DSSD - Latest Noob vs Gen Mark 1 Comparison


Sbybbuser

Recommended Posts

Here are some pics of the newly released Noob DSSD compared to Gen DSSD.
The gen one has the Mark 1 dial which is the same dial used in all DSSD reps so far.
I am not really good with words so I will let the pictures do the talking.

Just for a rough guideline. On the gen, the date is set on 14, and on the rep, the date is set on 2.
The crown on the rep is pointing at 5 0'clock. and the gen is pointing at 3 o'clock.

rep:

gen:

Based on my observation (having to be very anal),, here is the difference between the rep and gen:
-Pearl is smaller on the rep. The gen fills the whole triangle while the rep (mine) has some gaps to the triangle (and not centered)
-OGEV text is very slightly thinner on the rep. The text is flat on both.
-Font on the dial is slightly different, but only noticeable on macro shots.

HE VALVE

Rep (Top) vs Gen (Bottom):

Base on my observation:
The gen He Valve is sunken while the rep is almost flat.
The inner ring is also more defined on the gen.
Position of the He Valve is almost the same

SEL FITMENT

gen:

Base on my observation:
The End Link on the gen is more sticking out compred to rep

gen:

Based on my observation:
-The bracelet in general is almost similiar. The gen has more satin look to it and better brushing.
-The clasp is where the huge differences show. The black paint on the gen is evident.
-The crown on the gen is slimmer and taller compared to rep.

Based on my obervation, the rep is almost spot on with the gen. Can't really notice any difference except the arch on the gen is slightly more pronounced

CASEBACK

Rep:

Based on my observation, the rep looks spot on.

LUME

Rep (Left) vs Gen (Right)

The gen has brighter lume and more "blue" to it.
But the one on the rep is superlumed already.

Overall, I think the rep is very close to gen.
The only thing that can be used to identify the rep comparing side by side (if you already know the gen vs rep comparison) will be the end link/sel fitment on the gen is more protruding.
And the paint on the clasp is kind of bad on the rep.
The insert is still different from the gen but it is much better than the older version. This one has a slight platinum color to it but still too white compared to gen.
The bezel turn is more pronounced on the gen but the rep isn't too far off. A huge improvement to the older version.

I owned a BK DSSD and a pbdad/BK DSSD beofre, but the quality can't match the gen. So I bought the gen one.
This latest version is pretty close to the gen, which makes me seriously consider selling the gen.

Having said that, if there are some areas you want me to cover, please do ask before I sell the gen.
Hope this review helps.
Thanks

I would appreciate if you could do a comparison of the rehaut on both watches. Thank you!

Aside from the OGEV font thinness, that is a great rep out of the box.  I actually prefer the rep SELs over the gen..lol.

 

Bezel teeth on the rep could be cut a tad lower. rehaut ring could be a touch lower as well.  Cant do much about the crown height, but CG's look excellent.

 

Really, I think all the rep needs is an insert replacement.  Good job on the review

Can you do a couple of pictures at an angle versus the face? I wonder what the distortion and reflections of the rep vs gen are. Can you read the serial in the same way on both?

Thank you felt the nice comparison.

Would love to see that as well. What is your opinion compared to you gen?

Just got my BK DSSD and I believe this is the best one on he market today as he gets the NOOB version and mods the several key components prior to shipping.post-66313-140951109858.jpgpost-66313-140951115402.jpg

Enjoy the pictures and sorry for the low quality but the watch in person is truly as close to gen as it gets.

It's a beautiful rep, but the thumb scallop on the clasp is too wide and nowhere crisp enough, and the bevel on the date window is a disaster.  Not even close.  Is it stamp-cut instead of milled?  Because it looks like the dial's warped.
