slied013 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I am planning to buy a SSD at Eurotimez, but I want to it to be nearest possible close to gen. What mods should be made? Do you happen to know a watchmeister in Europe? Thanks and all the best, Michael. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elepaolo Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) gen insert + crown and a oil-bath for the bracelet - for the Meister check my sig - Domenico can help u (but not with gen parts) cheers, Frank You're perfectly right, Frank, but there's another issue that always keeps me away from my SSD (even if I like it A LOT): the markers at 5, 10, 15... should be thicker than the others (just like on any other Subs). And the most strange thing is that on the vintage SD (I mean, MBK or even cartel versions) those markers ARE actually bolder: why didn't they do the same on SSD? OK, the usual mystery: one step up, two steps back... Edited November 4, 2009 by elepaolo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delicious Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Hey frank This is probably a stupid question but what is a oil-bath for the bracelet? what will the oilbath do for the bracelet? shine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great now. It keeps great time btw, 1 sec a day! Search in the members list for his name and email him with your request. I don't agree with the remarks from the other guys about the SSD. I compared it with a gen SD and you have to look real close to see the difference. Appart from the Rolex experts nobody will see the difference! With an oilbad they mean preparing the bracelet for use. I use WD40 once a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
