Anyone received a 113 from Davidsen?

I'm very curious about the 113 that Davidsen is now selling, and would love to hear form anyone who has received theirs. (I know it can take a couple weeks to receive watches from Davidsen, so maybe I'm early in asking.)

There's a 113 in my future, but as of now I'm debating purchasing Davidsen's ($360 vs. Ruby's $250). With the $110 difference, I could have Vaccum do some work on it for me...so it's a question of whether or not the $110 is well spent (AR coating, lume strong?) with the Davidsen version.

All thoughts are welcome here.

I've got one in between Hong Kong and here, although I have no earthly idea where it is. You know I'll flood the forum with pics once she arrives.

From what I've seen on Ruby's 113, there is no recessed pin. Just want to make that point, as it's definitely part of the value equation.

@ Manu -- looking forward to your pics. Wear it well.

the only thing ruby's needs is the lume. there is no recessed cannon pin and it has the correct dagger and swan neck. also the lume dots at 12 O'Clock are correct. i am wearing it right now and it rocks!!

Is it just me or does the crown in Ruby's pictures look like it is hollowed out? It doesn't look solid for some reason. hk any thoughts on the quality of it's crown and crown guard in comparison to Davidsen's?

Thanks!

they are kick ass on mine. also it will accept very thick straps or a ss bracelet. i don't know about davidsen's 113 but the lugs are too short on his 111h and it will not take a ss bracelet and a very thick strap will rub the case.

i love this watch. 8)

I've always loved yours too and I know vaccum does a phenominal job (he did my 183 before I sold it). BUT, to me, there is something about opening the package, putting a nice strap on it and enjoying it without any work.

I've said it before, I follow the path of least resistance when it comes to reps and that includes modded watches and PayPal. :oops:

The dial font on rubys pics seem a little thin or not as BOLD as the gen, I've always noticed that in the 113 rep pictures that I saw on several dealers websites.
Maybe its just the pics? but hopefully davidsen's is better :lol:
