panerista1979 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hi Friends! I posted this up a few Days ago on RG as well and I thought you'll also like it. A good Friend of mine has this Beautiful gen DSSD and I asked him to take some Shots of this Beauty. So I took my Cam today and did some quick and dirty Ones, because I know it is hard to find some Pics in the Internet that show up what we all want to see for compare. Bezel and Color of the Bezel Engraving, Pearl, Clasp etc... So I just took Pictures of what I thought could be important for us Geeks here. I hope you like them and they are good enough for a nice Camparsion between your Reps and this Gen. The Watch is bought May 2009, so it's an actuall Modell. Please enjoy: I terminated the Crystal Reflections at some of the Pics to show the Dial and Indexes better. So it looks a bit unnatural here and on the next Picture: The software unsharpened the Caseback a bit to much on the Titanium Aera, because I wanted to terminate a Fingerprint here. If you like the un- photoshopped Pic, let me know... Pearl Close up: Pearl even closer up... : Da Lume: As you can see, imho the "Bezel Paint Mod" is useless because the Engravings on the real Deal are Titanium coloured. Not bright silver as most of us think... :undecided: I hope you have had Fun looking to my Pics. Would be happy about some Feedbacks from you Guys! Cheers R.

chefcook Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 thanks very much, but would you be so kind and take out the first pic? Showing serial no.s helps scammers more than it should... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chubbchubb Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Very good reference pix - thanks! If you look at this type of close-up pictures, the differences become quite visible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwgt Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Nice pictures, thanks. Regarding the Titanium based colour - how can one mod a V5 DSSD and change the insert colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Great pics. I want one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arniezac Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Now that is a beauty. I've never really been a Rolex fan but looking at something like this one shot so well certainly makes me feel like i'm missing something. Maybe one day I'll dip my toe in.

gioarmani Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I can't wait till aftermarket pearls hit the salesfloor...I know a dealer on eBay that can get gen ceramic inserts for the GMT-II, but he still says it's impossible to get the ones for the DSSD. Dammit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shultz Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Great pics. I didn't pull the trigger on that model yet but I think I should go for the V5 soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheswick Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 For you members that are saying your not a Rolex fan but this watch is making you think twice, I have 2 words of advise for you. DO IT! I felt the same way, but my DSSD is now my favorite piece. To the OP, very nice pics - Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Now that is a beauty. I've never really been a Rolex fan but looking at something like this one shot so well certainly makes me feel like i'm missing something. Maybe one day I'll dip my toe in. Exactly! I came to this forum absolutely NOT wanting a Rolex replica .. I started with Bell & Ross and other off brands. But seeing the DSSDv5 photos in Gioarmani's famous review ... completely sold me and I had to have one. I'd never even cared for Rolex before!! Also, seeing these macro images, I appreciate how CLOSE the v5 really is. The only differences I can see now are the Pearl, the lume brightness .. and the bezel color on the Gen is just a BIT darker grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
