Mickey Padge Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I had a beat up PAM199G, ultimate version, however it had a sweet date font and really nice crystal. Already owning a nice 199G, I knew something had to be done, so I ordered from DSN (thanks DSN!) a 106D dial/hands/case set, to see what I could build. I do love titanium watches! After a couple of hours work, here are the results! Pics, keep clicking to expand: I am really happy with the results, my build skills are improving, although there are some hairlines on the dial, around the second hand mainly I really think DSN did a great job with the grey anthracite dial, it looks black, blue and grey all with a turn of the wrist or a change in lighting. I think the case set could be better, fat lugs and the crown position is way too low, but the crown itself is surprisingly nice. The case is titanium, with steel bezel and crown guard/crown, but the lever is ti. I have it mounted on a soft finish croc strap, double stitched The lume is weak, but then I am not a big lume fanatic, plus I think for a T dial it looks about right..... Please let me know your thoughts, comments and observations welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormTooper4 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Great looking watch the grey titanium works well with that dial. Great Cyclops and DW as well very impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Thanks stormtooper4, I am tempted to pick up another dial, as the hairlines on the subdial bug me! I am way too fussy, you can only see them in bright daylight, but I know they are there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Looks really good Mickey and that Davidsen dial is to die for. Thanks bwhitesox, I have just ordered another dial, it deserves to be spotless! I only marked the dial because the DSN second hand didn't fit, now I know that I won't make that mistake twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATEspo Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) I've been contemplating a sub from DSN and really like the 170G or 106D, emailed him yesterday and he has them both ready to ship. Your photos might make me want to go with the 106D due to the titanium. Edited June 23, 2011 by ATEspo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Yep, the titanium/steel case was the reason I went the 106D, that and the anthracite dial.

Yeah, DSN's Sub's look really nice in stock standard form, let alone with these upgrades, but I see no posts on them!? For $280 they seem to be great value too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
