azbank Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 BK's DSSD arrived today, love it! certainly big watch but yet not flashy ( or so I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Congrats on a great pick up. Is the crystal flush with the bezel? I for some reason always thought the crystal on this stood proud of the bezel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azbank Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 As per genuine, the crystal is not raised from the bezel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indywatchguy Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Nice piece az Thanks for sharing the wristies! I also have a BK DSSD. It's had the full PB treatment which you might consider. It's a fantastic watch! Enjoy to the max! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indywatchguy Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Thanks Indy, whats PB treatment? OH WOW....you don't know about PB DAD??? PB Dad is a well know modder on the forums. He sprays your dial with a matt finish(more gen appearance) and relumes it with tritech lume which is the same superluminova rolex uses. He also gives the bracelet and case a gen brush finish, as well as gen spec AR crystal coating. If you don't mine me posting a pic of mine on your thread I will. It makes your DSSD a lot closer to gen...some say 95%-98% which of course is subjective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azbank Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Please do post your DSSD of course i wonna see. Is he in Europe because sending my watch outside of EU is a problem. Big one actually. I wouldnt get it back cause of customs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpz5142 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 PB is in the CONUS, California near BK. too bad you didn't know about him and BK would have sent the watch straight to PB for you and then PB would have shipped it out to you after be worked his magic!

azbank Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Well, isnt there someone doing the same in Europe ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indywatchguy Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 I'm sure there is check the modders section and AZ I haven't forgot the pic I'll post it tomorrow evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Thanks Indy, whats PB treatment? Yes AZbank .. stay with the Euro techs. It's better that way. Just so you know, PBdad is not a trusted tech on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Also, the Deepsea had a change in its second year of production. Both gloss and semigloss dials are absolutely correct. There is no need to pay anyone to matte your dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indywatchguy Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Yes AZbank .. stay with the Euro techs. It's better that way. Just so you know, PBdad is not a trusted tech on this board. Yes correct he is not a trusted tech on this board but he is on other boards. He's well known by many on other forums as well as RWG for his outstanding work.

There is no need to pay anyone to matte your dial. I agree I wouldn't pay just to have the dial matte. PB "works" package includes a list of what he does to bring your DSSD up to gen specs.

jimmy Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I had a lume job done by him, ok, not worth the $$$ I learned never to mess with stock lume, I think it ruines the watch, just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrari1 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 A good idea with new DSSD's is to pop out the pearl and re glue it, as they tend not to be very well glued. Do a quick search and you will see some advice on this. In particular not to use superglue. It is really easy to do, only taking a few secs. Get a good two part epoxy glue, and it will be in there for ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea same here but it does glow like a torch. I heard Vac does better work but haven't tried him yet. Most relumers are expensive. I do agree if not done properly(stripping old lume and starting from scratch) it can ruin the look of your watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
