I know Davidsen has come in for some flack lately over his quality control, so I thought I should just recount a brief story. I ordered a 056 Titanium Destro from him which arrived amazingly quickly and without a hitch. Payment was easy. I had to flip the CG and set out to make my first mod: planing the CG and filing the contour to make it lie flatter against the watch body. All was well 'til I dropped one of the !@#$% screws that holds the CG to the watch and could not find it among the cobwebs of the garage floor. I emailed Davidsen and asked him for two new ones plus 2 new ones for my 112 I bought from him--in case I get fumble-fingered with one of those too. He very quickly had 4 screws in the mail, sent by registered post, and withouut any cost to me. I've only bought 2 reps. Both from Davidsen. Will I deal with him again? Without a moment's hesitation. Perhaps this information might offer comfort to anyone contemplating buying from him but unsure of his service.

DSN has my vote. My 111H arrived nearly perfect, flush cg pin and CG flush like it was modded. Asided from the swiss mad being too close to the 6 the 111H is one of the few reps i bought I will keep ALWAYS.

( I gues I got a good one)

Nice to hear - I have bought two DSN master pieces and was trying to reach him for a third 249-calif. He did not respond for awhile and I started letting some of the post i had read leak-in and just though maybe things changed. He just reached me and we are off and running.

Glad to hear your experience and I look forward to working with him again soon.
