ZainoDetail Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 All, I was ready to pull the trigger on a DSN 177h until my research has shown the dials appear to be getting worse and worse and not better. However all of his Ti. models seem to be otherwise very nice with even acceptable crowns lately. (although the crown guards aren't perfect...I suppose we can all nitpick though). So I'm thinking about getting a 176 base model instead. Previous posts of his 112 / 176 base dials seems to be much better right now than the 111/177 dials. Has anyone received a DSN base watch lately to confirm that the base dials are still good?...or no worse than before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Has anyone received a DSN base watch lately to confirm that the base dials are still good?...or no worse than before? I've seen you here before, ZainoDetail, so perhaps you've seen my DSN 112 in Wristies, but it all depends what you mean by "lately". On 1 Sept, I received a package with my replacement Fiddy and 112. Here they are out of the box. And for the record, I think both the 112 and the Fiddy dial are flawless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest watchbuff Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) Im a PAM newbie, but did my homework. The most bang for the buck. Great quality, great service. Look to spend more for the same at other dealers. It's not 1:1 but it will take less $$$ to get it closer looking to gen. Add a good crown, and those smaller details do not even become apparent unless to are examined under a loupe by an afficianado that you could only find here. Wear it proud and wear it loud! I got my 111H and never looked back. By watchbuff, shot with DSC-W5 at 2007-10-12 Edited October 22, 2007 by watchbuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest watchbuff Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 By the way, anyone have PAM straps they want to trade, My Davidesen straps are a littl;e short for my taste. I should have ordered the longer. I have tan and Black leather Mint cond. Any takers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZainoDetail Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 The newer 111 / 177 dials the big numbers seem to stand out to me for some reason...the base dials that Stephane and frank posted look very good to me which is why I think I'm going to go the base route on this one.

slai Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 With the ti models, the bigger issue is the shape of the CG when you look at it from the side, and that the bottom doesn't sit flush against the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
