omega64 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Posted November 30, 2010 Hello, I have received this photographs of one example of what it is supposed to be a Super SD which is waiting to be shipped to me. I would like to ask to the Rolex experts its opinion about this example. It seems to be correct, but i have little knowledge. I learn from SSD photographs in the dealers sites and i have no one in my hand ever. What do you think about this one? Right or wrong?
rosnik Posted November 30, 2010 Report Posted November 30, 2010 Yes , it's SSD . It need some nice 'mods' to reach the best. You'll find a lot of tread about on search RWG button. It's nice and useful object believe me....
kbh Posted November 30, 2010 Report Posted November 30, 2010 I agree. I'm sure there are a lot of people that would be interested to know where you sourced it from.
alligoat Posted November 30, 2010 Report Posted November 30, 2010 I agree also and it looks like a swiss eta to boot. Out of curiosity, I'd like to know what the SN is- at the 6 o'clock lugs.
freddy333 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Posted November 30, 2010 Ditto all of the above. The only stand-out issue is the xtal etching, which stands-out a bit too much (like many rep watches).
omega64 Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Posted November 30, 2010 Ditto all of the above. The only stand-out issue is the xtal etching, which stands-out a bit too much (like many rep watches). Is there any way to "erase" (or change the crystal) to get rid of this etched crown?
rosnik Posted November 30, 2010 Report Posted November 30, 2010 Ditto all of the above. The only stand-out issue is the xtal etching, which stands-out a bit too much (like many rep watches). Could it be a SSD V1 ?
sneed12 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Posted November 30, 2010 Is there any way to "erase" (or change the crystal) to get rid of this etched crown? You can't change the etching but it's simple to pop out the crystal and put in a new one. Sourcing the crystal is the trick.
rosnik Posted November 30, 2010 Report Posted November 30, 2010 Can you have one picture were we can se the crystal 'rehault' from the bezel? IMO: by this picture it's correct for Seadweller.

I will try to ask for that photo, but i do not understand exactly which photo or angle is the needed one. You want to see the rehault from one side?
sneed12 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Posted November 30, 2010 I agree. I'm sure there are a lot of people that would be interested to know where you sourced it from. Agreed, btw. I want one, and I know Jackjo would love to find a couple more to work his magic on.
omega64 Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Posted November 30, 2010 Is it possible to source a crystal for a SSD? Where and how?
rosnik Posted November 30, 2010 Report Posted November 30, 2010 One picture from side ( best crown side ) like this one from GEN 16600 ( you can spot like GEN in crown position). Here you can see crystal reahault on 16600.
sneed12 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Posted November 30, 2010 Is it possible to source a crystal for a SSD? Where and how? Depends on the case. You should be able to find a crystal that fits, and cyclops position isn't an issue for you. If you're lucky, an aftermarket crystal built to gen specifications will fit. For the third time, feel like sharing where you found this watch and what you paid for it? Or is it a secret?
alligoat Posted November 30, 2010 Report Posted November 30, 2010 Is it possible to source a crystal for a SSD? Where and how? An SSD won't take a gen/aftermarket crystal. BK is probably the most knowledgeable and can probably tell you if anything else will work.
omega64 Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) I can see that this is not the exact corret angle to see thr crystal by side. I understand you want to know source, as i was in the same position last 4 months. I was scammed by WM9 and lost one in the second hand forum later. I wanted that model. I am a very-few-watches-guy (1). Watch comes from one authorized dealer. I did ask all dealers about this one -it took a thousand emails- and one get one example left somewhere after a long wait. Once shipped, i will tell you everything. Edited December 1, 2010 by omega64
Dizzy Posted December 1, 2010 Report Posted December 1, 2010 Im sure there are still some around in China in the watch markets. They havent been out of production very long so I cant see them being impossible to get. They wouldnt be offered to the dealers anymore so they would have to ask around and source one for you. I bet Mary could find some. She seems more than willing to go hunt down exactly what you want. As for the pics above, its for sure a SSD and looks like v2. The V1 had an incorrect slightly thinner bezel and braclet where some of the screws were too long.
omega64 Posted December 4, 2010 Author Report Posted December 4, 2010 Dealer refund my payment for the watch. "there are some problems" he says I have a very very bad luck with my trying about a SD. Lets take it easy .........
