Just arrived - Damasko DA38

stonehead887 · Post by **stonehead887** » Fri Jan 19, 2018 4:46 am

Well after a bit of a cock up with ordering, my Christmas present has finally arrived. Damasko DA38 on leather. Absolutely love it. 40mm case and 20mm lugs, super comfortable. Great specs with ice hardened case and double AR.
I have the Damasko bracelet incoming for it too but the leather strap is good and the blue stitching a nice touch.
This watch has been reviewed so on to the pics

Have always wanted to try one of these but I am dog chasing a squirrel - yours looks awesome

Congratulations from another Damasko fan.
They look great and are virtually indestructible.

Congrats! I'd really love to see pics and hear your feedback on the bracelet when it comes.

I've had my DA36 for so many years now...bought it when Damakso first offered it. It still looks basically new with the ice-hardened steel. Held up very well.

Congrats! They're great little watches I've had both the DA47 and DA46 versions

The non-chrono models are the ones to own. I like the blue hand too.

This looks great

When I’m done with my Sinn binge, Damasko is next in line

Badass watch! Enjoy

I have really been enjoying this one so far. Getting in to some of the finer details; the case finish is super smooth and very tactile. Visually it looks like it may have a rough finish but it almost feels 'soft... only way I can explain it. I really appreciate the fine and narrow taper on the lug ends, they almost come to a sharp point. Dial is super clear, lume is ok, if it had Armida strength lume, it would be killer.
The strap is softening up nicely already and has nice added detail of small leather flap under the buckle. Looking forward to getting the bracelet strap and will see if I can do a bit of a review when it comes in.

Congrats. Had one for awhile. Great watch but my DA44 won over the 38. The bracelet fit on both so that was nice. Just wait until that crazy bracelet arrives....German engineering.

Seems like a great daily with the size/hardened case, congrats on that pickup!

Congratulations. I’ve been thinking of picking up a DA43 for a while.

I was just thinking about white dials and that looks great

I enjoyed the DA37, but always wanted the 43.

Gonna bump this one. Bracelet has now arrived and it's great. Engineering is amazing but I am having trouble sizing it so hoping someone here can help me. Got the Torx tool and unscrew both sides but that's as far as I get. It looks like there is still a tube that holds the links together but blowed if I know how to remove it. I have been going cross eye looking down the tube and it looks like it has an Allen key shape. Is that right? Do I need another tool? (Lord knows what that question will illicit...). Any help will be appreciated
Cheers

Great looking watch, and engineered like no other. Just an overall winner.

Well done.

Got the bracelet sizing worked out. This thing is ridiculously well engineered. I still can't fit bracelet yet, it has solid end links and tolerances are so tight the spring bar won't even pop in a little. I need a tool to compress both ends at the same time

Sounds like a nightmare to remove it.
