fna2005 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Thinking of getting my first rolex rep. I know that DSSD v5 is sooo nice but it's too dang big and heavy for my wrist. I got the chance to try it on last week from a local rolex AD and I am convinced that DSSD is not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamahatwin Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 The 16600 SD was a REALLY good rep (called Super Sea Dweller -SSD of Noobfactory Sea Dweller - SSDv2) but the Deep Sea killed this great rep :'( So the SSD and SSDV2 are no longer available, and they are really expensive on the trading zone. I know that a dealer is trying to lunch a new Sea Dweller project but no news since 2 months. Why don't you try the classic sub 16610? Very good rep are available for this futur collector. Hopes this help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 You could buy a vintage Sea Dweller replica .. those are very nice and people do not question old models as much a new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woof* Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 http://s242.photobuc...ex/Sea-Dweller/ Saw this in hont's photobucket...He said he has it available.. I do not think that watch is the SSD we are talking about. Nobody has had them for quite some time. Look for one used, or wait for the new one coming out. My SSD modded halfway to conversion to a 16660... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hont's watch could be an SSD. The key is to ask him if the SN is Z539117. That's the SN on the v2. V1 was F539117. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJGladeRaider Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Personally, I like the TW Best version with the lug holes. I have several of them - built like a tank with a case back like a manhole cover. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 That is the case I am looking for. Drilled lugs no engraving. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought I'd have seen some of these on the second hand market. Post some pictures Bill if you can! I'd love to see those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automatico Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 "Personally, I like the TW Best version with the lug holes. I have several of them - built like a tank with a case back like a manhole cover." "That is the case I am looking for. Drilled lugs no engraving." I had a couple SD from 'River' about 7 or 8 years ago that might have been 'TWB'...lug holes etc but no engraving between the lugs...and they were built like a tank (a small tank). I had one apart and it had a 3.0mm thick sapphire crystal in it. I do not remember if the helium valve worked or not as it has been so long. They were 14.65mm thick because I wrote it down in my notes. Something else...I fitted one with a used genuine case tube/genuine crown and the case tube hole had to be drilled and tapped in the case. After it was drilled and tapped, the case was very thin where the groove was machined in the case for the gasket. The case tube threads were originally the same size as a 5.3mm case tube.

Ephry73 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Confirmed, gen crystal WON'T fit the SD newer cases. rehaut IS wrong. Had to try it for myself. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
