues with mine. CG screw is certainly not perfect and the words "Luminor" look like they may be a small percentage of a percent rotated counterclockwise (is that what you were referring to?). May even be an optical illusion in my case. These issues don't bother me. Not expecting perfection and overall I'm very pleased with it so far. The previous one came with a stripped lug, which for me was a show stopper. He gave me an exchange without any trouble.

Re your 127, as you know I also have the 127 and 217. First of all the lever is loose on my 217, so that's probably a common issue with his Fiddies. As regards the crown, did you try to twist it counter clockwise a few turns before pulling it out 2 clicks? I find that this often is necessary on most of my watches. If that doesn't work then it looks like you'll need to return it for an exchange. I'm hoping the CCW turn will solve your problem! Sometimes I fiddle for a moment and it just pops out.

Re straps, just send him an email and he'll probably straighten it out for you. Let me know what happens, V. Good luck!

Reviving a dead thread with a cool episode on Human Weapon (History Channel):

Wasn't there, but I love that Panny. What's the story behind it?

Yep, and worth every PPV penny. What a fight! What a fighter!

Enjoyed it Vic. Nice to meet you, Ma'am.

The TT Navitimers seem to get the accolades around here...

Not sure if it's an 06 or 07, but either way, Trusty's 7753 Sant0s chrono gets my solid vote (after which it's the SO SF)

Those were the only US $ bills I had left

I posted a pic with 10k in Euros about a year ago

I was going to make the comment as well, but given the arsenal pictured...

Repaustria, did you use the Hubble Telescope to take that picture? Holy Macro, Batman! Nice work on the dial

Please.... make it stop!

Is the bezel loose on yours?

Bump for a spectacular post. Also - thanks Pug for your fitting instructions. I'm definitely going with a black one for my 16610.

Some of the people here are smarter than should be legal. Great international hangout. Next feature should be video chat

Can't wait to see the wrist shots. Not a huge IWC fan, but I'm getting there...

Happy birthday Ken - may your gift be the gift of health! Get well soon!

Very nice, and interesting background (both photo and history ;-)

I have that kershaw

Me too. The leak is a great knife.

I have the MBW AP ROJ. Like it, but I think the PP would be better if you had to choose just one.

Look, in my defense I have arthritis, so hard to type full names. That WM is nothing short of stunning.

BF - what's a WM Hommage?

I think the fonts seem to ever-so-slightly thick on the rep. Also the top "Cart" is too long. Use as a reference the tick marks. On the gen, the C starts in the vertical plan of the top of the big tick mark, and ends in the vertical plane of the big tick mark to the right. To my eye, the rep extends slightly beyond.
