dimoza Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Hello, received my DSSD V5 (gen ETA) from Chris this week. Since, I am fethcing for flaws; couldn't find many. Even compared with my neighboor gen ... QUITE ACCURATE! The only main flaw I ID (besides weak lumes and pearl material ... acceptable for a rep) is with the alignment of the date inside the date window. Very annoying: Date beyond 20 are all very low on the window. Any ideas how this could be fixed? Would a gen date wheel work here? any gen dial for DSSD out there? if so, would it fit? (it did on my UPO). Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regazzoni Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Hi, for me a notable flaw is the crystal. If You compare it with the look of the gen, You will see from a great distance that its a fake. I dont know how to explain, but the rep Chrystal looks distorted, like a loup. A Gen never will !But the biggest flaw of all is the after sale service of Eurotimezz. It s a really mess. I got my V5 with a broken bezel/inlay some weeks ago. i send them many emails, got many answeres from different people. Eeach one gave me a new ticket and nothing,really nothing conrete happened.And the only thing I need is a new bezel/inlay. I feel really cheated!!!I bought watches at Josh, Angus, Phong. If there was a Problem, they always solved it immediately. they are real businessmen and they will never "get a victim of their success". This is the biggest [censored] I ever heard!

Star69 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 its really strange with this DSSD V5 ... its like they sell different watches - at least 2 different middle cases - some have a funny looking HEVs - some not ? some have this balloon crystal - some not ? would be cool of one of ETs staff members chime in cheers, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimoza Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Gents, I compared the saphire with gen... the "bubble" is there as well, maybe less prominent. I think it has to do with the thickness of the glass and the absence of AR coating - I don't know if inside AR inside AR coating is applied on the gen though.

gioarmani Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 It actually has to do with the fact that the crystals pre V4--from their side profile--used to have a convex (domed) top and a flat bottom. Now, post v5, both the bottom and the top of the crystal are convexed, which is why you see the distortion caused by refraction due to the different shape. I personally believe the reason why they did this was because the rehaut on the v4's & previous were a hair too deep, and instead of going through the trouble of changing the case by shortening the rehaut, thus having to redo the engraving, they found it an easier solution to just use a different shaped crystal, giving the illusion that the rehaut is thinner.

Unfortunately, I looked around and I can't find ANY photos of a gen DeepSea tilted far enough to make any distortion on a gen or a rep .. so I cant debate this. The photographer never tilts the gens over enough, to the point where my rep starts to distort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimoza Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Below pic of gen DSSD taken from crown side. I still see a dome, less prominent though. My main concern is really the alignment of the date inside the date window. Any suggestions, did anybody encounter this problem... and resolves it? Would a gen date wheel work here? any gen dial for DSSD out there? if so, would it fit?. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllergyDoc Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I believe the only solution to your date misalignment is to have a new date wheel installed. It won't do any good to adjust the current one because only some of the dates are misaligned. My V3 is like that, too. From 20 on the dates sit low. You might PM BK about this, when he gets back from vacation on Oct. 2. He might know how to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 The Gen DSSD watch is so new that there are NO genuine aftermarket parts for it. Dealers are not even allowed to service them .. they have to be sent to Switzerland for fixing. No dial, no bezel .. no nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
