DSN 320 $ Perfect Clones 428 $ Which one is the best ?? thank you all for your help! I just faced the same decision and chose DSN, I just couldn't justify the $140 difference (PC's price is without shipping I think). Plus DSN has actually made improvements to his 088 which aren't pictured on his site, so you may want to ask for updated photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanya Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Best is a Gen 2nd Best is the Kbiz Franken Ulti 088 3rd best is the ulti 088 Get an Ultimate. i had mine lumed by Vac to OEM specs and it is just amazing. Needs the OEM Crown, tube and CG mod to put it in KBiz's shadow but the Ultimate 088 is the way to go. KBiz and I have both had issues with the Davidson crystals. Not sure if it is true for all of his crystals but Davidson uses a sapphire -plastic sammich crystal for his automatics. Not only is the font way off but you can not have them AR treated is it is a severe pain in the ass to do so. The Ultimate crystal (and according to Kbiz the new Ulti 088 specifically) is the best aftermarket Panerai crystal ever made, better than the $150 wholesalejewelers crystal on ebay. In any event, good luck and have some fun with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
