  1. Thanks guys.

    Here's an update. My back up DSSD got here today and that's the one I'm keeping. Keeps excellent time and nothing has come off yet. :unsure:

    IMPORTANT: TIGHTEN YOUR CASEBACK -_- before start wearing this watch! They seem to be only put on by a weak hand on both the ones I got. :thumbdown:

  2. That is a nice looking watch. Only problem I see is that darn "10" on the bezel insert. That is such and easy fix, I can't understand why they can't make it right. OH! I know, that will be the next edition of the ultimate, absolute greatest DSSD ever made, Version V5.01.02

    Great watch and hopefully that little "spare part" isn't something essential.

    Thanks

    The lost part is this little devil. Doesn't seem to do anything..? :unsure:

  3. This one arrived in the post yesterday. Well packed.

    I kick started the watch and set the time. It ran for about 2 minutes and stopped :black_eye:

    The caseback was not tightened and I could easily access the case by simply unscrewing it with my fingers - when I did that I found this little piece rattling inside the watch :g:

    Having decided that this wasn't of any importance to the movement I grease up the seals and tightened the caseback to the usual duct tape standard torque.

    That issue being out of the way we can carry on with some pictures of the beauty:

    (Pics done with mobile phone - please refer to Lani's brilliant review of the watch)

    Certainly a leap forward with the new date window :victory:

    The clasp - a masterpiece :winkiss:

    Having resized the bracelet AND LOCTITED ALL SCREWS (remember this!!!)

    Some say the bracelet should have been wider for this model - but that is exactly one of the details I find brilliant in the design. Makes the watch look nice and chunky :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    And the lume is very very good :good:

    All in all one of the best reps out there. Your choice to go with the clone 3135 like this one or save a few bucks and have an ETA. I don't suppose that anyone else will get a watch with loose parts inside so probably no worries there.

    Andrews service and despatch was as always brilliant. Shipping to EU is no problem for Trusty - And noobs remember Andrew does NOT own the scam site www.trustytime.co.uk

    Thanks :pardon:
