parga Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hi guys, since I have almost ZERO Rolex knowledge, before I accept this watch can some of the more experienced folks in the forum spot anything wrong with this Ultimate DSSD? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravoecho Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Actually it is always hard to judge watches with only two photos. But for that you are looking for I strongly advise to leave it - Hands are completely wrong - SEL have gaps (top & bottom) These are obvious to everybody and if your budget fits go for THIS DSSD V5 ULTIMATE Yo can refer to my gallery HERE. Good luck with your purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolfire Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Definitely not the so-called Ultimate here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think it's not the Ultimate model. More pictures below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdoc Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Trevor doesn't always send you pics of the watch he will send you. I ordered the same watch, received complete different pics and get another complete different watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bravoecho Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) If you look carefully to the hands of watch in first photos you will notice that color is black, not silver, and SEL have gaps. But in second photos hands are silver and SELs are still not OK in my opinion... That's why I mentioned it is always hard to decide with 2 photos... Actually docdoc is right, sometimes Trevor does send you photos of earlier deliveries which he sent to other customers and may be you are going to get something better or worse. During my deal also I've noticed this issue, when I checked file detail of photos I found that they have been shot on 20.03.2009!!! but I did not talk to him about this, instead I raised my concerns regarding flaws of watch and I received another one. I'm absolutely happy with my watch, but he did not send me any photo after 2nd QC inspection, I got it fully under his jurisdiction, anyhow result is OK. What is my suggestion: Give him a specific date and time adjustment, like day: 21 and time: 15:38 so you will make sure that WYSIWYG Here is my dillema. The watch in the link you posted is the EXACT watch I ordered from that same dealer but with Swiss movement. Why do you think it's not the Ultimate model. More pictures below.

CharlieUK Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 ^^^you seriously think those hands are black? Have you never tilted a watch with SS hands in the light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravoecho Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) I do indeed. You can refer to my photo gallery HERE 2nd post photo no: 5-6-7 shot directly under light! Do you see any hand in black color? Or all are in silver color? And right now I'm tilting my watch but under spotlight&direct sunlight could not see any black. ^^^you seriously think those hands are black? Have you never tilted a watch with SS hands in the light?

FxrAndy Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 the hands are silver, this is the effect that you will get from black polished parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Look at the dial. It has the beautiful v5 whisper-thin trim rings around the hour markers. As for the gaps, I think those are shadows. I believe you will be very happy. As for "ultimate v5" ?? That watch doesn't exist. The Cartel factory makes the "Ultimate" and Eurotimez' factory source makes the V5 ... saying Ultimate V5 is like saying you drive a 2009 Toyota Ford. From the stance of the bezel ring, the pearl design, and the hour marker slimness, I would bet you a donut that this is a ETz factory-source v5 timepiece.

fallraen Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 to be honest it seems to me that the rehaut engravings on the trevor dssd, is thicker than the ones i see elsewhere. if anyone has a trevor dssd can you confirm this? or its it only on the photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photobeatsfilm Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 These are obvious to everybody and if your budget fits go for THIS DSSD V5 ULTIMATE Hey- I noticed you linked the Trevor Time version of this watch. I'm looking into buying a watch from Joshua, and I love this watch but Josh is selling it for over a hundred dollars more (for a V5 ultimate) than Trevor. Id there any reason for this? Is Joshua's watch superior in any way, or is it the same? The reason I have to go with Joshua on this is because he's including a lot of free replacement parts for some reps that I ordered from him in the past Thanks!

bravoecho Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hi, BK and Joshua asking for more and answer is simple: each of them is a brand in replica world(or you say cartel). I know BK DSSD and does not worth for extra 120$+shipping for only domed pearl (trevor's pearl is almost flat) There is no significant differences between those 3 seller and I do not see any reason to pay more(this is my 0.02$) Trevor has A+++ communication, no issues at all from beginning to delivery. My suggestion: check both watches from OWNER REVIEWS. If you can find something significant which will be worth to pay extra $$$ let me know also Good luck with your purchase.

BK's DSSD has his custom datewheel, correctly aligned rehaut - coronet aligns up with the 12 o'clock - great lume. It's so much more than just a factory rep. BK will unsure your 100% happy as well - absolutely superb service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravoecho Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 All are also perfect with Trevor's DSSSD (at least mine) he is not selling factory rep, there are many out there and far away from being a proper V5. I'm totally agree about BK quality and already explained why it does not worth for extra 120$+shipping. ---BTW I'm not a fan/related to Trevor this was my 1st deal with him, just trying to show alternatives--- BK's DSSD has his custom datewheel, correctly aligned rehaut - coronet aligns up with the 12 o'clock - great lume.

fakemaster Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 If you look carefully to the hands of watch in first photos you will notice that color is black, not silver, and SEL have gaps. The hands are fine. They look black because of the lighting. And I have seen tons of gens with gaps at the lugs as well. Not to mention QC to the Chinese has nothing to do with that kind of stuff. They just check to see if it is running for the most part. There is no significant differences between those 3 seller and I do not see any reason to pay more Exactly. You're not going to get called out on a datewheel. Like the hot dog chick at the mall is gonna be able to tell lol. If you want to spend the extra money go ahead. But it's not necessary.

When I look at trevors pics (and even yours), the thickness is noticeable. Does it look thinner in person, or are the pics a pretty accurate representation? Also, how noticeable is the flatter pearl in person? I agree with you on the datewheel, etc - I'm strongly considering trevors watch based on your rec, but the OGEV flaw seems like an easy tell given the size and prominence.

bravoecho Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 both of them do not bother me by any means, unless you take a camera for close-up photography nobody can identify them. For me these texts are neither thin nor thick. tomorrow I will add wrist shot for you, then you say how it is... pearl is simply flat, I'm not planning to replace it with dome type. (another shot for this also) see ya! Bravoecho, while i love your pics of the DSSD, does the thicker OGEV and RLS text bother you much?

alanytical Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) Okay, so if we are talking about this watch here, nobody mentioned the lack of beveled date window surround. That's a deal breaker for me. The noob factory version has it right. Edited August 10, 2010 by alanytical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravoecho Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 This one have it right and from Trevor, which means some of them is not OK otherwise from this view it is not OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
