When I began shopping for my first Panerai, I began to communicate with DSN. aaand thats where he lost my business. DSNs replys left me wanting in multiple ways, he took his time, and generally speaking I found him to be less helpful then I needed him to be for me to send him $400 of my hard earned money.
I went with Joshua. I realized with that order, that I was no longer going to shop other dealers anymore, there was no point. I realize the lume is poor and the cannon pin is not correct, as well as the lever being a bit thin, but i'd rather mod it then deal with someone that I cannot effectively communicate with. And i'm satisfied enough that modding is not in the near future beyond the strapculture strap on it currently.
My watch is beautiful and solid. Joshua was helpful as always. The 177H I received? Well.. have a look-
