Okay PAM experts!

Looks very similar to a DSN dial to me. The shape of the 2 in 12 and fat crossbar at the top of the 3 look just like my DSN dial. The "L Swiss Made L" looks to be slightly different position than mine. The sheen of the dial and indices are just the same as my dial, though. I say rep, but a VERY good one.

If your pic is of a DSN watch, then I second DSN origin for Ubiq's dial.

Consider yourself lucky, ubi. This is the original version of that dial which is no longer being made by DSN. His new dial is still nice, but the "L Swiss Made L" is a little closer to the minute marks and the 6/9 are slightly less closed on his newer version.

That's a keeper, my friend! I was even lucky enough to get one of DSN's Swiss/swan neck E movements with mine (it was a 114E when I ordered it ;) ). Shame that movement is hiding behind a closed caseback, now...

I am going to agree as well. The more I thought about this and looked at my genuine dial vs. my DSN dial I started to realize that it just doesnt have the sheen to the lettering and dial that the genuine has. I have a T-based 010 dial from DSN's early efforts and it is similar in its quality....

Yes, as far as I know this is DSN's first generation 010 dial which was the best dial that he ever produced (with considerable input from at least one forum member). Lovely dial and you should value it highly as it's no longer available.

Yup, as Peepshow and PAMman noted, it's an older generation DSN 010/114 dial.

Both Peepshow and myself made an extra effort in sourcing this very version from DSN, instead of his latest one which isn't as good as this one.

I made myself a nice 10D with it, also managed to surce a 'correct' D-series DSN caseback.

cheers,

Thanks Babola - I did and it is with The Zigmeister right now getting turned into an 010 with the correct D series caseback (although I contemplate using my spare B series caseback since it is a T-dial)

I'd use a B-series caseback if I were you ;-)

10B-T sweetness awaits you ...
