sanro Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I notice that Davidsen has posted on April 25th his "NEW" 89 GMT... He seems to have solved the skinny minutes hand and the backcase numbers problem... Is it now "perfect" or has he messed up with something else I am not able to notice? I feel tempted...

longshot Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 i'm tempted too but concerned that the crown seems crooked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Overall it's a very good rep, but I still see a few flaws: 1 - Blue dial tone, instead of anthracite. Is it just the pics? Else, this is the only evident flaw. 2- (Minor). Hour hand still not 100%. Lumed part a little too long. 3- (Very minor). Numbers and indices a little too spaced from the outer border of the dial. 4 - (Very minor). Caseback's domed border a little too thin, and OP/BB/serial a little too small. Still, a 99% caseback, and a 99% rep if the dial color is near correct. and the backcase numbers problem... What was the problem with the caseback numbers, mate? EDIT & P.S.: The date does not show clearly in DSN pics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanro Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 mmm...the first version did not have any serial numbers at all... I hadn't noticed about the dial: I think I just assumed it HAD to be anthracite, but on a second look it seems pretty obvious it isn't. That, or DSN is a lousy photographer (like me!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegendofSpeed Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 as dsn's ad states it comes with a blue leather strap if i remember correctly, i believe the dial is a blue... i've seen a couple of the blue dial fantasies out there... if it was anthracite i would've ordered one already....

drop Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Crown guard looks a little thin as well... but altogether not enough flaws to really tempt me should he release an anthracite dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAMman Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 The caseback seems to be only very lightly laser etched rather than engraved. Looks rather anemic to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 IMO it's yet another "coulda been great but turned out about average" watch offered by davidsen. I bet he sells hundreds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerblade Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I've been looking for a Pam since before I joined RWG, I still cant understand why they can rep pretty much 1-1 on complicated pieces but on IMO a more basic Pam theres still so much wrong with them. I've been looking at DSN's for a while as he's supposed to be one of the main men for Pam's but it always seem to be close but no cigar. For the kind of prices there going for I just dont think there value for money when you can pick up a cheaper one with the same kind of issues. My search for a 111G continues Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
