Craig S Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hi guys, I'm currently looking for a DSSD rep for my brother and as we all do, I'm looking for the "best/most accurate" version. Could anyone give me some suggestions? I'm not a noob, but I'm a breitling and omeage fan and I know very little about Rolies. Any help/suggestions would be apprecaited.

nakortheblue Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I think the cartel ultimate best bezel has been upgraded with correct '10' spacing so that would be safe to get. Also, check out BK's offering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniz21 Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 i would go for bk dssd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedman Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Go for BK DSSD or Vac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingkaiser Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I hear good things about trevors (which i'm contemplating buying), which is much cheaper than BK's. That having been said, I'm not an expert - perhaps one of the more established members can point out flaws that trevor's dssd has? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I believe that one positive with the BK DSSD, it will be inspected by BK and you will be getting one that is as close to perfect that he can get. With most of the others they get watches from the manufacturer, and they ship them on to the customers.I didn't realize VAC was building DSSD's, but his would also be inspected, and probably waterproofed, lume upgraded and serviced,or at least you would have that option.

Craig S Posted August 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I've order a DSSD from BK. defo looks like the best option. A friend recommended him for the quality of his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynimrod Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 (edited) I've order a DSSD from BK. defo looks like the best option. A friend recommended him for the quality of his work. I've got a BK DSSD and it's superb! Lume is good, correct BK datewheel, lined up coronet with the 12 marker, correct 10 spacing. Everything about this watch is great! Youve made a good choice my friend. Edited August 6, 2010 by mightynimrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingkaiser Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Does anyone know whether BK's/noob steel is as good as the "cartel" steel? Seems a little more grey (lanikai's review has really made me away of the difference in color between the older steel and the newer one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 The problem with the noobfactory (bk) DSSDs is the curved-top bezel insert triangle. Yes, they fixed their |10 | but they forgot the big triangle kk - your question about color is a common one. Your computer monitor and the digital camera used to take the photos and the lights the photographer used ALL add up to change the colors of anything in the picture. You can't tell subtle color differences in a digital picture. It's not possible. So relying on a picture is not a good thing. Also .. not many people understand this but the SS watch you get is caked in oxidation. Does SS rust? No .. not under conditions you find on the surface of the Earth but it does form a layer of black oxidation! I wiped down my clean DSSD yesterday with a polishing cloth. Here is the cloth. -- It was clean when I started -- Both sides look this black. Wipe your watches with SS polishing clothes and be amazed at their proper white brightness.

z80 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) Every pic of a gen I see it looks like the triangle top follows the curve of the bezel. I've seen a flat top on the triangle and you could really see a difference. I think the real problem with the Noob bezel is the tick marks are not thick enough.

Jkay Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 From the main DSSD page at rolex.com .... Flat topped triangle. and BY GOSH you are right about the tickmarks .. how I've always missed that, I do not know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingkaiser Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Although the first 10 tick error seems to exist in every recent dssd version unfortunately - I don't think it's a noob specific error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
