How is the 177 from watcheden?

[PHicks]

Nobody mentioned the fact that Watcheden was selling a swan neck version (look at the regulator) which is significantly more expensive than the regular one offered by 'Trusty'

This is mine but it has been heavily modified so it's not representative other than it having a DSN set of hands and dial.

If you want good lume then it may be worth going with DSN. The Moneygram deal is not too bad, just go to Walmart with cash or debit card (no Visa). DSN delivery is normally good because he uses EMS. Watcheden delivery is a little poorer because he has to source the watch first i.e. it takes up to a week before he ships then a further 7 to 10 days.

Both dealers are reliable in my book.

Watch out for S/S caseback's. Make sure it is engraved Titanium.

Remember that they all have junk straps so you will probably want to buy a strap (22mm)

That's all I can think off for now.

I would agree with both of these comments. Save your money and get the best you can buy after much research.

Not to mention that DSN's sprung Ti crowns are as close to gen as anything I've ever seen out there.

Really hard to find a so called perfect one but this is close.

The only really awful thing about this one is the swiss under the 6 is just too close.
This one from WatchEden is better but the dial is a little weak, everything else looks good though,

Not bad but not stunning either

If I were you I wouldn't buy from the Twins. Josh and Andrew used to be approuved dealers here at RWI, but they've been banned. Many topics on this: use your 'search' function to find out the whole story.

that does not discount "the twins" with having good or decent products --- i like tony and his crew at watcheden and all his affiliate sites; let the buyer decide who he/she wants to buy from and address the question and leave the twins situation out. i due to my company fire wall i cannot see the websites

the banning of the twins and the subsequent actions of the mods/admins is not the topic of this thread so why crap on it

You might be right, but what the 'Twins' do is wrong!!!!
And new members should be aware of the wrong doing of those guys.
As a noob I bought from them, I'm happy with what I got, a nice Pam 036 for 240$ (it was when there was a shortage of Ti case), but since I bought other Pam for the same price but I got Swiss movement in and sapphire on front and back. Basically the twins had me pay double. Of course It's no scamming, just a little screwing.
