gmtlover Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Posted January 1, 2012 mmm I am unlucky.. Due to new year Fedex will resume shipping on the 3rd of january... I don't like waiting, not patient enough..
PAM_SWE Posted January 1, 2012 Report Posted January 1, 2012 LOL I'm waiting weeks for my Bk TW Sub. A few days wont hurt you
gmtlover Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Posted January 2, 2012 LOL I'm waiting weeks for my Bk TW Sub. A few days wont hurt you I know but shipping would take 3-5 days normally, now it will be 2 weeks probably. You were probably told that it will take a few weeks, so nothing changed for your expectance. But I am still updating the tracking every hour haha even though nothing will change before tomorrow.
PAM_SWE Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 Yes, but it Will be worth the wait :-) I know but shipping would take 3-5 days normally, now it will be 2 weeks probably.

irolexu Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 My TW Is still with bk cause my gen parts are being held till the 6th then I can buy them and mail them out
gmtlover Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Posted January 2, 2012 waiting is the worst part of buying a rep I think
JoeyB Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 Waiting is the worst part of ordering anything on line, and worse when the shipping is an insult.
gmtlover Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Posted January 3, 2012 Waiting on my dssd too.... Congrats on you too! Located in us or eu?
gmtlover Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Posted January 3, 2012 After 4 days still no shipping update with fedex Should i start to worry?
Jkay Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 No. Just thank God you didn't order this from China. These holidays can cause a 1 month delay in arrival times from China.
davea Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 Congrats on you too! Located in us or eu? East Coast US
gmtlover Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Posted January 4, 2012 Well the shipping has started!! It is now in transit from memphis..
gmtlover Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Posted January 5, 2012 Package arrived in stansted with status international shipment release.. Wonder what that means..
gmtlover Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Posted January 11, 2012 My BK DSSD arrived today! Great watch! I want to show you guys some pictures, I just dont't know how to do it. Maybe a mod can help me?? Thnx
irolexu Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 click on more reply options at the bottom right corner and you should see a upload button and presto.
gmtlover Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Posted January 11, 2012 Well guys here it is. Some pics! `crystal is pressed in nice This is the front, good bezel and new BK date wheel. I just ordered trevor's dial who has thinner platinum lines on the hour markers and is more gen like, so will probably replace it. The lume isn't great the hands are green at first while the hour markers are blue but it can't be seen on a photo ( with iphone 4 at least ). but the lume does last long, after sleeping an entire night (8 hours) the watch did still glow when i woke up. But I will probably also let someone do the lume or I will learn myself. Lumshot: another one: Are there also other mods that can be done on this BK DSSD to make it more gen like besides what is already done and by changing the dial and lume?
gmtlover Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Posted January 11, 2012 btw, there is a big flaw in the description on all TD sites, the bezel isn't unidirectional.. It only turns anti-clockwise..or I have a faulty one of course that's also possible
Jkay Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Uni-directional means that it only turns one way. Yours is working properly. You are confusing with the word "bi-directional" For a watch to be rated for diving, the dive timer bezel MUST be uni-directional to prevent mishaps.
