astonjenks Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Two weeks ago I couldn't resist and bought a Swiss version of the DSSD Blue/Black which arrived today. We all now know of the flaws on the dial, the different shade of green on the DEEPSEA, the level at which the blue becomes black and the long minute markers around the SWISS MADE. A week and a half ago whilst studying the flaws and looking for options I stumbled, literally across a guy in the Middle East that produces very expensive and very good aftermarket Rolex dials and he had a new Blue Black DSSD which addressed all of these flaws. I negotiated a price and the pictures below hopefully show how very good it is. So now I am getting ready to swap the dial over, fit a TC DWO, double AR this Swiss driven DSSD beauty to make a really lovely piece. (Apologies re the dust on the new dial!)

hiker01 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Wow! Nice score on that dial. How does it compare? One of our TD told me that the NOOB version should be out soon.....waiting for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netniet Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 AJ, nice find. But am I correct that the ROLEX text still is not perfect. Compared to the gen dial the L and E characters seems to be a bit incorrect to me. The gradient from black to blue looks very good. Below is a photo of the gen dial.

astonjenks Posted October 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Thanks guys I am not sure about the L and E however I can tell you the dial I have compared to the rep has a much crisper, irredescent finish to it. Once it is installed I will be able to do some shots :-) AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victorDSSD Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 How much was the dial? Looking forward to actual assembled pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k0hr Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) How much was the dial? Looking forward to actual assembled pics. I saw them listed, member Whoopy12 posted about them last week. Their no longer on ebay I see, I recall them being like $250? Either this guys picture isn't that great, or that "DEEPSEA," font is pretty darn yellow, it should be greener. If, and when a factory gets these watches correct, or I may buy one.
