DuDro Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 It appears that Davidsenjpn (a.k.a. DSN) now has some serious competition from TWP and Angus. Given that he was the first to offer modded PAMs, I'm curious to know what your favorite models are that he still offers...Post away!

Cucumber_Jones Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I disagree. DSN actualy makes watches that we would never see if it was not for him. The others just buy from factorys. No compitition at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kollektor Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Such an easy question. Why the 217 of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Such an easy question. Why the 217 of course! I love his 112. I love his Fiddy. It just happens those are the only DSN watches I own. (My next, the 232, perhaps) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuDro Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Hmmm...Good feedback so far...Keep them coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawo Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Ditto for the Fiddy. The 111E though has a dial that is inaccurate. The fonts are raised and the lume is not so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kotaro Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) I make compare with DSN, TWP and Angus for a longtime. Of course it is depend on personal feeling, I decide Angus 111E with Asian which has most accurate dial & crown guard, and also Angus have a competitive price. When 111E arrive, I will write a short review. Edited October 29, 2007 by kotaro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panama Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) I like his PVD models most... 1. Pam009 2. Pam5218/202a 3. Pam127 4. Pam082 Cheers Panama Edited October 29, 2007 by Panama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuDro Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 How about any of his PVDs? I've tried a non-DSN PVD PAM in the past but the finish was kind of "cheap-looking". I'm starting to like them again after looking at some of DSN's offering...Let me know what you think...Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I love his 112. I love his Fiddy. It just happens those are the only DSN watches I own. (My next, the 232, perhaps) i was waiting for someone to mention the 232 -- it's my only DSN watch i own, and it is very nice (it will be even nicer when i get a chance to install the more accurate darker brown dial he sent me). don't hesitate for one second on the 232 (yes vic, i'm talking to you ) -- it's probably my most unique pam. deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB7 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I just ordered a TWP modded 111h with asian 6497 - Hes doing his special lume mix to relume and cannon pinion fix - Cant wait to get this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest watchbuff Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) My only PAM the 111H Has a 2 mm crown, maybe its a freak thing or he did me the favor, supelumed, canon pin fix, 2 nice bands, Swiss movement. The best price offered from anyone. http:// By watchbuff, shot with DSC-W5 at 2007-10-12 Edited October 29, 2007 by watchbuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyster Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I have his Fiddy which is a thing of beauty, I just feel like a boy wearing his Dads watch though . I like his 177h, might have to cave in and buy one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuDro Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I'm going back and forth on whether I can pull off a 47mm PAM. The first time I tried, my GF laughed at me when she saw it on my wrists. The second time, I liked it when I placed a 26mm x 22mm strap on it. Now, I'm not sure...my wrist measure about 6.75 inches (17.15 cm). I have no problem with my UPO XL, but something about those few extra millimeters makes me hesitate about getting another Fiddy. Any thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slai Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I have a 6.5" wrist...bring on the 47mm pams I say. A 44mm pam feels so small in comparison now. (ignore the strap choice...just experimenting) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slai Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Oh yeah, the 195 is my only remaining DSN so I guess it's my favourite. Pretty impressive AR on the crystal since these pics were taken with a flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 i was waiting for someone to mention the 232 -- it's my only DSN watch i own, and it is very nice (it will be even nicer when i get a chance to install the more accurate darker brown dial he sent me). That personally shows a lot of after-purchase professionalism to me. He also sent me tried to make things right with me, and I appreciated it. I just hope he's not giving Raymond the cold shoulder, because of any lingering ill-feeling. When will you have your dial done? don't hesitate for one second on the 232 (yes vic, i'm talking to you ) -- it's probably my most unique pam. I can't wait*! It's such a covetted watch in the gen forum, as you know. That and the 249, but a prominent RWG'er convinced me that the plexiglass really is easily scratched, and those blue hands look rather tacky. I think Tourby once said the same thing. The only detail I don't like about the 232 is the lack of exposition caseback. Ah well! *However, I'll think I'll ask my parents for it to be my Christmas present, so I'll order it in late November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Any thoughts on this? Click on Rima's post regarding her 6.5" wrists, as well as Slai's above. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=21017&hl= Her post was INSTRUMENTAL in making me realise I too could wear a large watch, like Panerais. Well, and Ola. It depends on body build, ultimately, DuDro. Look at my 5.7" wrists. The 44mms are perfect. The 47mms are okay. That's because I have medium sized bones, in a petite frame (height-wise. I could stand to lose the stone I gained these past 3 months...). How would you describe your body? The taller the better, but also, if the wrist is slim but the rest of your hand and forearm is wide, you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estaban Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Never owned one, but I would say his 195 or his Fiddy are the best offerings he has. He has a lot to correct on his base offerings before I'd buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltatahoe Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 That personally shows a lot of after-purchase professionalism to me. He also sent me tried to make things right with me, and I appreciated it. david has always been nothing but professional with me. i emailed him asking how much it would be to send me the updated dial; he responded with a price (which was very reasonable for a new superlumed dial) and after discussing payment methods (i purchased my 232 from him using an international wire transfer, which apparently he ended up having to pay $20-25 in fees to receive), he just sent it to me for free and said we'll settle up with my next purchase. When will you have your dial done? i'm wondering the same thing. i really need to just suck it up and buy the necessary tools to complete simple tasks like this on my watches, but i find myself so busy when i'm not working that i don't really have much excess time to do my own watchmaking work. given ziggy is so slammed these days, i'm at a loss regarding what to do. one thing is for sure, when i get it done i will take some pics to show off the new darker dial; i think it will look awesome with the mario paci papaya brown strap i have on my 232... deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
