I was a little bored today since I've been sick all weekend, so I thought I'd throw together a quick 002 review since I got this lil guy back.
Disclaimer: This review is only on the DSN dial, case and caseback. Crown and crownguard are from a 3rd party and don't ask me who, cause I don't know. Dial has also been relumed by Goin and the movement serviced.
Dial
1. Size of "LUMINOR" is incorrect, too tall by half an mm. Furthermore, printing is done in a lighter white or only one coat thus not making it stand out as much as it should
2. Same thing as "1" for "PANERAI"
3. Shape of R is incorrect
4. Shape of 6 tail is incorrect, a little thick (though this could be due to the relume)
5. DSNs lume application on this stock is not that great, a little glossy and too white for a T dial plus it doesn't really glow much
1.Also, DSN's dial has a small groove around the numbers, not that obvious as his 082/195 dials, but still there if seen very up close. The gen has raised numbers like DSN's but no groove (Depending!)
Caseback
Missed it in my first look. Gen has 30ATM, DSN has 300m
Case
Standard DSN case which in this case isn't too bad.
Crown & crownguard
I'm taking the above pic from my previous 040B review just to illustrate how crap DSN's stock stainless steel crowns are. Way too much bevel on them.
DSN's crownguards for the A-F series arn't too bad, a little thin, but overall ok, but nothing like a JFu and gen. They differ from the preggie CGs of Pre-Vs and G-series onwards.
All up, to get this close to gen, a swap of the crown, crownguard and relume are required. The font is something you can't change and just hope that a new version comes out in future, other than that, its a stunner.
