d4v1d Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) Hello all, I'm curious who recently ordered the ultimate Sea Dweller and what you actually got. I ordered my first ult SD from Andrew for $128 but I was not satisfied with the crappy movement and sold it. But imo Andrew asks way to much for the Asian 2836 version.. $120 more for a movement which only costs 60 bucks or something. So I ordered the Asian 2836 ult SD from Trevor for 178 bucks. I got the QC pictures and noticed the pearl has improved significantly. Unfortunately the hands are very poor and Trevor couldn't get a better one. He sent me pictures of 2 others and those were even worse. Got refund. So I'm curious if there are more people that recently ordered an ultimate SD and how the pearl and HE is. Is there a newer V3 version? Here some QC pics from Trevor. Edited November 17, 2012 by d4v1d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lja1821 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 For the price they are pretty good, a couple of mods likea tc bracelet,dw overlay go along way for this watch really take it up a step. I have an octupus check those out,the case and pearl are much better imo.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4v1d Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I already ordered the TC bracelet and have a WM pearl in house. But I think this new pearl is even better then the WM pear, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Hmmm, looks like the crown gards are improved also! Or am i wrong? Rehult also looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4v1d Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) I don't know. I'm not really a Rolex expert but the hands are terrible. So I'm looking for one with nice hands and improved pearl. Edited November 17, 2012 by d4v1d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 These are just normal mods for a less expensive rep. Pearls, even improved ...still are poor compared to gen. That watch will seriously be better with TC dial, hands and bracelet. Then a Bk Dwo, gen crown and your good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d4v1d Posted November 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) Octopus.. http://puretime.co/p...imited-edition/ I want to warn you for the crystal issue many ultimate SD have! The glass is put in too high and you can notice the sanding finish. Edited November 18, 2012 by d4v1d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduardor Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Octopus.. http://puretime.co/p...imited-edition/ I want to warn you for the crystal issue many ultimate SD have! The glass is put in too high and you can notice the sanding finish. Thanks mate. Crown guards are better on the octopus case, just a little reshape on the CG's, and sand the rehault since it looks wokky and you are good to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
