asciwhite Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Received my DSSD yesteday and thought I would just film it at some angles and stuff for you guys to see. Yes I have shaky hands, yes I did not get the diver extension open. But you will get the jist of the watch I think Enjoy! I already made a small ding in it. This thing is kinda big ETz used the first v5.0 case and put the rest from the v5.4. Dial print is still slanted http://www.youtube.c...h?v=LjH-SIS5f3c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firnatine Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 You are mad as me.......by the on RWI i read that there is a new DSSD ...with new stainless steel that contains a mixture of some uranium and chromium....is this true??? Received my DSSD yesteday and thought I would just film it at some angles and stuff for you guys to see. Yes I have shaky hands, yes I did not get the diver extension open.

Dial print is still slanted But overall I am satisfied. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjH-SIS5f3c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asciwhite Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Do not think uranium will ever be used in watches...... But there is the new steel grade called 316F, byt there is some serious doubt that the classification is correct.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest techlogik Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 It's a shame they can't get the dial print straight. Ridiculous. Maybe see if someone can source you another dial? Josh maybe? It is an easy swap to do. Just the three hands come off and back on. That is how bad the print was on mine, slanted from right to left downward.

Jkay Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 It's a shame they can't get the dial print straight. Ridiculous. You know how this game works. The factory ETz buys from will refuse to fix the error until ALL the dials with crooked print have been sold. The Chinese watch factories have always been like this and I would not expect them to change. Look at the print on EVERY UPO black/white ... it's knackered and every merchant has to sell them until all the bad dials are sold. There wont be a good blk/wht UPO for months.

Demsey Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 That was neat. There is only so much you can garner from even 'outstanding' stills. The watch really shows itself off animated, especially the domed crystal. It really is an impressive piece. Intimidating even. The Intimidator. Coo'.

I will source myself an "Ultimate" dial from my friend. So the fix will be done. I can not live with the slanted dial crap.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bundamania Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) The sapphire is not good...and the pearl looks off center... Edited January 14, 2010 by bundamania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asciwhite Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 The sapphire is not good...and the pearl looks off center... The pearl is just a trick of light. It is dead center in real life! What is wrong with the sapphire? Got a hold of a new "Ultimate" DSSD dial for it. Good thing I just bought handsetters and remover Hope my shaky hands can pull the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have sent a mail to ETz to get a new one..... This was a real blow to the face And there is even paint "lumps" in the insert.... I will tell you one thing for sure... ETz have seen the last of me!!! What a shame...I made that decision awhile ago not to do business with them. I have a bezel insert enroute..that is all though. After I sent them an email way back months ago about the slanted print, they just replied..it is just a minor issue, no big deal?!?!? I was like WTF!!! Yeah, you could probably fix that rehaut yourself. You need to pop the crystal out, then the rehaut will come out. You can buff the crap off, and repaint the black if needed. Otherwise, you may never get it resolved with ETZ...they are back to their old ways. I feel for you. I am on my 6 DSSD...seriously...When I get my ultimate back from Rex who fixed the 3135 clone with $80 is ETA parts, I will put the ETZ bezel insert on and be done with it. My other is with Vac getting lume/service. That one is going bye-bye. Oh..another note, that rehaut is wrong. The crown should be dead center on the 12 marker, then the E should be just to the right of the 12 marker. it looks like the crown and E are nearly over top of each other, which isn't right. Maybe ETZ can get you another one that is engraved better. Very hard to see that though, just being really picky! Good luck with this. Keep us updated on what ETZ says in this thread and the any progress you make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sapphire distortion problem has been well documented on the V5. I have the orig. V3 and the crystal is much closer to the Gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
