The new DSSD insert and glass clad pearl


gmtlover

Recommended Posts

I am trying to upgrade my BK DSSD with some better parts.

I installed a new dial, bigger hour markers.

Then I lost my pearl so ordered one from PBdad, only thing is he sent me a sub pearl as you

can see in the images. But he doesn't want to admit he is made a mistake.

So I attached it anyway so I could wear the watch.

Then a few weeks ago the upgraded DSSD showed up on several sites.

It is a new correct glass clad pearl with superlume and new blacker insert as they describe.

The markers on the insert are less deep then BK's original noob dial.

The pearl looks good to me and they made the triangle on top straight.

Maybe a bit too straight IMO.

Have a look and see for yourself cos I made some pics!

The less engraved 50

I think it's an improvement over the old insert, even though the triangle

is maybe too straight now at the top.

Anyway I am going to use it as replacement, because every time I look at my pearl

now it remembers me of the mistake PBdad made and wouldn't admit.

So that's an expensive mistake for $80!!

BTW a big thanks for Josh for helping me get the new insert. He was the only TD who could sources the new dial!

The final result

My BK DSSD

+ bigger Trevor hour markers on dial

+ new "blacker" insert with new superlumed glass clad pearl.

+ straight triangle

What to mod next?

I do not like a matte finished dial, does not look gen IMO

And the same with AR on this model. Do not like it.

Only thing I consider doing now is repaint the insert with a good metallic platinum paint.

Result so far!
