tmg Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 5218/201A and 6152 are my favs. I have to echo what a pleasure he is to deal with; I've bought quite a few parts from him too and he often sends multiples or does it gratis -he knows how to do business! Can't wait to have his latest version dial dropped in this baby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuDro Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 5218/201A... ... Is that the CG that it came with or did you mod it? Looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmg Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 This was purchased from another forum member, pretty sure it's original but unsure if it was modded. It does seems like the surface was brushed again since you can hardly see the pin that holds the lever in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuDro Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 DSN has agreed to have a courier deliver my order to my hotel when I'm in Hong Kong next month! Woo Hoo! Instant gratification! Now I need to decide which one to get...Hmmmm... From the responses to the post, it seems that I should be leaning towards the following: The 195... The 082... The 127... Time to make a decision... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Go for the 195. Better yet, the 009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuDro Posted November 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Go for the 195. Better yet, the 009. I'm leaning towards the 195 AND possibly a 127. I'll be visiting the MBK shop the week after my stay in HKG, so I need to keep that in mind. For the price of the 127, I can possible buy two MBK gems. I like the 009, but I don't think DSN has them...Correct me if I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cc Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 i've owned quite a few DSN's and the most elegant would have to be the 127. this thing is damm perfect. However, my 2 favorites DSN's of all time are his 176 and 202a. the 176 is 99% accurate. i'm suprised that this watch doesnt get much attention. Nobody beats DSN's PVD. i've seen other Pam PVD offerings and it comes glossy like it was anodized from SS casing. DSN's PVD has great texture and are coated based off of his Ti cases. my .02 cents..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr8tn Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 First things first, thanks Davidsen. I received my DSN 172 yesterday and it is now the best watch I own. From the very first email, to the response to my many emails, he answered all of my questions and put my mind at ease that I was making the right decision. Since this is my first PAM, I really have nothing to compare it to. I originally wanted the DSN 111H, but liked the fact that the blue hands sort of made this watch stand out among the others. I also liked the fact that the case wasn't all shiny. I know the case is ION-TI plated, and I hope the finish last for a long time. The only imperfection that I saw was what looked like lume overextending the :30 tick on the seconds dial. I have to honestly say, other than taking a bit to actually pay Davidsen through moneybookers, the transaction was extremely fast (3-4 days HK to my door). Davidsen included an additional band and extra sping bars, now if I can only figure out how to get the tan band off and put on the dark brown one. It would have been nice to have a screwdriver small enough to perform this task I'm very happy with my purchase and know that this probably won't be my last DSN. I started collecting rep watches in the mid 80's and these were cheaply made and the quality was poor. None of them have really survived over the years. My goal is basically start from this point forward with a variety of quality rep watches. Now, I need to find the best strap to finish the look. Enjoy the photos, photography is another hobby of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinamm20 Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 i just love my 026 destro i got from DSN just cant get it off my wrist....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 If you are looking for a 127, check out Angus' new offering, I have just bought one, and waiting for it to be delivered, fot the price it is one hell of a watch! Not to say DSN's are inferior, I had a 005 from him which was sublieme, but $218 for a great Fiddy from Angus sold it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 The only Davidsen watch I have is the 127, yet it is a thing of beauty, and has to be up there as one of his best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 082 is pretty sweet That is stunning, i dont think i have ever seen one before, blown away, i think now i know what my wife is getting for christmas!

Victoria Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 That is stunning, i dont think i have ever seen one before, blown away, Hey! I was the one who suggested Maxi buy the Toscana Amber strap...and it looks GORGEOUS. Like they were made for each other. i think now i know what my wife is getting for christmas! Vic would you think she would like it? Oh my word YES. For me, on the next-to-buy-from-DSN, it's either the 232 or the 082. I think I want a change of pace with the Radiomir, but this is a no-brainer. BUY IT! Mrs. Andy will love it. (Goes great with "lady colour" straps, in case she likes those. I'm speaking specifically of whites, beiges, and light tans) EDIT: Don't forget to check the Daily Specials for a low-priced Amber. Not currently on offer though. http://timeconnection.biz/page/timeco/CTGY/Special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 I just looked at DSNs pics of this watch and he should seriosly think about re taking the pics or using maximilions shots, on the sales shots is looks like a boreing sausage dail, in maxes pics the shines and sparkles!

I am constantly stunned by the low quality of shots offered by some collectors. Some verge on the deceptive (but in the good sense -- once I got used to it, I "compensated" in my mind for what I was about to get, because the pics looked crappy), or dilettante. DSN's pics...so-so. But for the money he charges, I'd certainly get professional shots done of my watches. Who can forget this lovely photo, showing a rather shadowy figure in the background? I called it The Ghost of Davidsen's Past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Davidsen's case he looks like a stringvestite. Not an ounce of hair on that bod! And yes, I'm woman enough to wonder what Andrew, Joshua, and them look like. I bet you Andrew looks elegant.
