I prefer this style myself...

Me thinks you're on the wrong forum... Here, try this: http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showthread.php?t=83107 Persoanlly, I've been considering going the bow tie route myself, this just got me thinking about it again.

These shots have me all excited about getting one for myself. This biggest downfall for me on this style has been the size, but this one should do the trick... Thanks for sharing

No Original Box Or Paperwork

IT'S FAKE!!!! The tell is the off center date wheel as seen in the last pics!!!! Sorry, the only way I knew to make myself feel better, I never win anything... Congrats!

Another thing that seems to stand out for me is that the lugs appear to be twice as long on the rep as the gen. The fonts are wrong also- the rep have squared ends where the gen has rounded... Shop price:$255.00........... ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry, but I expected this to be around $99. Sorry if I'm offending anyone whose seriously considering this watch...

You tell 'em Gio! Me, I'm looking forward to the Eurotimez V5.1

I felt the same way you did when I found that site. They get some real high end celebs that use their services...

Too beautiful to wear. I'd be a nervous wreck....

OK, I found it. I've actually seen this a few days ago. I guess I was looking for an actual page that showed a layout similar to the other watches rather than a slide show. From what I can see, it's the best DSSD, period. I've been looking at these for a long time, and have a V3 that has the correct HEV. It'll be nice to get one that finally meets our expectations. Thanks for the follow-up to my post Neo.

I couldn't find it. Did a search for "New V5" and got this response... "No products exist in this category." The anticipation is killin' me. Edit: Found a link on the top bar labeled "New Watches," went to page 19 where the other Rolex's can be found in alphabetical order but didn't find it there yet either.

Wow, I'm impressed with the response above! Two comments from me- first, I'm used to looking for versions labeled 5.1, 5.2, even things like 5.1209 so it doesn't bother me! I've reviewed the latest version of the DSSD on your site with the break down photos and can't wait for this one to be the official final version. The bezel looks much better, the HEV is finally right and on and on. I'll definitely be ordering one as soon as they're available...

As many of us already are aware, many dealers use the same factory photo to sell a watch. A neat tool that may be helpful is a plug-in called Tineye found here. I use this a great deal for my web design and graphic work. It's not perfect, and doesn't always produce a result when you know it should, but it works well enough for me and has helped me out a great deal. No guarantee on what site will pop up, and whether that site will be a dealer you'll want to go through, but it may be helpful in finding other sources or comparing prices. It's available for both Firefox and those that just can't break themselves away from IE. Hope this helps someone!

Sorry, can't help here. Post a sexy photo and you've got my attention...

I finally figured it out by realizing that I had to log in to see it. I'm very hopeful that this will be THE DSSD that puts all others to shame...

gioarmani' date='06 November 2009- This thread sucks. Q: It's incomplete--where are the pictures of the smelting furnaces that produce the steel? Q: What kind of donuts does Rolex spring for on Monday mornings? A: Silly, they don't eat donuts, they eat children... Upper Management Everybody else Q: How do the watch-smiths f*ck their wives outside of work? A: My my, you are inquisitive today...

I really can't take any credit for much more than cut and pasting this... I see so many questions about this watch that I was forced to post this. The thing that gets me is the issue that many reps have with the HE valve, which is as much of a tell as if the watch was pink...

To make things easier for those looking to compare the various rep DSSD's out there, here is everything and more that you need to know about the gen. ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL SEA-DWELLER DEEPSEA TECHNICAL FEATURES CASE ARCHITECTURE AND WATERPROOFNESS A watch developed for extreme depths, guaranteed waterproof to 3,900 metres (12,800 feet), the Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA required the design of a case with a unique architecture, the RINGLOCK SYSTEM. This innovation patented by Rolex consists of a combination of three distinctive features: • The high-performance ring Set inside the middle case of the watch between the crystal and the case back, the high-performance nitrogen-alloyed stainless steel ring withstands the pressure exerted by water on the crystal and the case back. The middle case is made from 904L steel. • The sapphire crystal To resist pressure, the synthetic sapphire crystal is slightly domed and substantially thicker than the crystals of other Oyster models. • The case back The case back is made of a titanium alloy, an extremely resistant stainless material. It is held in place against the high-performance ring by means of a 904L-steel ring. The titanium back is used, not because it is more pressure resistant than steel; in fact it is used because it will flex slightly under extreme pressure and then revert to its original form. • The Helium valve. The helium valve is made of high-performance stainless steel. Its size is adapted to the dimensions of the case to achieve optimal waterproofness. The helium valve is a safety feature, which, during the decompression phase, releases the gases that infiltrate into the watch during caisson dives. Indeed, between dives at great depths, professional divers use pressurised caissons in which they breathe high-pressure gas mixtures, notably containing helium, a very volatile gas that penetrates into the watch. As the diver resurfaces, the helium valve prevents damage to the watch. • The Triplock winding crown. The Triplock winding crown, equipped with three seals and screwed onto the case, completes this ingenious waterproof system. DISPLAY AND LEGIBILITY • The bezel The Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA is equipped with a unidirectional rotatable bezel with a 60-minute graduated black CERACHROM disc that allows the diver to precisely track his dive time. Engraved in the CERACHROM, the numerals and the graduations are filled with platinum through the use of a PVD technique patented by Rolex. The zero marker of the graduated bezel, represented by a triangle, is visible longer at night or in the depths of the ocean thanks to a capsule containing a new luminescent material that emits a blue glow. • The dial To enhance legibility, the gold indexes and hands are wider and partially coated with the same new luminescent material and also emit a blue colour. • The movement The Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA is equipped with calibre 3135, known for its chronometric precision, its reliability and its robustness; it also features a PARACHROM hairspring with high resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. Certified as a chronometer by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), the movement has a 48-hour power reserve. • The bracelet Manufactured from solid 904L steel, the Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA bracelet can be adjusted for wear over a diving suit up to 7 mm thick thanks to a double extension system: • Fliplock extension links, • The new GLIDELOCK clasp, allowing fine adjustments. (see below) • A series of rigorous tests Because deep-sea diving requires absolute reliability and safety, each Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA must pass Rolex's rigorous waterproofness tests. To this end, special equipment has been developed with the help of COMEX (Compagnie Maritime d'Expertise), a world-renowned French company specialising in underwater engineering and hyperbaric technologies. ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL SEA-DWELLER DEEPSEA FUNCTIONING • THE UNIDIRECTIONAL ROTATABLE BEZEL The Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA allows a diver to safely track his dive time thanks to the unidirectional graduated bezel featured on the watch. At the beginning of a dive: Once in the water, before beginning his descent, the diver turns the bezel to align the triangle on the graduated bezel to the minute hand, thus indicating the start time of his dive. During the dive: The dive time can be read against the graduated bezel. Since the DEEPSEA bezel turns only counterclockwise, any accidental rotation can only have the effect of shortening the dive time. • THE GLIDELOCK CLASP The new GLIDELOCK clasp allows for fine adjustments to the bracelet length, up to 18 mm by increments of 1.8 mm, without removing the watch. 1 Pull up the clasp's safety catch. 2 Pull up the centre panel of the clasp cover. The teeth located underneath it become visible. 3 Pull gently on the 12-o'clock side of the bracelet to lengthen it, or slide it into the clasp to shorten it. Adjustments can be made in 1.8 mm increments, up to a total of 18 mm. 4 Once the bracelet has been adjusted to the desired length, close the centre panel. 5 Close the safety catch. The watch weighs 222gms with a case diameter of 43mm. Keep an eye out for Eurotimez New DSSD V5

It looks OK, bad HE valve though... $365! I don't think so!

Wow that looks nice. If it were on my wrist, I couldn't get any work done as I'd be staring at it all day long. Keep in mind that I'd be wearing it flipped around so I could show off the mov't...

I keep hoping for the same thing...

If this were the best version, you'd think they'd include a shot of the He valve, not doing so concerns me. Quite often the wrong one is installed which is the version with the thicker outer ring. Unless they can show the He valve, I'd hold off on this. Maybe someone else has purchased one and has a shot, I haven't searched the forum to see if one has been posted...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! This'll teach me for trying to find something so early in the morning! Thanks for the heads up.
