Best rep, straight from the package is DSN. No question.

i ordered a pam black seal chrono from timeshops a few days ago....i did notice that one of the chronos had an 8 instead of a 10 like on the gen other than that it looked really good. hopefully that problem has been fixed and its an old pic. i still emailed davidsen about getting what im looking for i'd like to buy both at the same time. i don't mind paying a little more for something thats got a good movement and pretty much indistinguishable from the gen.

Which one was that? Movement? Not sure there is/was a Black Seal with chronos? The Radiomirs with chronos have 10,20,30 at the subdial@3, no 8 anywhere I believe. Do not set your hopes too high. You must assume that you get what is in the pic. If in doubt AND if it is very important to you, check with the dealer before ordering.

Then DSN is the one to go for! But there are ALWAYS flaws that make them distinguishable from the gens if you know what to look for. Never expect to find the perfect rep! If perfection is what you want => Buy gen instead. With reps you get what you pay for - a watch put together in China with Chinese produced parts. It can never be the same as the gen. (But visually you can get pretty close. :wink: )

its a radiomir chrono w/ quartz...i know i know :) some of these reps look just like the gens....no ones going to be inspecting it with their nose to the crystal so i'm not really worried about that. i just want it to look right you know.

That's absolutely the right attitude!

Ok, then you should consider NOT dressing up like Peter Griffin hooker style... :D

Yep, very nice piece! (But expensive I guess.) I just got a DSN Fiddy (Swiss E) a few days ago. Fantastic!

Regarding that Radiomir chrono quartz you have on the way. I'm afraid you will have to live with the numbers 8, 16, 24 on the subdial @ 3. It's probably an OS20 movement that has 24 hour clock located there.

yeah its $450 but if its quality likes everyone else is saying w/ a real swiss movmt should last a long time. yeah the radiomir chrono is an os20 but if its real japanese quartz it should last as well. heck it will still look nice.
