Very happy with the latest Deep Blue...

[projectologist]

Shipped on Sat., arrived on Tues... gotta love DHL's service!

Fit and finish has come a long way since the first Deepseas hit the rep market.  This one will probably get OEM hands, dw, crown and possibly inner AR.

Also a Yuki movement with the requisite service and OEM upgrades... stay tuned.  The dial I can live with,... for now   the dial finish is improved too.

The Cameron dial far and away a fantastic looking dial. I really like it. It looks. Gorgeous.

These always look impressive to me straight from the factory, so I'm looking forward to seeing you hot rod it.

Beware of the clasp, mine broke very easily.

It was the latest V6s?  And what part of the clasp broke?

[prdubis]

Yes, latest v6s

Thank you for taking the time to post those pics.  I think you should show those to the TD you ordered from and try and get a replacement.

"Beware of the clasp, mine broke very easily."

I call them 'Breakaway' clasps. I had one break first time out and have a modern Exp I with the hinge made in this fashion and afraid to wear it. They should make the hinge mounts and blade in one piece. Iirc rwc had to eat a bunch of them along with ceramic bezel inserts for the first few years. Maybe still eating them. 

Not much of a way to laser weld them together because it would have to be welded outside the contact area and would leave an 'unsightly' bead. That is probably why they solder them together.

As for genuine stuff...I ran out of $$ before rolex 'went modern' and stayed with vintage. I guess there is a lot to be said for sheet metal clasps and aluminum inserts.

may i please ask where did you bought it from and where are you located?

I'm curious with this as I've also just got a v6s and the main thing I've struggled with is how reflective the crystal is, of all my watches I've never had one which is as annoying as this. 

Maybe I'm too used to the AR on my Nav?

intrigued to know your opinions on it

Hi I have a GMT with a clasp break in exactly the same place, this could be repaired with the right solder and hot enough torch.

I did think the clasp was spot welded 

any thoughts on this Officianados

[prdubis]

I have received the new style bracelet and it's much better quality wise, let's hope the clasp will hold out.
