What is the best Cali Dial?

Hi All,

I'd like to ask some advice on which cali dial watch is the "best".

I don't need the best rep, I want the best Cali Dial watch for me.

I want as close to the PAM448 as possible:

47mm case
Cali Dial with vintage lume
Blue hands, or gold hands, with vintage lume
NON-DOMED plexi crystal (like the 372)
Crown doesn't matter

Getat makes one that fits the bill, but I don't think I want to risk the unreliability and 6 week shipping.

I've got a getat and I'm happy with it but if you're up for spending $300 just on the dial, look for rolexfinder on rwg.

How long did Getat take for you? I'm considering using his watch as a base for mods.

Would you mind posting some pictures?

Thanks!!

How does the quality of this one compare against the pam448 with P3000 super movement?

Wow. Great review and an easy read as well. Looking forward to a Cali dial now that I know where it originated.
