Sulone, There was a Best Pam36 a couple weeks ago on the board that summed it up pretty well. You have to pick you base model and mod accordingly to get the best result. The DSN 36 dial though has really handcuffed me in terms of modding options because you end up wondering how to mod the entire base of the (purple) dial. Unfortunately I am considering abandoning the 36 and asking DSN to send me another dial...but this post is about your 36 project and not my issues...ha. If I was doing the 36 over again I'd go with Josh's (personally dont mind a larger crown) and get a modder to artistically fix the L Swiss L to T Swiss T. And then relume the dial to their best T lume look to get the contrast between dial and hand lume. Personally, I would rank the correct lume and dial combo ahead of the case/crystal (DSN's are really good)...I also think this avenue will get a decent 36 on your wrist with the least modding expenses, but maybe someone else has a thought....

Sulone, I appreciate everything about my DSN 36, including David's service. But as an owner I'd have to encourage you to pursue your 36 project without his dial. It does have a purple tint to it, more so under certain lightings. The The Zigmeister fix above would be my way to go if I had to do it a second time. David also makes a great attempt to replicate the 'T' lume and its hypothetical aging. That effort kind sort of falls short as well. After seeing a recent post with the L to T dial fix, I think you could take that one step further and see if a modder could do an antiqued Tritium lume for a darn close 36. Again, I'll reiterate my support for David and what he contributes to our hobby (I'll be buying from him again). Its just that there's superior versions and avenues at the moment.

I really enjoy my 036 from Davidsen but the purple tint to the dial is starting to get to me. Everything has been perfect for the past 6 months in terms of functioning, but the latest modded 036 pictures have been causing some buyers remorse. Chalk it up to noob error, being my 2nd rep. Has anyone addressed this issue or have suggestions to fix?
