Star69 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 looking at Joshs pics - this looks just like an updated SSD with SL no early Christmas gift for me .... hope its just the pics but the rehaut looks like an populat asian cooking tool and from the describtion no 1:1 construction. i hope im wrong - was really waiting for this..... cheers, Frank
Tribal Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 looks like an updated SSD. Only Super Lumed Dial and Hands and other SEL´s.. No step forward here.....
StormTooper4 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 HHHHHMMMM Tempting but will wait for the verdict from the Rolieisti The SEL are ok for a 2007 Z series, aren't they ?
ryaku Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 very disappointing, rehaut is even worse than in the previous SSD version
Tribal Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 Rehaut wooky, bezelteeth not deep enough, same bad crystal than on SSD,bad crown etc... Not worse the money! 1
coolfire Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 Disappointing, I have to say..... Sent from my SGSII
chefcook Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 That thing is a bad joke!!! Case lug profile is totally wrong, SEL fitment not more than acceptable, rehaut wokky, cut outs to access the spring bars are wrong (why don't they get something that easy right???), crown position to low, bezel is shitty.... This is obviously from the same completely blind, def and dumb 1:1 replicator as the Explorer II released before.
Navik Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 What a disappointment! I was really looking forward to this one... Well, well, definitely not buying this one
thogaa Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 Ordered one. Hope it's better than you think. Pics on website are always crap.
Star69 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Posted December 24, 2011 and why they use C3 ? first the shitty 1675 now this grrrrrr - im forced to buy Pams ! cheers, Frank
thogaa Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 Don't you think we should wait for qc pics before it's deemed completely useless?
FxrAndy Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 So for $248 you get a stainless watch with a bracelet, a reliable movement (i will come to the QC later) known design, superlume, more than likely good water resitance (as i sad QC later) Saphire crystal. So make this with another logo like MK II add some QC and sell them on the open market for well over a grand My glass is half full 1
woof* Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 I'm going to go ahead and withhold judgement. Josh knows the story and how long we have been waiting. I just can't imagine this being what we waited for. But if that watch in the pics is it.....again......uggg!
Star69 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Posted December 24, 2011 i bught the SSD V1 4 years ago - at that time the watch was superb - but now 4 years later ? the new one looks not better - and if they use Green C3 ? what Rolex uses green SL ? maybe the Frogmariner ....
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 3 words!!! [censored] that dweller!!! Shame to even make it like that, huge steps back!!!
dvn Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 So why did he called it a special project?
coolfire Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 So why did he called it a special project? Beats me. Lol Sent from my SGSII
alligoat Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 The V2 SSD was certainly a disappointment for me, especially when you compare it to the V1. Wokky rehaut, tall sloped crystal with the visible etched crown, and a solid mid link bracelet. And this new watch has all of those terrible features- it's back! The rep makers get something right for a while then they fall back into the crap.
Watchmeister Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 I learned years ago. Stick with vintage that takes gen parts. They look better. No one calls you out and it is fun adding gen parts as you can afford it. Personally I jumped straight from vintage to the DSSD. It looks like it will be quite a while before I have to take a contemporary SSD seriously.
thogaa Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 Maybe Josh puts up some QC pics. I don't believe he would lie about the features of this model. Still hoping it will turn out to be a decent rep. If they have the gen to compare with it shouldn't be all bad. Perhaps even gen comparison pics are avail.
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 Andrew told me that they will take new pics becuse they dident do i good job. But i dont think he can do better pics since the watch is wrong!!!
ryaku Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 Well... uh... not sure new pics will make the crappy rehaut look better. I do hope I'm wrong though.
its_urabus Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 I think it's going to be better than the first pics show but the bracelet still sucks. Let's wait and see the next pics...
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 Well... uh... not sure new pics will make the crappy rehaut look better. I do hope I'm wrong though. Yepp they have to photoshop the pics ti get it look better!
