5218-203 or 004?

[eljosho]

I just got back from a trip to Vegas, tried on far too many watches, and now have got the itch to pick up something new.

I want to get a PVD Luminor with the tritium dial. I'm trying to decide between a DSN 5218-203 or a DSN 004. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

No opinions on these? That's not like RWI at all.

I would pick the 5218-203 over the PAM004.

If you can 5218-203A

If you can 5218-203A

I agree with Rwolf

The good news - Davidsen was great to deal with and got the watch to me quickly.

The bad -

Somehow I didn't notice how crooked the text on the dial was until I had it in hand. I completely missed it in the QC pics.

Since I didn't catch it before the watch shipped, is it even worth contacting Davidsen about it, or am I stuck?

The best dsn T dial IMHO is the 009. (It can be mooded up with an fgd dial or..) Relumed by VAC and a jakob case, etc and you'll have a killer watch. As far as your's..., I'd contact him right away. Let us know what transpired....

Contact him right away. He'll make things right.

Dropped a line to Davidsen. I will report back.

If I can find an FGD dial I think I would upgrade to that. Big "IF" there from the sounds of it.
