CptTripps Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Guy was sleeping next to me on a plane yesterday. I know it may be one of those generic watches with great movements on eBay, but I loved the case. Had a sweeping hand, so it wasn't quartz. Any ideas?

asciwhite Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hahahaha yes MD2020 for the second time.. Yes! Thanks brother Maybe he was a secert rep lover and you didnt even know it. Imagine that two RWG members on the same plane and didnt even know it? lol We need some sort of code to see if the other person is a rep guy or not. On a different note, ASCIWhite did you get that case i sent you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptTripps Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Yeah, those are real cool. I didn't see anywhere to buy one on the site. I'd snap one up in a sec.Funny that there's a rep of a watch that isn't all that expensive to begin with. I'm hunting down a few on eBay now.The guy next to me had a smooth rubber strap with a deployment. Cool looking watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 DSN's model, from the back. I assume the year and month are custom, per order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the logo that was on the rubber strap. It's a sweet looking watch...but I'm thinking I'll look for a vintage one. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillycheez Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 You Guy was sleeping next to me on a plane yesterday. I know it may be one of those generic watches with great movements on eBay, but I loved the case. Had a sweeping hand, so it wasn't quartz. Any ideas? Looks like a MKII paradive... Always wanted one but it's a tad big for me. They go for $1.3-1.5k on the market depending on the bezel. Edit: I was ninja'd... I do own the Davidson version. The real thing can be had for maximum $2k depending on condition. Thought about selling it but I'm thinking of sending it to vac and getting it relumed, dial and bezel.
