I think davidsen did a great job on the 082. He almost had it perfect "ALMOST". I think if the lume is fixed and and the right shade of blue is used on the dial this could very well be a very solid piece. I have some pics for you to compare. I want to thank BigBadBrad because i stole a couple of his pics for reference. I just want your opinions on what we should do to make this perfect. the case that davidsen created is dead on, I dont see any other problems besides the dial. Put your thoughts here.

Ok, here is BigBadBrad's watch:

Compare it with a close up of the Gen:

You see how the lume should be? My question to you is, how can we get to that point?


Another comparison shot: thanks again BBB:

Please give us your comments. I would like to get this issue fixed because i believe this watch is well worth it and could be one of the best reps in your box.

the lume sucks something fierce.

otherwise minus the selective imperfections which people respectively recived, they r pretty good.

Dial color is tricky because with that dial, the color will change with the angle and the light. I don't think it is fair to compare colors as I bet this is closer than those pictures tell.

The lume however.....

Very true. I can live with just the lume fix. I would be very happy with that.

Same here... The lume looks as if it is not done by machine. Not good IMHO. Looks like a rushed reluming job.

I have been in contact with davidsen over the last few days. He tells me he has a updated dial and will be sending it to me. He said before he sends the dial he will send me a pic of it. As soon as i receive the pic i will post it here. Also, when I receive the dial the watch will be off to vaccum for the change out.

082 again

Thanks for the ref., dawg. Although I dunno what happened to the links - bummer.

I do want to get another dial from DSN. I am glad, tho, that I got it!

You are welcome BBB.

alot has changed for me since this post. I have since moved on to bigger Pam's. I returned my 082 to davidsen and got his GMT which I sold to get his 232 :shock: Man, the rep hobby it has alot of curves for sure :D
