  1. Followed Gioarmanis advice on the Gorilla Glue I wish I had the rubber cement advice since I am also into RC cars and use the stuff to glue wheels all the time However... the watch is en route to China to be repaired so when it gets back ill get it off somehow. I used only a few miniscule drops of Gorilla. Thanks guys! Love ya all
  2. Oh perfect.. Joink! Ref NO : 16660 is Sea-Dweller. Thanks jmp Edit: Hmmm the fonts look a bit fat on that one The other ones have much crisper fonts IMO.... Bought this one Watchbandman50 16660 insert
  3. I have looked at that Only thing is I live in Norway, so have to add $10 for shipping (SUCKS) hehe But you can`t put a price on results achieved when done right.
  4. Thanks alligoat $39 out the window for the insert Oh well, live and learn. The Sea-Dweller inserts are much more expensive than the Submariners. (wonder why?) Hope I can pry the broken insert off since i Gorilla glued it in..
  5. Never modded a watch before, and I have to learn from my mistakes I guess. Apart from scre*ing up the pearl and destrying the keyless works.. so i have to change the whole bezel insert again, and send the watch out for repair. I think i did ok The watchmaterial pearl was HUGE compared to the one that came with the insert... and I botched the install. Anyways. You guys can say if i need to mod the CGs more or if it is close enough, and if there is something wrong with the install of the insert (apart from the obvious) have I got enough "lip" or too much?
  6. I think I have the same problem on my SSD clone 3135. Took out the stem and shaved the crown guards. And now the stem will not re engage have I [censored] it up? Is this problem that a watchmaker can fix or am I going to have to get a new movement?
  7. I am in the process of getting a refund form ETZ. I am not satisfied with the new QC pics. Things that they was going to fix have not been done, and I am sick of the whole deal. Unfortunately I think refund is frowned upon at ETZ. So we will have too see what happens. Asked them to fix the ringlock alignment. They have not touched it. I do not want to hijack this thread, But I think it is important to show the same flaws on other watches.
  8. Do anyone have know if the cases and parts of the ET v5.xx DSSD and the new "Ultimate" is interchangeable? If so I wonder if I should source a 316F case to change the 316L case from the v5.xx. That would be one hell of a nice watch I think. But I have heard some rumors that the clone 3135 is different from the normal movements in size? Anyone?
  9. Maybe not EVERYDAY wear But you guys started this
  10. My only annoyance with DSSD and this is directed at Rolex and not the rep..... I Wish they would have used a 22mm bracelet instead of a 20mm. The watch would have looked SOOO much better! IMHO And maybe some hard core rivets in the bracelet Yum yum. If they are to go big, they should go BIG on all the aspects.
  11. + 1 on new QC pics... Guess it will take while before it is in my hands Pls give us some pics when you get the thing.
  12. That`s what I am trying to find out with my own eyes The main reason I bought the new one opposed to the old one! The main thing I was worried about was the dimensions because the "old" "super" was whery good. And I hope they haven`t fcuk`d the new one
  13. Check Lanikais post dude!! Find out for yourself
  14. 316F steel is much closer to genuine Rolex! So the finish and "glow" will be nicer than the normal ETA version. That`s why
  15. Have anyone of you bought the new "super" Sea-Dweller with Rolex Clone... I ordered one because of the 316F steel used in the case and bracelet. Want to mod it with new bezel insert and pearl + shave CG`s. F*ck the clone movement, as long as it keeps decent time I am satisfied BUT I want to know if the dimensions are equal or similar to the past version? And maybe you have some photos to share?
  16. I WISH I could get a gun.... In Norway they are impossible to get, and if you do there is a LOAD of papers you have to have, and no one is allowed to carry it on his/her person at ANY time... And I really really want a Walther P99
  17. I totally agree. Offcourse I am not retracting ALL my statements The ringlock is still off, and the dial could be better (being changed) And yes! The QC is lacking when it crops up all over the board. However... I will post the new QC pictures when they come (If they come) And you should PM Helina or Neo about not getting new QC pics. Unacceptable!!!!
  18. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RETRACTION : I think there is a lot of artifacts in the pictures on this page. The crown seems ok on ET`s pages!!!!!!!! I have been in contact with the QC department, and they WILL fix all the flaws... And afterwards I will get a high resolution shot directly from the front... Will post that so you can see if they did a good job The customer service have been very kind to me at least, and they really apreciate the illustrations I sent so they can grasp the problems. It is imperative to explain correctly when dealing with QC issues IMO.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  19. Helina. I am always patient when it comes to getting a good product It is good you have pictures we have to have a look at before you ship items out... I will rather wait to get a good watch than be impatient and get a flawed watch.
  20. Good catch MAHLER..... New mail on the way to QC dept!!
  21. Correct Mahler As you can see the ringlock is off by a bit
  22. Can you guys have a look at order #970 at ET site.. I think the ringlock is off... the K in lock is not centered with the 6 marker.... That`s the only thing I can see that is at fault with it. Give me your feedback pls Thanks guys
  23. I would cry if my watch was like that! I am having serious doubts about my watch now...... I expect to see QC pictures any day now from ET. Crossing my fingers!!!
