New Davidsen DSN Pam 111H

[mrsato1]

All I can say is WOW!!! It is Friday morning and the postman just brought me the package from Davidsen-DSN Hong Kong. It took a total of eight calendar days from the day I paid (last Thursday afternoon) via Western Union until today. Great communication, tricky payment options, but product was delivered as promised. The product (newest PAM 111H fully modded) was well protected. As I opened the package there was a little bonus suprise...an extra strap (rubber Panerai) with a set of spring bars. Wow! Was it worth the research, anxiety and the wait. Hell yeah!

While I was waiting for delivery I purchased a strap from TC Straps (Toscana Vintage Cordovan in Tan with sewn in Shiny Pre-V buckle) http://www.tcstraps.com/product/TCV_Cordovan_TanBr.html . Not cheap, but it's only money. I think it looks nice on this type of watch.

The AR coating is not bad, only a slight blue/purple-ish can be seen at just the right angle. I still may have Chieftang re-do the AR coating. The texture on the dial is great. The text is slightly off, but hardly noticable. Check out the "L SWISS MADE L" distancte from the 6. The numerals are very good. Check out the "2" and "6". Minor issues the CG has a little tiny ding in it (maybe I can ask Davidsen DSN for a replacement CG) and there are two tiny scratches movement. This is supposed to me a Swiss 6497 movement, but the shock protection is NOT Incabolic. Overall I am very happy with the purchase and I will probrably get another item from Davidsen DSN very soon. Thanks again for everyone's help and advice. PICS below.

One question for the experts..Is this the correct high cannon pin? Should it have this "nipple", or should it be flat and polished?

************************UPDATE 10/13/09
I sent photos of the damaged CG to Davidsen DSN and he is sending out a new CG for free. That is awesome service! I highly recommned Davidsend DSN for his products, service and professionalism.

congratulations on your purchase. Its evident that you have read up and researched quite a bit. I too am a new member and sometimes I feel greater satisfaction just have to excercised some dicipline and used the search function rather than asking questions frivolously. At least yours resulted in a nice pick-up there.

I have been contemplating one of these as can be seen from my sig. You have taken some lovely pics there with your d40. However I cannot see too much of the unitas / eta. or Incabloc / Novodiac springs.

Closeup would be appreciated.
I realise you may not have the time to do it (and you probably already are aware of how to do it) but just in case heres a sticky written by Jelly on how to get your pics up here:-

Congratulations! Nice watch...looks good on that strap.

Edit- A swiss 6497 uses Novodiac not Incabloc. I think.
@jvd45- What looks upside down to you?

Your pictures

cool QuinetiQ can see that it isnt upside down after all. Was checking it out on that rubbish screen of my phone. The display window caseback text is upside down.. the mvt is correct in relation to CG. With care you could get that CG pin more spot on.
makes me want to pull the trigger on one right away!

bought a couple last week so it will have to wait for a bit.

yes the text fonts are off... but that is sweet l swiss made l placement, I will not even consider any china panerai reps. DSN is the basic entry for a pam reps IMHO.

yes it is a swiss movement.. there is a novadiac shock protection system in place.. congrats.

I've got my DSN PAM111H just yesterday, it does have couple flawness, mainly scratches, one long thin scratch quite noticeable on bezel above CG.
The AR coating is just like your, slight blue/purple-ish.But i still think it is also quite noticeable, so i am do something with the crystal.
which text fonts are off? all of them? i can only noticed the R is off.

N'.....How much is a gen CG?

Too bad neither of your DSN Swiss movements came with the Incabloc plate pictured in that link, seems like nobody offers those anymore with the branded movements.
