DemonSlayer Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 I've been trying to source this one for a while now ever since I saw the screenshots of Stallone and his 202/a . Trevor said he was completely out of stock and that it wasn't likely that he would be getting any more in. So I posted wanted ads on the forums and luckily, a member on repgeek got back to me that his wasn't getting any wrist time and so asked if I wanted to buy it. I jumped at the offer and in only 4 days from Canada to the UK, here it is. I must say I'm definitely impressed with this watch. The PVD especially with the base dial is a killer combo. The only down side to the watch is that the numbers have extremely weak lume, however its nothing to cry about and I can always get it superlumed should I want to in the future.
SubFrog Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Hey Demon, That's a killer watch, man...looks great. I once had one like it (with the logo). We have similar tastes in watches.
DemonSlayer Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Posted March 3, 2008 Thanks Subfrog! I decided to go for this one because I didn't want to fork out $400 for a DSN 202/A, the look of the 009 is close enough for me Yes I think we do share similar taste for watches, especially since I now have a craving for a Yachtie and will be getting one soon.
sattop Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Great find!! Nice watch... those base suasage dials are hard to find nowdays Been looking for one for a while also.
Victoria Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 My dear Demon, this is too delicious! You made a slow day on RWG perk up. Hope to see this one alongside the APRO, in the Wristchecks!
old skool Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 Looks good. Why does the lume fill look yellow in the first pics and white in the last ones? Do you know who originally made this watch?
DemonSlayer Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Posted March 6, 2008 @old skool: The color of the numbers is more yellow than white, I think the reason it looks more white in the second pic is due to lighting and exposure and my messing around with photoshop This watch was originally sold by Trevor, but he has no stock so I bought it from another member.
old skool Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 I like it obviously. I can't really tell from the pictures but it is a sausage dial? I wanted a sausage for mine, but the cost to relume was a bit much. I have asked Davidsen for a no brand backfill dial but he doesn't have any.
DemonSlayer Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Posted March 7, 2008 Yes it is a sausage dial. I have read from other another members post that base sausage dials are becoming more and more rare.
PAMman Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 Yes it is a sausage dial. I have read from other another members post that base sausage dials are becoming more and more rare. Apparently the base sausage / painted dial is no longer being made, or so I have been told by a couple of dealers.
sattop Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 Yup... those base sausage dials are long gone. Been looking for months. So if you ever bought the $105 Base Pams from Trevor, you got yourself a great bargain.
