Dunhill and Davidoff are of the same quality and I think in some eras/models are made by the same company.

If you want save money, but a used Dupont/Davidoff/Dunhill on Craigslist and have it serviced if needed. They all end up leaking, so expect a service every 4-5 years.

The Dupont's can be finicky with the refills.

If used is too much, just buy a fake Dupont. You won't be able to tell the difference other than the material content if even that is different.

A buddy turned me on to a guy in the Netherlands who services and sells vintage lighters - Dupont, Cartier, Dunhill, etc. I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but I've been looking. His IG is @the_lighterhouse

I know a guy who operates out of a '92 gray chevy panel van with obscured license plates who sells vintage dupont lighters too. They are right next to the stack of car stereos.

What a coincidence.

There's a guy in NC that has a great selection of vintage lighters that he repairs and restores. He also services customer lighters. I am sure you can find him on google.
