So I bought a Dsn 292 from a fellow member. Just wanted to know how it compares to the 292k that most of our trusted dealers have. The Dsn case is pvd plated steel and the 292k is ceramic. That is the biggest difference that I know of. It seems like Dsn's watches are usually a little pricey compared to other reps I've seen.

the big tell n the dsn 292 is that the case corners are too fat.
if you look at the 292k from H factory, (besides being ceramic obviously) loking from the side, you'll see that the top of the case and the bottom of the case nearly meet in a pointy corner. exactly like the gen.
if you look at the dsn from the side, you'll see that the top and bottom of the case, are sepparated by a 3mm tall corner.

So do you think I made a bad choice? Should I get rid of it and go for the 292k? Or is it a keeper? Either way the watch is beautiful. The seller is a great guy.

Nope, if you love your watch, you made a good choice. Wear it with pride (and if you get tired of the PVD one day and want ceramic, grab a 292K for H factory, swap movements (the one in the 292K sounds/feels a bit on the crappy side ;) ) and you'll be set to go!

so the h-factory is a real full ceramic case?
It definitely looks like it. It might be just coated, though, but knowing they became famous making ceramic Hublots, I'd say it's real!

I believe that the "2" in 12:00 on the DSN is not as accurate as on the 292K. If you compare the dials side by side with the gen, you'll see the "2" is different.
