The DA46 has more wrist presence than its additional 1.9mm bezel diameter alone would indicate.
I posted it at WUS forum too but it might be help for those who don't read WUS so here we go.
I took some pictures to compare both.
Maby it could help to decide which one you want to buy.
And AR shot:
According to Damasko news they changed glass producer and there is no AR magic blue reflection in new models.
You can see it from the picture.
AR works great but i miss it.
Good that i have both (old and new AR) : )

I think you've just convinced me that the DA46 will be my next Damasko :-) Thanks for the comparison !
Don't know my Damasco ref's, but the one with the rotating bezel is really nice.
(Kudos for the synchronised seconds BTW!)
Thanks to share these pictures.
I've convinced myself to try a white Damasko for this new year.
The one without the rotaty bezel.
I really like the DA36. Thanks for sharing!
I have a 56 and I wish it had the blue.
However I am a not a fan of the bezel, preferring the cleaner look of the other.
Both looks great, but prefer the aviator over the diver.
Thanks for the pics.
I like these watches, thanks for the comparison photos. I am really torn between the DA36 and a Stowa A dial flieger. The DA36 has a beautifully finished case that has good water resistance and a perfect size. I am just not convinced I can live happily with a day-date watch (too much upkeep when not worn everyday) or that yellow seconds hand. Even so, I still want one...
What do you mean by upkeep? Do these complications cost a lot to service?Originally Posted by Saxon007
I'm happy that i helped all of you : )
To me day-date is the thing that makes this watch more special.
And second hand is so unique.
It is green, yellow or few other colours depending from weather and sun.
They should bring back the blue. Thanks for mentioning it as I could not find it on mine no matter where I turned the face.
Explains why the missing blue on mine was never actually there!
Two more pictures for DA46 lovers : )
You went for the 12 hour bezel on the 46. That's my choice too. Makes a great travel watch.
Agreed.
The 36 does look nice & clean, by comparison though.
Tough choice between the 2 I'd say.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
Both look great. Funds permitting, I would get the DA46 and instead of the DA36 I would get the Stowa Flieger.
I finally take a DA47
And feel very happy with this beauty
When Damasko launched the DA36 in 2006, they agreed to allow me to do an introductory price of £415. I've lost track of prices, how much are they now?

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
£900....... Considering the rate of inflation over the last 8 years that is pretty good going!
£900 from Page and Cooper.
I have a long standing debate with myself whether I should sell my
DA36 Black
and my DC67
and replace them with a DA46, no, a DA46 Black or a DA47, or a DC56 maybe. The problem is that I like all the combinations... Then there is the 'soon' to be introduced bracelet. I like the 'black' watches, but not sure about a black bracelet (if it is ever released), which takes me to a DA46 on bracelet (again). But, then black DA46 on bracelet might be really cool, I just don't know...
Then I would have to think about the bezel...
My god, this is a real first world problem, just not sure how I am going to manage (or I can do nothing too...)
I've always preferred the cleaner look of the DA36. I find the bezel of the DA46 just a bit too busy.
I like more the cleaner look of the DA36...
The 36 for me... great watch

Like comparing a carrot and a radish, similarities but very different. Do you want a diver or not, that's the question.
I Had one in last year for service and I wasn`t over-impressed. The rotating bezel lacked the nice 'feel' of a quality watch.

I like the engineered, severe styling of the Damaskos, their instrument quality legibility and the heft and tactile feel of that case steel. I suppose it's a slightly nerdy appeal for me.
But I don't find them easy to wear, with their high slab sides and unsubtle dials - like I need to be in Action Man mode to carry off the look they convey.
For this reason I prefer the smaller models without rotating bezels.
36 for me - original and the best.
The Damasko never pretends to be a "nice" watch, it's a tool watch and engineered as such. The actual rotating bezel may not have the 'feel' of a 'nice' watch but it is very precise and firm. Let's put it this way, I know what watch I'd use if I had to rely on the bezel feature and it would be the Damasko every day of the week.
Agree with that and that's a great photo by the way!
I got mine from Page and Cooper as I guess some others did on here and there service was excellent. Just a great watch to wear.
For me it's neither of these, but rather the DA34, as I cannot stand watches with Arabic dials. It's been a looong time since I had to count my way around the markers to be able to tell the time.
