lhooq Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 A quick side-by-side of one of my favorite reps and its source material: Obviously this is the angle most favorable to the DSN. Look at the watch from its side or from behind and the differences would become much clearer i.e. thicker bezel on the rep and a single-piece caseback. Still, I think it's commendable how many styling cues Davidsen was able to replicate. Just be sure to ask him if he's got a rounded crown in stock!

PeteM Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Very nice and unusuall. What size are these watches? Thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted December 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 First, let me kick myself for not even mentioning "Fifty Fathoms" in either the title or the original post. The Davidsen has a bezel that's 42mm in diameter; the genuine, big, Fifty Fathoms models ranged from just over 41mm to just over 42mm. There's 22mm between the rep's lugs. The genuine items were either 20mm or 22mm. This one's a 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 You need to put your watch in the grinder to match that GEN vintage look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krpster Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 This DSN rep is not really accurate but I still love the look of it... +1 I really love the style of this piece even though the replication is pretty far from accurate by today's standards.
