Just wanted to do a quick write up for you guys. I apologize in advance for the crappy pics, I have a very average digicam.
I guess you can put me in the lucky category as this is the 3rd DSN watch, from the past 2 months I've received that has been 'up to par' IMO. The other two are 104s, one that went to a friend... and one at Vac right now for Lello DW and SuperLume.
All that being said... I've been awaiting this watch for sometime now (first heard he was working on it in March) and finally sent funds on May 30th. Showed up at my door, June 4th. Communication & Shipping 100%...so far so good.
Opened the box, and it's ticking. Good sign. I didn't ask for pictures before DSN sent, I hadn't in the past and had no need to this time. However, everything looked good. Dial was as expected (Better spacing on L SWISS MADE L then my 104... Correctly sized marker on the 9). Case showed no dings or scratches.
Only complaint is the top Strap Lug doesn't screw in all the way. Haven't determined if it's a matter of something in the female thread restricting it, or if the male thread is to long. I have a set of River Bars that'll probably go in once my SanDave Strap touches down.
Well, here are the pics. Judge for yourself.
Dial is Spot on. Spacing on Crown is good. Lever pin seems centered to me.
CG is pretty flush with the case. Lever seems centered. Crown is centered. Note the top lug a bit further out then the bottom one.
All in all I'm happy. I've had good experiences and will continue to buy from him. Any issues I *have* had were solved quickly and fairly.
Anyone with questions, feel free to ask.
