pdnb Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 since I have never seen a brown dial, i'm trying to get a feel how a brown dial looks. The only way to tell (IMO) is if is side by side with a known dial color (black). a lot of the times you can't even tell in pictures and wondering how subtle or apparent the brown colors tend to be. My motivation for my question is that I am looking at Titanium cases, which most have brown dials. I am wondering if I could ask DSN to franken a black dial with a Ti case (I know there are some GEN combos with Ti and Blk combos). Thanks!

Drulee Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 You don't have to make a "fantasy" model (Franken means that the watch contains genuine parts), the 177H is a titanium cased black dial watch. Tobacco (brown) dials go great with titanium cases, you really have to have one in hand to appreciate the look, though. Plus the tobacco/titanium combo can limit your strap selection - so I'd say buy both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Im aware of the 177, im really debating between 27b or 57. I think I want a 27/28b dial in Ti case. I think I may want a black dial for more wearing versatility... and if I drop the money for that... i'm not getting another pam Now what do you think? get a straight up 57, 27, or 28?

pdnb Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Thanks Storm Trooper! yes I do get the jist. I like it. I guess I am going to have to wait to see the 57 (hasn't been released yet) before I jump on a 27. pdnb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Here's a nice tobacco dial (very little crystal reflection to get in the way) for you from my collection.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterBL Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 i prefer the black i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 The DSN 57 hasn't been released yet, but I believe it is due to be out in a couple of weeks. In the mean time here are some pics of a nice tobacco/ti combo. Sure it's only an homage, but I still love that deep rich brown colour of the tobacco dial. As for the 57, 27, or 28 question - I am obviously biased in that area I'm waiting for the 57 to be released, it may be my first non "seconds at 9" PAM. NOTE: The reflection in the crystal of first picture is the top of an unfinished light box, sorry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
