JohnG Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Here is a cheap pick-up that just arrived - a sterile Sea-Dweller Deep Sea homage. The watch is very nicely finished, 21j movement, single piece caseback, non-glidelock clasp, polished center links, weak green lume. So this appears to be a sterile version of the early SDDS replica. But for the money, it is a NICE watch. It is possible to get the old reps for about the same money I paid for this ($56 on eBay), but they are full of flaws (listed above) and while I am somewhat picky about tells on reps, sterile homages liberate you from that nonsense - it is not a rep, so technically speaking there can't BE any tells. As long as the watch is nicely made, I am happy. And that it is, heavy, great looking, and I never have to worry about being called out. Long live homages. Anyway, here are the pics (sorry about the crappy pics, the GF has the good camera)... Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asf Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I like how they used the new clasp and domed crystal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerian Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 That is cool! Thanks for showing! I actually don't like the DSSD. The sterile version looks less bully-like. Val. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Awesome Can't been a nice sterile homage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Looks much better for being in a thinner GMTIIc style case, it is no longer an unbalanced watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
