Hi,

Just trying to rationalise the price quoted by Davidsen and Hont for Pam 177h

DSN $400+

Hont $200+

Specs in favour of DSN in terms of super lumed dial
Specs in favour of Hont Swiss Unitas 6497-2 swan's neck vs DSN's 6497-1

Other specs remain similar:
Sapphire with AR coating
Titanuin case

Appreciate it if anyone out there bought a similar watch from Hont out there can verify if the Swiss movement is real as claimed?

the lume job alone is worth the dough, trust me, if you get one without lume, you will be anally trying to get it lumed and in the end will cost you more money.

DSN has better dials in this case and a better caseset

Re: Pam 177H (DSN's vs Hont's) or maybe DSN Pam036

DSN's Pam-036 seems to be cheaper.

I'm now contemplating to change to a Pam-036. Anyone bought a Pam-036 from him in the last couple of months? :)

i bought a PAM036 from DSN with swiss Movement. You need only a CG-Pin Mod, done by VAC. The watch is amazing....! If you look for watch with big Lume, than choose DNS's Fiddy.....

DSN's PAM036 (swiss movment) ~ 480 USD

Very nice, I love the tobacco dial combined with a ti case. I'm probably going to order this from him while I'm waiting for my other DSNs to be replaced. Have you had a look at the 091 or 165, they're next in line for me :)

Also, are you sure that Hont's price is for the Swiss version?

Hont quoted USD260 for a Swiss ETA version. If I've not mistaken, he source for those watches and I can only keep my fingers crossed they are real Swiss parts.

There again, it'll be great if someone who got similar watches from him recently can verify that

Any supporters for Hont? 8)

This is actually the first time I've heard of this dealer, so can't say anything about them.
