Is the 165F in this thread worth buying?

Drhulee's collection are great.

Maybe you can ask him to pm you a pic of the watch head showing u the date font under the cyclop.

If the date font is thin. You may want to mod it with taka's A7750 date wheel with bold font.

Another thing I see is the caseback. The text are etched on not engraved. I guess this was from Davidsen's first production batch of caseback.

You may want to email Davidsen to check out his new batch of caseback which has the correct engraving for PAM165.

Good luck

Taiji is right on top of it, as usual.

I would add that even if it is DSN's new datewheel, Taka's is still better and a worthwhile upgrade, IMO.

Looks like a pretty good watch to me.
