    Brilliant! Fabulous watch and an even better movement in that one. Enjoy.

    I’ve been after a damasko for ages, full lume preferably, so this seemed difficult to resist, it’s going to be worn a lot I think.

    I like it. I wonder if they'd fit a set of DC56 hands if compatible. Although I like the usefulness of the bezel on the DC86 the smaller size of the 76 makes it more wearable (for me). However my only criticism, which I've mentioned before re the 86, is the 24hr indicator, if only it could be independently settable as a GMT hand.

    After many years of my Damaskos being B&W I've added some colour with various Haveston canvas straps. Here's the latest . . .

    If the 24hr subdial on this was independantly settable I'd sell my DC56 and Voyager and replace them with one. I asked Damasko about this a while ago and they hinted that such developments might be happening in the future. Absolute perfection wouid be having the hour and minute hands from a DC56 fitted, if possible. Meanwhile, back to the OP, DC56 with nicely faded Haveston Bakelite-F . . .

    I'm faintly amazed to hear Damasko think they could add what in effect would be a UTC/GMT module on top of what is already a 7750 with an additional centre-minutes module - makes me wonder if they have their own chrono movement in the pipeline. Totally agree it would be a fantastic feature. For sure they can fit the DC56 hands - they're very good with custom orders.

    BTW have you seen the mk2 versions of the DC76 and DC86? -



    The older style DC76 and DC86 are still available alongside them, for now...

    New Arrival. DSUB 1.
    Been searching for a couple of months.
    Also purchased a Hirsch Robby and fitted the original Damasko buckle.

    Probably my favourite watch for now.

    Dealer also had a DSUB 2. Would have liked the pair. But it got sold while I was filling in my details on line.

    I spotted a DSUB1 and DSUB2 on the bay. Decent value.

    Love it, wish they'd stuck with that dial layout for DSub2 and 3, tho' I prefer the 'Plongeur' hands of those..

    You're right. The cross hair dial with the added text was missing on the DSub2 and DSub3 and it really didn't make any sense. Damasko nailed it first time with the DSub1.

    The Hirsch Robby perfectly matches the watch (mildly biased as I wear exactly the same combo - serial number 19 bought from SC a couple of years ago). I thought the price looked really good on eBay. Other design features that I like on the Dsub1 are the more pronounced bezel notches, and the submarine engraving on the case.

    I haven't tired of mine and hope you get as much pleasure!

    Picked this up recently, and I still can't get on with the Damasko bracelet, so on a seatbelt-style NATO now. A good winter watch.

    Nice, perfect daily I'd get a Nick Mankey 'Hook Strap' or Watch Steward 'Original Series' that you can wear double-looped (no material between wrist and caseback) - more comfort, less height.
