dutchguy2 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 I had a gen 24B once and want one back. This was my gen: Now I found out that DSN has a 24A in his program. To my untrained eyes it looks good but is it? I've read about a low crown position but do not realy care about that. Is there anything else wrong?
thom Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 I have build a one with T-Crown and swiss 7750, Case quallity is nice,but CG pin is to far down Cheers Thom
dutchguy2 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Posted April 29, 2011 Thanks Thom. How about dial and hands?
thom Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 Dial and Hands are good but the Minute Hand is a Bit to Big at the Pin Gen has a smaler one
dutchguy2 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Posted April 29, 2011 Lugs are completely wrong What exactly is wrong? To short? Wrong shape? Thank you.
prdubis Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 Too fat and too short There is a thread in the sale section at RG comparing both cases...
StormTooper4 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 Good grief I am being to think the W in RWG really stands for Whinge . Yes that's it, this forum seems more like Replica Whinge Group Had my 24 on at the footie last night and I sometimes is forget what a fantastic watch it is. Had it on a MF 1942 and it doesnt rub the strap. The Crystal Cyclop Mag and DW font are friggin awesome, the numerials have that nice expanded blur at certain angles just like in your photos. the CG is near perfect and that Bezel rocks . Yep the Crown is 1-2mm to low, but F#$k me is it really the end of the world? you hardly notice it when its on. Seriously for the money its quality , if you miss having the gen then its a great option. Oh did i forget THERE ARE NO OTHER 24A POLISHED BEZEL OPTIONS , no current dealer apart from DSN stocks them and this constant moaning about his watches is ssoooooooooooo boring
prdubis Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 Mate, dutchguy2 had a gen 24B...I really can't say he won't be disapointed by DSN 24A... Yes, it's a nice rep, I've got one modded with T48SL and Taka DW and I really enjoy it, but it's nothing compared to gen. Cyclop is not well centered, DW fonts are still too thin, case is really different, it's difficult to set the crown because of it's low position... So enjoy the watch, but don't expect an accurate rep... And don't forget you can still get the ultimate PAM199 or the Cartel PAM24...
Dave123 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 What does "Whinge" mean?... Man,back in 2007 DSN was god when it came to these Pams,seems that day is long gone,gets ripped apart all the time of late like he has no idea what he is doing...

dutchguy2 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Posted April 30, 2011 Thanks for your input here. Realy need to think this over and see what other options there are.
dutchguy2 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Posted May 9, 2011 So after some thoughts and a opportunity to buy a heavy modded PAM199 I now have a Sub back. Here it is with my (vac) PAM111 Mods are : - Vac lume (vintage lume color) - Gen 7750 serviced - 2geeks date wheel - crown and bezel have been tightened Best of all, it has a gen feel. Thanks for looking.
StormTooper4 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 Blimey you certainly went for it, thats a quality sub you got yourself
