Basing from the breakdown that oncyte did for the 201, I think it is somewhat tedious to get all of the parts needed.

Because all the right parts cone from different watches and parts that are custom made from forum members. There is no good out of the box 202 imo

Good 202....yes.

Great 202.......depends how picky you are. I believe some currently available 202s are over 95% of the way there. Spending upwards of a thousand dollars to get it to 99% is not worth it IMO but many do and that's cool!

If you like the 202, modded ones come up for sale in the sales section all the time. There are 2 there now. I would order one and upgrade what YOU feel isn't good enough for you.

Not many guys will be able to tell the case back engraving isn't the correct depth while you wear it around town......... ;)

This would be it.

Why the Tritium?

This is a nice black watch! ;)

There are a couple of modded 202's for sale in the forums, a nice 360 and a 000 dlc'd Or you can buy a 009 from dsn, an fgd dial/hands set, a saphire xtal, a strap from dirk and a cb from jakob and send all to vac and then have a killer watch... for about one grand and some time/luck getting all the parts.

Oh my friend ! They are completely different watches !! No worries.
The only think is that Noob is working in a new version of PAM 360 and you should wait to see it.
Please don't ask me when. I DON'T KNOW IT. Nobody knows it.

question, is DSN's 202a dial too thin for a matching dial?? matching dials are thick?
