Pam183H dial dilema DSN, or Joshua?

[Jetjosh]

Here is another one for the resident experts. I'm building a pam183H, and am combining the best of a couple watches. Where I am stumped, is on the dial.

I have a Dial from Joshua which has nice cut outs, and is a nice deep black, and then I have a DSN dial which I hear great things about. I know that the DSN has a more accurate font, and the 6 is the correct shape for the 183, but my problem is, the dial is almost a milky grey vs. a nice black. I don't know if it comes through in the pictures, but it is extremely noticeable next to the black hands. Second problem, the cut outs are nice and sharp, but are super thin.... not sure if thats more gen or not, but my inexperienced eye prefers the bolder cutouts.

So... which dial would you use Josh with nice deep black matching hands, but off 6, and font, or DSN with milky grey color........ or is there a better dial I can easily purchase?

As always I appreciate your input and time, Thanks!

I think at the end it will come down to your personal preferences. Both have their flaws, the real question is: which flaws will bother you to death and which will bother less?

Personally, I'd go with DSN, and would try to raise the dial from the baseplate a bit, so it would have a very similar effect than the cartel with deep cut-outs.

How is the lume and lume color of of them? Hands are matching in lume color with both?

Maybe the best sandwich dial for 183 is from Noob factory

OCD and reps don't go together haha
if only that dsn dial was BLACK. Does noob make a 183? I had a hard time finding anyone with 183's in stock. Seems its post popularity as its a bit older.

Both dials are super lumed. Lume matches hands and dials well. Dsn dial itself just doesn't match hands :/

so new question how accurate is the cartel case? I have searched the web for pictures of gen, and it's just hard to tell. Are the edges on the cartel case a little to sharp and squard off?
