pdnb Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 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.

milesd Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milesd Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheea Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 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. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
