rosnik Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) Before to get my opinion , I would like to see some dismounted case pictures. I'm not convinced it's 1:1 build, and that it can accept GEn crystal and GEN bezel. Edited December 24, 2011 by rosnik
its_urabus Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 I will bet it's 1:1 dimension and markings, not 1:1 build. Meaning it won't take a gen bezel. Gen insert maybe, but that's not impressive enough to me...
mikellem 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! Tribal, you have radar eyes.. I love it.. You sure know your Rolex watches... Thanks for being a part of our forum ! Merry Christmas, MM
danielv2000 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 Does that mean that current SSD's have at least maintained their value... Glass is indeed half full!
txcollector 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! I don't think Josh does anything other than guarantee first stocks for him with the factories. There's no expert review of such detail. They just look at it and say "good enough, let's go sell it." Angus at least makes an effort to publish prototype pics of the PAM models and engage in constructive feedback. The PAM029M was a great example. He published pics, we provided some specific feedback, they fixed it to right specification and now the 029M is perfect. Let's hope Angus takes an interest on the SSD because quite frankly this Josh led effort (if that's even the case) has proven fruitless.
its_urabus Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 I also wish it came with a regular movement. The extra work on the movement would be better spent on a correct crown. It's bad...
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 Im just back to this topic to say how SAD this is!!! I (we) all have been waiting for this one for a very very long time, realy im soooo sad now, this is the worst ever x-mas gift i have got!!! It took the air straight out Of me...
its_urabus Posted December 24, 2011 Report Posted December 24, 2011 Yup it sucks. The factory should pull it and concentrate in making more 029's
duke1973 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Posted December 25, 2011 Utter crap..... Total let down! Is it only available with the ETA dressed up to look like a rolex movement?? For $338 bucks it's laughable!
fischyyy Posted December 25, 2011 Report Posted December 25, 2011 Saaaaaad Panda..... I was planning on getting this.... Any other 1:1s coming up soon??^^
coolfire Posted December 25, 2011 Report Posted December 25, 2011 I also wish it came with a regular movement. The extra work on the movement would be better spent on a correct crown. It's bad... I feel for you, cos I feel the same way too.. Im just back to this topic to say how SAD this is!!! I (we) all have been waiting for this one for a very very long time, realy im soooo sad now, this is the worst ever x-mas gift i have got!!! It took the air straight out Of me... agreed... Sent from my SGSII
its_urabus Posted December 25, 2011 Report Posted December 25, 2011 I guess we are going to get side by pictures of the SDSD with a gen M serial. lets see if these are any better...
thogaa Posted December 25, 2011 Report Posted December 25, 2011 I guess we are going to get side by pictures of the SDSD with a gen M serial. lets see if these are any better... We are going to get or we are going to have to get?
its_urabus Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 Andrew has on his site "SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON PICS WITH GENUINE WATCH BELOW" I know that he was going to have new pics taken, maybe I am guessing these will be gen:rep pics. I am wrong all the time though, or at least my wife says so.
Tribal Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 Tribal, you have radar eyes.. I love it.. You sure know your Rolex watches... Thanks for being a part of our forum ! Merry Christmas, thanks mate, Merry Christmas MM
Rolexman Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 I believe they pulled the watch from their site.....
MAHLER Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 Well, well... Ladies and Gentlemen now, only for a few minutes comes the preview of the new sensational superdupedLOLweller, eyes closer to the screen, closer pics here:
thogaa Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 The launch has been canceled apperently due to problems with the case manufacturing
watcher Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 I noticed that too. A real shame they did not make any effort with it. Biggest issue for me was the rehaut thickness and depth. Taking gen parts is not really life and death for me but the crown position would be better if they had a shallower rehaut depth.
Star69 Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Posted December 26, 2011 so there is still hope - they should fire the case manu[censored]tor anyway
coolfire Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 so there is still hope - they should fire the case manu[censored]tor anyway Yup, seems like a real joke all the pics got pulled. Get the n00bfactory to get it right. Just saying.
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 They will just take new pics! At least thats what andrew told me!
prdubis Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 Connie told me there was an issue with the sapphire...
coolfire Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 Connie told me there was an issue with the sapphire... That's something new...
