Anybody have one of these? Just about to put my order in to Davidsen for one with all updates. Any problem I should know in advance with the gmt? It's a asian 7750 b1 movement. I know the 111h is beautiful but this ti just suits me. Ultimate 111h next one.

No problems with the GMT movement that I know of.

According to the tracking info, mine should be arriving this afternoon. :D

The only problem about DSNs titanium cases, that I noticed, are the bezels. Where the genuine bezel tapers nicely into the case, the DSN bezel has a high ridge that "drops" to the case - giving it a boxier look. I believe the font on the date wheel is thicker on the genuine, as well. The thinner font doesn't bother me as much as the bezel drop, though.

Other than that, DSN seems to have the best 089 available without mods.

You got the right one. DSN's 089 is best out of box, and the date font is practically as good as you can get.
SUnken datewheel is the only issue but there is no way out of that, even on the "Ultimate" now rebadged "Best Version" 088 from the cartel


This is what you need for the ultimate 089

DSN 089 dial and case, sapphire, crown
hands, movement, crownguard and datewheel from ultimate cartel 88

~800 and there you go!
