SEleven Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Something is off.... Dial is crooked in the case or printing is off. The first photo it is really off. You're absolutely right, the DSN dial is slightly crooked. Only noticed it after a few months, the 3 sits lower than it should in relations to the crown. It bothered me for a while, but I stopped caring... its a rep after all. No its not the dial its the case thats off! Thanks for sharing how much did they charge for the AR mate and how long did it take? Congrats and enjoy mate Thanks Pete. I'm pretty sure its the dial that's crooked, but could be that the crown tube is tapped lower than it should. As for the AR, I got it during the xmas special for around 30 Euro. Took two and a half months, longer than expected, however seeing the results I don't really mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEleven Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Honestly, I think I'm still missing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 How could the case be off to the dial mate. Its always the dial thats off. The case is set the dial is moveable. Like I might of said instead its not the dial thats off its the bezel! Sorry brit humour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEleven Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Ah, I get it. Well, I thought that another explanation for the misalignment was because the hole for the stem/crown tube was tapped a bit lower that it should have. Dammit, now I'm becoming slightly obsessed with it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valerian Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Dammit, now I'm becoming slightly obsessed with it again. Hi mate To be honest I didn't get the Brit joke either. Luckily Pete's British decency forces him to explain. About the dial: I like your watch very much and I think the AR is a cool feature (who cares if it's not gen-like). But you don't need to be possessed to feel the urge to fix the dial problem. It simply needs fixing. Send it to Domenico, he's quite close to you and very reliable. Sorry for telling the awful truth as I see it. Val. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drulee Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Ah, I get it. Well, I thought that another explanation for the misalignment was because the hole for the stem/crown tube was tapped a bit lower that it should have. Dammit, now I'm becoming slightly obsessed with it again. If the hole/tube was installed any lower or higher than the exact centre of the case, then the stem would not be able to insert into the movement's hole enough for it to function.

chad Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I would get the issue fixed. The AR looks great and it is a good looking watch. Why settle with that on a modded piece? It would drive me crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
