Bansenshukai Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 I've seen talk about the V5 in TRF as well as in WUS. Except, they don't refer to it as V5 as they have no idea what one version is from the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have for sure thought it would be one of the submariners, datejusts etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumum Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Good review. I was looking to see how EZ v6 would stack up to the cartel best version, anyone had a chance to compare them irl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarass Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) Side view of the HEV. believe that the proper HEV is slightly indented, which this one is. Look at this picture from the official rolex site: The area around the HEV is not indented at all and the HEV itself is only slightly recessed. Also check out the video: Rolex DSSD Edited May 12, 2010 by scarass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 That is an "artistic photograph" created by a Photoshop monkey in Advertising Dept. ... not true to life. Look at the steel, completely filled in with a false texture. You can't tell anything about a real DSSD with this photo, unfortunately.

panerai153 Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 @scarass, The area around the HEV is not indented, what you are seeing are sunlight reflections which make it look like it's sort of "Scalloped".I almost didn't include that photo in the review, because i thought the way the sunlight reflected would make that side look distorted. The HEV is slightly indented, which I have seen on probably a hundred photos of genuine DSSD's I've looked at. I agree with jkay, that photo is a photoshop image from a real photo.

Ok, I see it's hard to see this stuff on pictures, reflections can mislead! Even if the picture is photoshopped I have a hard time believing they alter the HEV just for the kicks of it??!! The position of the HEV on the gen is just like in the "Photoshop" picture. Anyway, stunning looking watch you got there mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, stunning looking watch you got there mate! Watch websites have even been known to change hand color "just for the kicks of it"... (ahemm.. clearing throat.. Panerai!... breitling) Don't ask me why.. but the last place to look for accurate pictures of a gen watch is on a GEN website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
