turboGUATE Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 They look good but damn too expensive... I'd rather take the DSN 89. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Yikes $$$ 110 over the swiss 029 seems alot IMO Still wouldn't mind the Firenze though , think DSN's 88 is still a good choice not really a fan of the Regatta. Still its good to know the factories are still making some PAM's ST$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sander Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 If you look closely to the hands, you still can see a dark spot in the middle. Is it really that hard and/or expensive to put an extra layer of lume on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veyron Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 They look good but still not perfect. Why don't they rep the crown and crownguard well? I think for 428usd we should get more... The previous models 104, 164 etc are 280usd, everything is the same except for the dials, and these are 428usd?? Think I wait for some news or lower price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdzsmith Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Will they still be over $400 in 6 months? 3 months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulw Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Why can the manufacturers make more complicated watches more accurate than these relatively simple designs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtraExtra Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 That is definitely crazy pricing. Its basically an new version of the same model that is already out. Is this like v3 or v4 now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dario33 Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Whoa...way too pricey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cskent69 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 If anyone gets one of these - lets us know if the datewheel is still sunken. The pictures from the dealers make the date look good - but I am skeptical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Wait until the other dealers list them and they will probably be cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc Posted November 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 what is the difference between the new "ultimate" 088 dial and DSN's 088 dial? DSN's dial seems to have the GMT numerals too far from the case edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjlamp Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Expensive or not,they laugh on the way to the bank. $ 400 plus for a cost of barely $ 50. I think that replicas enter the era of inflated prices. As most of the gens. Something smells fishy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something smells fishy Hmm, not so sure about that, high price is one thing, selling it is another; I doubt they will sell much of these, so what will they take to the bank?

Easily earned $$$. Do you know the average monthly income in China ? And don't be so sure about low selling numbers. They do sell lots of them.

100 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I have the DSN's 228. The dial is much lighter in person than in the picture and definately much lighter than cartel's 228 The caseback seems very much the same, DSN vs Cartel. DSN is using the same casebackas the one from cartel I think. The pictures on his website are not the current one on the caseback. The quality of caseback's engraving on the 229 is MUCH MUCH better than on the 228. But unfortunately on the 229, the tiny Officine Panerai is wrong, it spelled as Officine Paneria...
