DSA it is!
So here’s my choice:
It did speak to me more for the following reasons:
1.Vintage charm without the hassle and problems associated with one, together with the agony of trying to hunt one down.
2. The right size and proportions with modern materials that are finely executed throughout, recreating the original with an even better finish.
3.The execution of the matt dial, smooth bezel with contrasting polished & brushed sides gives it a quality feel.
4. Perfect size - anything bigger than the 40.5mm would definitely not be to my taste.
5.Love the plexiglass and the way it’s shaped (slightly domed) and flushed with the bezel.
6.The added bonus of the alarm, which is a first for me. However, I’m a bit baffled by the graduation of the minutes. Not a big issue though.
7.The watch is lighter than it looks and is very comfortable IMO.
Finally, this forum and many of its esteemed members have provided much fuel for thought and I thank you. Need I mention Mr.666 and his evil ways – the many provocative examples in his fine stable have led many into TEMPTATION – including me! 
Some quick pics. And I’m hoping someone else will provide better ones in due course.
I’m sure more are on the way.
Thank you for looking and have a good evening.
Cheers
Fernando
PS. I haven't given up on the AP yet.

Awesome choice!
Congratulations! All good points, and I must say you came to a much quicker conclusion than I usually do. ;-) May it time only happy moments. Best, respo P.S. I hope you get the AP, too.
Thank you respo...
for the kind words and for your patience. It's always a pleasure to share these happy moments with forum members such as yourself. Best fernando
Once again, you were faster than me, my friend. :))))
Mine has arrived, but I have to fund it... What an honor to count you in the TT DSA Gang Club. Not only it is very dear to my heart, it is also, and, most important, a superb watch with a fine case and a very appealing dial. The cherry on the cake? The wa...
faster ..no
Way behind, trying hard to catch up with you. You have enough watches in this type of genre, including the original DSA to be able to afford to wait a little. Which version for you - or both? It's my first alarm and I'm having fun playing with it. I like ...
Both versions for me, Fernando.
Like for the Tribute To Polaris, I am not able to say that I prefer one over the other, so I have to get both. You're right, I can wait a bot before getting mine, I know where it is and that it waits for me, so it is ok. I just hope I'll be able to get it...
Wow, both versions.
with the same no. ? You see, you are always way ahead. Your enthusiasm is very contageous my friend Not my first JLC but first in 4 years. best fernando
As for the number, I don't know.
What I know is that I will get Nr 7 on the Europe, but which number on the US? Hmmm. Best, Nicolas.
congrats on the DSA!
and nice to see another joining the ranks of the DSA lovers... though that RO is pretty hard to give up... Congrats and wear it in best of health...
The right choice.
Although the AP was not bad either. I lok forward to getting my DSA. Best regards, George
Congrats on your choice..!!
Look forward to more wrist shots and your opinion in due course Yours, Andy.
Thanks Andy
It was hard to let the AP go ...but there's always next time Enjoy yours! cheers fernando
Congratulations, Fernando!
That is one cool watch that looks even cooler on your wrist! I am in a similar conundrum, but too early still to commit to one candidate yet. Maybe by late summer? Enjoy it, my friend! Thanks for taking us along your decision process. All the best, Alex
You're too kind Alex
Glad you were able to share in the 'agony & ecstasy'. It's a good conundrum to experience and I'm sure the right one will always land in your way eventually. Look forward to what transpires in due course. Pls. keep us posted. Thanks! fernando
++1.. Could not agree more with your choice.. Give her a good life !
- Liked your rationale .. But lots of emotions connected, as well, with this one .. ) BTW, the 'light' feeling on the wrist is indeed very comfortable. - Some personal first impressions, (on top what has been extensively posted) as well: Along to that, I ...
You are spot on ...
with all your observations hs. I noticed the lume last night and was pleasantly surprised by the appearance. The cricket alarm is also much to my liking - not too loud. The matt dial and indices creates a truly vintage look. The case finishing is as you s...
I won $10!
Congrats mate, enjoy the watch. I ordered the US version, and am waiting. Best, Horo
You did ...
Is that HKD,Sing or USD? Anyway, drinks are on me mate. Hope you get your US version soon but I hear they will be out a bit later. A good choice as they will be more exclusive. Best fernando
thks for that!
The US version supposedly to deliver to me last month, but still hasn't appeared. I am waiting for that and also collect the BP FF on same day....yes, I am a horo-slut. Best, Horo
Wait ... A FF. This you gotta show me.
I want full details. Uncensored.... Best Tyler
Yes, in due course.
I am adamant on picking both up on same day. So the watch has been waiting for me at the boutique. Best, Horo
A modern one I see. Are you are doing my cousin?
Of course I'm referring to a watch Regards Tyler...
Very, very nice!
I didn't see this post before replying to your another post on HoMe, but I was right So, how does the strap feel? Comfortable enough? Does it really look cheapy? Congrats to you, from my heart! Ken
Thanks so much Ken.
The watch wears very comfortably especially for smaller wrists as the watch is not too large and on the light side. The strap wraps the wrist well as the leather is supple and not very thick. I could live with it but I'm looking at alternatives as we spea...
It was on my JLC short list before buying my Lange
It was quite difficult to have one quickly in Paris, then I discovered the 1815 and made my choice. I guess we'll see pictures during a Friday wristscan session soon ! Best, Mark
Thanks Ruckdee
Would have been better if I had waited until the sun went down. Pics. came out too bright so had to edit a little best fernando
Congrats and enjoy the Beauty...
For now. Leave the AP for another day to cherish. Looks superb on your wrist. Ed
You did the right choice, Fernando!
The TT DSA is a winner in my book. There will always be another AP, but never another DSA… Give her a good life, my friend! Best Blomman
