Those pics are MUCH better. I'd say that's gen for sure!

The 24 is gen for sure. I need some better pics of the 27. Specifically the back near the lugs. Gen straps won't have any glue exposed. It is hard to tell, but it looks like I can see some glue. Also the impressions on the gen will look more shallow than the rep. The impressions on the 27 look a little deep.

The printing issue is unfortunate. Maybe it won't be so bad on the wrist. Anyone else have some pictures to share? Suspense is killing me.

Great question, but no. The dials are completely different. The seconds are at 3 on the 217 dial. However, if you can source a 217 dial you are in business, assuming you don't care about having a non-destro movement.

Hey guys, I still have plenty of SD Pre-V Dial Interest, but no tracking number.  Did anyone get their dials yet that can share some pics?

Yikes, that is a rep dial, yes. But doesn't appear to be a good one.

Sorry to hear about this. Your quickest option is to buy an 005 and part it out.

I'm a big fan of the speed master reduced. It's a great bargain! I've considered it a few times. My first gen purchase will likely be an A series Panerai.

The 7753 is a nice movement and like Projectologist says, the gens wobble too. Rest at ease sir. Maybe you will grow to appreciate it. I have a gen 2892 in my 27A and I can say I actually miss the wobble.

SD, great news that you are shipping. Can you return my PM?

I've got it!  You could engrave my H Factory Ti case for a 036B build!

I'm not familiar with the lug shape on the 40mm case, but the Cyclops looks gen to me.

Alright Roli, you've got me for a 201A, 203A, 207a, 001A t dial, and a 036 T dial

Sweet lord what will this cost me!?? I should just buy a Gen;)

Guys, I also paid quite a long time ago and have received a pm last week that he was almost ready to ship. I have Pm'd back a couple of times with no response. Hope to receive something soon...

Great news that he will be shipping soon!

I say this is a decent case for a reshape! But I have gotten tomatoes thrown at me for speaking well of DSN, so what do I know?

Is it still happening?

I hope so! I paid a long time ago:) There have been no posts and no responses to my PM for over a month. SD has gone deep;) hopefully he comes up soon for air with some updates

I can't get a good picture of my results right now, but the grit is so fine that it doesn't produce the characteristic lines form normal brushing.  The other option is to get a bead blasting kit from amazon.com 

use 800 up to 1200 fine sand paper.

This is what I used on to put a fine satin finish on my CG pins.

YES!!! I kept meaning to ask you if you'd venture into Pre-V engravings.  I can't wait. 

Rolli, that DSN dial looks pretty damn accurate.  What is your take on it?

I would love to see a Gen Pre-V become a rep franken;)

I think the DSN crown is accurate dimensions. 

Send a pic of the face and lugs. We will be able to tell, usually. DSN will sell you a new crown for 20

Enjoy

Alright my friend, time for the monthly update. Any new pics to share?

Get on homageforum, there are a bunch of Swedish modders and watch smiths on there! 

I love Sweden by the way!  My favorite phrase when I visit: "en ol, tack" sometimes "tva ol"

also on my dial project list

You just made my day and cost me money
