Watcher, you said the HEV is just there for looks and is not drilled through the case correct? If so, how is it attached? I surely hope it's threaded in the case and not just, god forbid, glued in the case??

Watch parts section I guess?

The really sad thing is, yes this one has it's issues, but it's still the best rep of the16600 SD available......Is it better than the SSD of old? I'll leave that up to the experts to decide.

Do you have a way to test this for water resistance watcher? Or is there a watchmaker close to you that can test it? The dealers claim 100 meters W/R for this one, needless to say I'm skeptical....

What size do we get? 20mmX1.5?

Wow, this looks MUCH better than my two I bought! I just have to go order a couple more now, dammit! Thanks so much for your tear-down review watcher!

But will he ever have the quanity to keep everyone that wants one supplied? If he only brings back 5 watches at a time we'll be waiting a long time for one.

Awaiting your pics.......I really do hope it's improved with a great rehaut, if so I'll buy 2 more of them.

Wow, hopefully he'll make this right. I've only heard good things about him thus far.......But totally ignoring an issue is NOT the way to handle it.... Good luck.

Thanks for the help Woof! Going there to check em' out.

I'm wanting one of these too, can someone post a link to the watch on Josh's site so I don't get the wrong one? I've already done that once with Angus and his PureTime Comex!!

Is TC going to sell these watches or is it going to be a long process to get one? I read somewhere he only brings back 5 watches at a time, that will take ages to satisfy the forum members needs! Years, I mean.... I would love to have one but I don't want have to wait a couple years to get it. The factories are finally getting better Rolexes reps w/superlume etc. so maybe they will eventually get the cases right?

If it says delivered I bet it was.....Some of the dealers use "runners" to pick the stuff up, chances are he'll ask around and find it.

The bottom one looks like $hit! The hands and dial markers suck.

I was just looking at the "new" SD on Trusty's site. They still list the SSD of old on their site too, after looking at the "old" pictures of the SSD listing I'm pretty sure they are using the old SSD product pictures for the NEW crappy rehaut SD.... Not the QC pics but the thumbnail pics for the new SD... These also look like the EXACT same thumbnail pics that Josh is using on his Perfect Clones site to advertise the new SD too??

AMEN! Preach it brother! All this 1:1 crap or I:1 whatever they are trying to pull..... Seems like every new Rolex model that's come out lately on his site is 1:1 with "geniune watch dissected and used as sample" or "Best rep available" yeah right, this is getting old FAST!

I sure hope you don't get the "new and improved" model that I got from Josh.....

WOW! Excellent find bro! No wonder his eBay store has been idle for a while now. He can save the atrocious ebay fees by selling directly out of his own store. Smart move on his part.

Ingod is about the best option IMO. As far as the hour hand being bigger on the gen hands, I don't think anyone would ever notice that. It took me 2 years of Rolex collecting to finally realise the difference!

I saw these on Oceanic Time a while back, they do nothing for me personally.

Agreed E, they discontinued one of the BEST models they ever made for that BEHEMOTH of a Deep Sea! Don't get me wrong I love the looks of the DSSD but it's too top heavy with that skinny, overtapered bracelet. The 40+/- mm size of the SD was perfect, and for those of us who don't like the cyclops---even better.

This has been said for years now, with the quality of some models of Rolex being so good and all the EXCELLENT Panerai models and Omega PO's WTF?? Why the hell can't they get just one Sub or Sea Dweller correct?? I personally think they do it on purpose. If they come out with "new and improved versions" every few months such as, V1 V2 V3 etc. etc. they sell alot more watches that way.... Good business if you're a Chinese rep maker.... F---er's.....

Well at least it's not the same guy that took me for a ride for his SSD, he was US based.....

I think the blue lume is Superluminova BGW9....It's white in daylight and glows blue at night.

Like I said, I've already taken a hit for the team........TWICE! And neither are very good, well the rehaut is really bad but the case (other than the rehaut), dial, hands, caseback, etc. are pretty good. I'd say almost as good as the SSD of old.. I can send you several pics of them both if you would like to see.
