Question: it's a lefty meaning to wear on left or for left hand to wear on right?

(omg.... wrong thread reply.. can i blame tapatalk?

 

[kaniel]

lefty = left handed people = wear on the right .

destro = wear on the right (too).

Lefty/destro= crown/pushers/cg on the left side of the case.




Normal watches (wear on left wrist and with the crown/pushers/cg on the right side) aren't called anything I think... All "normal" watches supposed to be made for wearing on left wrist.

Hi guys. Recently I have begun to love the 243, but I have heard it is discontinued.
From what I understand, the 243 is almost the same as the 24 but using the 1950 case.Therefore I think that I will buy a 24 instead. (I suspect the 1950 case will look to big anyway)

What is the best currently made 24? DSN? I really don't want a horrible blue AR, and it needs to have a thick date font.

PAM243 and PAM024 have different cases shape, 243 uses the fiddy shaped case while the 024 uses case similar to a 111 or 005.

Robert @ Time4Direct has a nice PAM024 with Asian21J movt, I had to remove the AR though as I find the blue hue too strong.

And i also got the PAM243 from Robert, he had these last year and might have ran out of stock.

Also check Lay for the 243.
They are on his site, but I dont know about his stock levels:

Here is my 243, just to show it off again

I checked with him and he is out of stock.

The 243 is awesome, but I think I need to buy something right now to calm down and not be so stressed over missing the sale. The 24 would be perfect as consolation while looking for the 243

Since the case is different I might even keep it even when I find the 243

In case you're looking for T4D's listing for the PAM024 J, here it is.

Continuing an old thread. Recent purchase from DSN. Can't stop admiring this beast.
Sharing some pics i took on iPhone. Cheers.

I recently got a submersible locally, nice and clean though i think it's a fantasy model.

say a 025 with modded markers?

 

[notreallyreplica]

Played with a gen 24L today, must say I do like it a tiny bit more than the 25. However, I am still in love with my 25a franken!

Rejoining the club, here's the latest DSN PAM 024a

 

[frankt8242]

Toro Bravo, A TD on a few other sites offers this: >>>

"Sort of", 024 ....:

It has a brushed rather than polished case, and the caseback is the type from the 199, but at $79.00, it's a very solid watch from the "H" factory...
Here it is on a "Suppaparts" mesh bracelet I originally bought for my Plopper, but now prefer it on my 24...:

BTW, I prefer the brushed case style over the highly polished one on a watch designed as a "divers tool" model....
But I'm not a perfectionist like many folks here!!:wub::wub:

 

[Esterhazy]

Finally found one of these curiously intriguing watches for myself.

DSN 24a with the following mods:
*-Correct Sapphire w/ 6mm Cylcops/No AR like Gen
*-Taka V2 DW Installed
*-T48v1 Crown Installed
*-Installed replacement A7750 High-Beat Movement
*-Swiss Canon Pinion Installed.
*-Superlumed DSN dial has nice even "T"-esque lume, like the Gen
*-Bezel tightened
*-Flattened CG Pin
*-Reshaped the lugs, so that they are extremely close to gen.
*-On Dk Brown Orloff Croc 24/24 strap

the un surrounded indices .???

Not the "a" version. I believe that some other, later, 24 versions do. Look at the 24L pictured a few post back (#131) and that also doesn't have the black indices on the bezel (or is that the 25 - as it has the brushed case, maybe it is???). I preferred the indices-less (?) models. I think of these as the HG Wells or Jules Verne version of this watch as they remind me of the porthole of a 19th century steamer.

Definitely a classy look!!..>>>

But being the klutz I am, I'd be spending more time polishing the scratches out than wearing it....:wub::wub:

Coming from long line of clumsy people myself I can relate to that! But then again I can imagine that this watch would also look very good aged. Many of the 'forced aging' outcomes I've seen on rep sites are very attractive. Although I want the polished bits to look polished on my boat, I wouldn't mind a submersible watch looking like its spent a lot of time under water.

Adding a straight shot of the new DSN 024a, in case somebody else is interested in getting it.
