MiguelCadiz Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 My dear gentlemen. I'm proud to introduce you my DeepSea SeaDweller. It has arrive today from Tony a fella seller I met at Cqout and with whom I've stablished a long term business relation that lasts two years. The main point is the price, I got it at 90 bucks shipping included. Tony made a great discount for being a returning customer. The first impression, overall good. The watch is heavy as a rock, in spite of my first thoughts, the bracelet feels a little heavier and less flimsy than others found in subs and sds. It's all brushed like the gen and it has the glidelock clasp. It also has the ridiculous tapering from the endlinks to the clasp. You can have a glance right now, I rubbed the bracelet to take all the fingerprints I left sizing it. As you can see, the crystal gets any glare around. It's domed mineral. The dial is well executed the lacquering is good and the markers are fine. I hope one of you mates tell if the hands are right. Here's the glidelock clasp, at first very hard to open and engage but a little lube and works really fine. Sorry for the quality but I'm not used to macros yet, shame on me!!! I think that the measures come nearly to the gen, the case is 43 mm w/o crown and it's 17'8 mm tall. Here you can see a side view. Note that the crown sits a bit low for accomodating the movement I guess: Talking 'bout the movement it has a 21j mov. installed. I think it's hi beat because the second hand moves nearly as fast as my swiss 4th gen PO. I've not been able to open the caseback because my rolex opening tool doesn't fit. Here you can see a close up of the pearl and bezel engravings. Obviously at this price there's no ceramic at all but the insert shines like a diamond although in this photo it's hardly noticeable. Ooops I forgot to tell that the lume is green!! Finally a mandatory wristshot and a group photo with his workmate PO. The PO is not working because it has been in its box for nearly two weeks: I hope you have enjoyed this little review. I'll be posting some more pics in the next few days. Cheers!!!

Ztech Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Can the Rollie experts chime in on this one? It looks really good to me, but what do I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 i don't think that any of these reps are very accurate yet. good deal though, the bracelet is brushed which i think is correct,the cgs & crown is way off. i'm a big rollie fan but this watch doesn't move me too much. too bulky for me.
