How about the IWC F.A. Jones?

How are the endlinks on these compared to the noob? If I understand correctly the endlinks are to "protrude" a bit from the lugs. Seems to me they do not do that very much.

Good to hear about the steel, I guess we all just want it as good as it gets.

I noticed the difference in triangles earlier today aswell. But with an endlink fit like that I think I am going to have to go with BK myself, a real dealbreaker for me!

Thanks. The dial marker rims on Trevors look very good!

Nice! I still haven't decided which DSSD to go for but BKs version looks amazing. The fit of those endlinks seems perfect.

Is it just me or is the top of the pearl triangle a bit curved on the Gen. I thought it was supposed to be flat...

Strap looks top notch!

That was quite interesting. Now I have no clue!

If you could do that it would be great! That should clerify and sheed some light on this matter. I think it is a bit like Jkay said a few posts ago. Maybe all new DSSD are made of the same steel, and that someone found ETZ old stock that was made of an even brighter steel and are now selling those. If jake48 can take a comparison pic that should clear things up a bit.

I just went to check BKs DSSD thread on RG and saw that he has just updated the description. He states: "according to the factory and other dealers, the steel is 316L or 316F. My point is this the same steel as what other dealers claim, the best the factory offers" Then I guess all is well, BKs DSSD should have the right bright/white shine to the steel. Like the right watch in the post a bit above. Or have I totally got things wrong this time?

So if I understand this correctly v5 2010 and v5 Ultimte are two different versions? If the v5 Ultimate is the Noobfactory one, is that the one that BK offers?

These are the pics that got me thinking. The difference in shine is quite obvious, and for me this is quite an important issue. I have no problem paying for BKs DSSD, but if the steel is this different between Trevors and the Noob DSSD I might as well get Trevors and send it to BK for him to do his magic. Might cost me a bit more but the result should be worth it. Anyone have a comparison shot of BKs Noob and Trevors? That should settle it once and for all.

The steel brightness looks really good on Trevors DSSD. I have been eyeing BK version for a couple of days and decided to check the rest of the lineup. Any thought on the steel on Trevors vs. BKs?
