gioarmani Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Here's the newest & best version of the SSD I've seen yet; I picked it up from a dealer over @ Repgeek named Sead: http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=14930 Better bracelet, better cut (and thicker!!) bezel than my other that you've seen pictured so often on here: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=58717 http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=65712 This bezel is much, much closer to the gen. If he can get his hands on more models exactly like this one, I highly suggest you pick one of these up. I'm unclear as to whether the other suppliers have upgraded the bezel as well. Enjoy. For comparison's sake, here's the old bezel: And here's the new: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 That is clearly much closer to the oem Bezel for sure. The end links look nicer too. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Did you trim the cg's, Gio, or did they come that way? The bezel looks good (better). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Looks good. Sead seems like a great new dealer too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 wow that bezel is FAT. bracelet looks better too. as was asked before, did you trim the guards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gioarmani Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Modded CGs, polished the bracelet, gen divers ext, new insert & pearl, and regulated the movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 This is a very interesting observation. I have had three SSD and have just compared pics of all three. The current one has this new bezel the other two are much thinner. I think POSSIBLY even thinner than the other one that you show. The bracelet is also much better on the last one as you have shown.

seadweller3 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Great looking SSD! (I sent you a PM by the way) Is Silix's new SD this same model?... take a look: http://www.silix-prime.com/product.asp?id=1889 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanya Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 For what it's worth I just chatted with Andrew from Trusty and he assured me his is the Best Super Sea Dweller. He hasn't let me down yet so I ordered one tonight. Will let you all know and post pics when it arrives. ANTICIPATION......ANTICIPAAAAAAATION Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANTICIPATION......ANTICIPAAAAAAATION They're all the exact same watch, regardless of the dealer; it just depends on who gets the newest batch from Guangzhou. The last one I got from Andrew is the one in the thinner comparison shot above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 my ssd bezel is fatter than the "thin" pic you show gio, but just thinner than your new one. very odd.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jot9011 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 They're all the exact same watch, regardless of the dealer; it just depends on who gets the newest batch from Guangzhou. That's the problem.....I think it all depends on which barrel they pull the bezels out of that day. @tanya - FWIW, every dealer will tell you they have the best version of whatever you are asking about. I never believe the hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cskent69 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Gio - is the HE value any better on this new version that the old one with the thinner bezel? It does look different in the new picture... Also - i wonder if the new bezel will fit on the old watch? I bet it probably would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gioarmani Posted March 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 HEV looks same, but I always hit mine with the buffer to make them less matte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Great looking watch, but why do you shaped the CG's from the inner side? They have to be tight to the crown, like they are from factory... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Angus is listing this new improved bezel model and posted one off to me today so we will see when it comes. I have the first gen rep plus next week I should have a gen to compare too if the deal comes off. When I asked Joshua about it he dismissed it as rubbish and said we are now on the 3rd production run but was not aware of any real difference in models! I guess he is not the man to buy from on this occasion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg1459 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 The thickness of the bezel of my new ssd is between your old and new version And crystal doesnt stick out too much like yours, mine has also a gen insert and crystal thickness is just like the gen.. Marked red is the crstal rehaut, is very thin by me, even thinner than your last version Marked green thickness of upper bezel thicker, but not as thick as your last version I also think theres also minimal differences in gens depending production year.
