ThinkBachs Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I can't just have something that is the "same old same old" so I took the standard DSSD to the next level. Using a Rolex Yacht Master as my inspiration, I modded my DSSD to give it a little flair. I also wanted something that would contrast nicely with a rubber diver strap, so took the DSSD to my jeweler to have the lugs polished (it's tough getting under the bezel to get a good polish, and I didn't want to scratch the lugs trying to remove it), then polished the center links.... Some might think it's an abomination to do such a thing- that's certainly the look I got from the jeweler, but it works for me. I also considered comments from the Rolex forum where the subject was raised and the feedback was very positive. I should have cleaned the watch before taking the photo, but I guess I was in a hurry to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Enjoy it. It certainly is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkBachs Posted June 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) Some more pics, florescent light is HARSH! Every teeny-tiny micro scratch (and not so teeny) shows up this way.... Another wrist shot- after cleaning... Edited June 13, 2010 by ThinkBachs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 i think it looks better this way. I was thinking of polishing mine. The way it looks now is just all dull and lifeless.. this one looks better i think, more classy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 It's funny, I'm not so keen on the polished mid-links of the Yacht-Master or GMTIIc, but I really like how that's looking, it's a massive change to the entire feel of the watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Jury is still out for me. I'll have to come back later and look again. Most important thing is that you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
