Pro Hunter DSSD Pics

[tagrolex]

I have just gotten my QC pics for my Pro Hunter Deep Sea Seadweller I Asian 2836-2.

I would like any input from the community members regarding the quality of this replication.

I am so excited to get my watch!!

Thank you for your help.

What dealer did you get it from!

Nice Pvd..

I am getting it from andrew

[Watchmeister]

Looks great. Wear it well.

[tagrolex]

thank you - the only question I really had was the white dot near the 50 on the bezel

But with you giving it the OK - seems like I am ready to go ahead and take delivery.

Can't wait to put this in rotation with my gen Tag Aquaracer day/date

[mikellem]

It's most likely dust!

Did you ask the dealer?

MM

[tagrolex]

Yea - he said it was OK. It probably is just dust, since the shot with the packing slip didn't seem to have the dot.

Told Andrew to ship it - should expect it in a week or so. Can't wait to give this watch some wrist time.

And the shot of the lume, looks very nice

I've had one for about 6 months and love it. But I do have a question. The bezel ring feels like plastic to me. Not a big tell but it just doesn't feel right. Any thoughts? Sorry if I stole the thread.

Looks like an old bezel. Has the 10 spacing issue. Other than that, very nice!

[gmtlover]

price?

[tagrolex]

Price was a steal - $168 ($193 shipped to USA)

These have the bad 10 issue, and the bezel insert is not plastic, it is ceramic. Try to scratch it without using someone's diamond ring. I dare you.

[tagrolex]

overall I am very happy with the look of the watch - especially for under $200

I could always replace the bezel - idk yet I will decide once it gets here

Great price, Great lume. I have just found these 21J movements to be hit and miss, but value for money is certainly great.

Not too sure what his actual name is on the forum. I know he is one of the recommended dealers and I provided the link to his website.

It was delivered to my house on Sat (but was away for new years) and now rescheduled to get here tomorrow. I'll add pics once I get it.

*think Andrews name is trustytime

[tagrolex]

Received my watch and thought I would update some pictures of it.

Overall the quality is very good - can't believe this watch was only $160 - and no problems (thus far) with the movement.

Also included pic comparing (for size) with my gen Tag Aquaracer.

Question: How do I get the rep bracelet to 'lay like my gen Tag's bracelet?

[mikellem]

I think it's because of the deployment clasp on the inside

of the band, but i am not positive.

that is just what it looks like to me..

The diver's extension (I bet you have not noticed it) makes that kind of shape impossible unless you want to add more links.

[tagrolex]

I am aware of the divers extension and that is the problem... I have messed around with adding links but they seem to need a 1/2 link (like my tag provides) to make it the perfect fit.

When I say 'lay' like my Tag I mean the bracelet to not be as stiff. The Rolex bracelet is stiff (it binds up) and I was wondering if there was a way to 'loosen' the bracelet up with out using an abrasive. BC I fear an abrasive would wear off the pvd coating.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Most rep bracelets are full of machine grit and metal bits. You should wash the bracelet throroughly with dish soap and water. Really work it in there. Then rinse rinse rinse!

Lastly, use a dry-style lubricant commonly found in bicycle shops and sold as bike chain lube. It goes on as a liquid, but the liquid flashes away and leaves a powerful dry lubricating layer. Work it in!!!

[tagrolex]

Sounds like a winner, I'll work on that project this weekend

Nice looking watch, i have one that i bought form Josh a couple of years ago, it has the Asian 3135 movement, was $408, but does look stunning. The only problem i have had is that i have lost the Lume dot marker at 12 oclock, not sure how, probably knocked it knowing me!!

I have just ordered one of his Project X Explorer II and he is sendng me a new marker but does anyone know how they fit? Do they simply push and therefore do you need to expoxy it in place?

Any guidance from anyone would be fantastic as it spoils the look with a small hole a t 12!!
