Mr.Majestyk Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 So.... I've been a lover of the Cali dial for a long time & recently saw a watch in the big 47mm radiomir case & found it totally wearable.... All this has re-ignited my "need" for a CALI dial 3646 / PAM249 / PAM 448 etc..... This all brings me to decision time. Do I just bite the bullet & buy an out-of the box CALI? or do I have one built?I've asked a similar Q on another forum, although a little more slanted asking members their experiences with DSN's 249 - and for the most part they've been good. I'm just not all that convinced about his dial & hands though as well as the lume combo.... For an outta the box - best version, who would you recommend? For a built one - who would you recommend? My pre-requisites are: *matching dial & hand vintage/patina/ not pure-white LUME, correct hand-shape *sapphire crystal on front (although am beginning to think there's no such thing in the REP world), may need to be a high dome plexi & plexi exhibition back. *Swiss Movement (I have read that an A-6497 is just as good & could save myself $200-$300), but if I'm going the whole way, I'd rather a SWISS, I believe a 6497 is virtually the same as a 6498 (different sun-seconds placement - not applicable here). I've been researching movements & can find some re-branded movements which would do the job I beleive..... *correct - as close to gen shaped case... Decisions, decisions... Would love any or all your help. Cheers...MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
