DSN Mini Pam Pic Review

My Mini Pam from David San arrived today. I threw some custom straps I made on it and took some pics. (It did come with a rep strap)
First thing I want to note is that this is a fantasy model. It has a polished 44mm case without crown guard. Screw down Brevet crown. Domed plexi crystal. Hand wind A6497 movement and 24mm screw in lugs.
In a few of the pics there is also a 47mm Pam 605 which feels much larger than this watch.
This is my first watch from David, and I'm very impressed. The watch feels heavier than most pams I've gotten from ZF, Noob, V6. I don't know if this is factually accurate, but it just feels denser and higher quality to me.
The domed plexi is fantastic. I like that it doesn't have the typical "wall" where the sides of the crystal shoot straight up, perpendicular to the case to establish height. Instead, this one is just a solid dome that peaks about 3mm above the top of the bezel.
The case is highly polished. The crown is firmly attached, with no play. It feels very secure.
It has a solid caseback, although from the ad on his website, a glass caseback is available.
The dial is a slight off black when the light is shining off it. A little texture. Sandwich dial with a yellowish tan lume. The lume on the hands is bright, but not as bright on the dial cutouts. The hands are high polished gold, and look very striking against the dark dial.
I've only been wearing it for a few hours, but this might be a keeper.
Here's some pics. I highly recommend this watch, and Davidsen as a dealer. A+
Oh and shipping was quick. About 6 working days from payment to delivery in USA from HK.

Fantasy, looks like my fantasy. Almost. I was planning on a build like this. However, with CG. A 44mm 372 with MM instead of LP. This looks like a perfect base. My question: is the MM slightly engraved, like on the 372. Or is it printed? Thanks in advance and rep points for sharing this!

The MM looks printed, but it's deceiving because they use a paint that's textured. Tomorrow I'll post close up pics.
It really is a great watch. I like the contrast of the super old school style, mixed with a high polished case and that Crystal is AMAZING.
