icoopernicus Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Hey there knowledgable friends, I am trying to repair one of my favourite watches, my Deep Sea Sea Dweller. The movement is going to be repaired and serviced but now I want to fix the dial issue once and for all. What is the dial issue you ask? I'll tell you! The dial is missing both feet and was simply glued to the movement, when I get the fresh movement back I would like to avoid glueing the dial back on to the movement and for that I need a new dial. What is my best course of action to get a high quality rep dial for this watch? can I go through a TD or is there a better source for replica parts? Any help at all is, as always, greatly appreciated. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchWayne Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Mike, I have a DSSD that needs repairing. I hear something rattling around inside. It's a couple years old. Any idea who I can get to help me with this? I am more than willing to pay I just love my watch alot. I got it from BK and it's been awesome. I wear it every day. Any help is greatly appreciated.

icoopernicus Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 There are small clamps that are screwed in place to hold the movement into the case, if these are loose they may allow the movement to shift inside the case and cause some rattling. If you're comfortable opening the watch yourself, and have precision jeweler screwdrivers, it should be an easy fix. That would be my first guess as to the rattling sound you are hearing. If you can't open the case, or don't want to, then your best bet is a local watchmaker, no authorized dealers or chain jewelry stores as they may not work on a replica. There are also watchmakers on this forum that will do modification and repair for you. Based on your specific location there is bound to be someone on this forum that is local (same continent). Best of luck pal, those DSSD are great watches, wear it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
