DMT D8XX A Little Light in the Diamonds?

[Gshock300]

my dmt extra extra course doesnt look as heavily populated as that pic either.
Ive got bare spots all over the place as well.

here are some pics of mine using a digital camera -- not nearly as crisp as the scanner pic. tough to see, but its very uneven...

Mine appears much the same. I'm not concerned, however.

Same here. Mine looks like that. It works great so far, so I'm happy with it.

That's good to hear. I wonder if its just the scanner that makes Vaselli's D8XX look so much more uniform in layering.

Anyone else have a D8XX? How uniform does yours appear to be? Pics are always helpful, if possible.

My plate still cuts very well, but again it seems almost defective when compared to Vaselli's.

That may be the case. In my case, if I look at it with the light reflecting off of the nickel, creating sort of a negative, it looks crazy covered with diamonds. It's when I check it at an angle without a glare that I can analyze it. I get it that it is going to be a little uneven, but the part that keeps me concerned is that it is very densly covered at each end and then it seems to get lighter, or the overall diamond size is slightly smaller in the center three or four inches. If it didn't change like this over the long surface of the stone, then the increase in the holes in the center wouldn't bother some much.

The center of mine looks like the second photo on this page while the ends(about an inch on each) look thick like Vasilli's scan. I also have much more of the holes in the center with very few on the ends.
