232 cases

[pdnb]

It appears that the ultimate 232 is DSN's dial, hands with Cartel's case, caseback, crystal, and crown. Anyone have any pictures side by side of cartel's case vs DSN's? I looked at both of the sites side by side and I "think" I see a difference (cartel being more square), but I can't tell if i am letting my prior knowledge fool me. Basically I am debating if I should get the DSN out of the box or commission an "ultimate". I do see differences in the caseback though and the crown does look more straight.

Thanks, pdnb

I would simply buy the Cartel version, and then buy the dial and hads from DSN directly. I really don't understand how people can charge around $500 for completed watches as the watch from the cartel is around $220 and the Dial and Hands are $60 from DSN. So it's about $300 for a very accurate rep.

Milesd-

That sounds like sage advice, but I will need someone to do the switch for me. I agree $200 for the labor, does seem high.

Find another modder. I sent you a PM. If you are in the states, there is a modder that will do simple dial/hand swaps for cheap.

Can someone tell me if the DSN dial is brown or is it the base black. The gen is a tabocco brown.

Thank you in advance.
