I think bk's DSSD v3 is the same as the best(ultimate) version of the cartel's dealers.

This get's more and more confusing as the days pass.

[FxrAndy]

Well i would hope that BKs is the same as rivers

[Ztech]

So then V2 is the same as V3. So then why is it even called V3?

[watchlover1]

Does anyone have actual pics of V1 and V2?

[hiker01]

at least we all know that bk adds his personal touch to his watches!

Check out this link. Not sure if this is V1 or V2.

that is for sure V2

As far as I am concerned there are really only 2 versions from two different factories. The first version was the wrong size and died quickly. The Eta911 looks like the first properly sized version and has the "ceramic sandwich" bezel with better bezel font but everyrthing else inferior and version 2 is all ceramic bezel with too thin font but decent bracelet, etc.. And if you have ever seen the gen none begin to mimic the dial effect of the gargantuan den crystal. Similar to the Fiddy issue. You can do all you want to a Fiddy but without a proper crystal everything looks different. A true ultimate version is going to require a custom crystal and individual serial numbers since it is sitting out on the rehaut.

I just asked Andrew, and he said that the one which is being referred to as 1:1 - the one that seems perfect except the skiny bezel font aka V3...is the last one slated for release. I have to wonder though, will they perhaps fix the bezel midstream like they did with the GMT IIC? Damn confusing.

[tenacious_b]

Oops even more stirring the pot.....I told Andrew that I thought it was sad that this model would end on such a sour note (skinny bezel font); his reply is as follows:

"Maybe the 2nd batch will be improved a little. thanks"

Like sands through the hour glass, so are the days of our lives......

Can river source honpo's watches????

[Watchmeister]

Actually, if River can source from Honpo than you may get the ultimate version since they sell a separate insert (although it may be the same one).

[Chicken Manny]

I ordered one from River. Curious to see it live. I did notice the hopno watermark on the photos so one would assume that is his supplier?

Who knows. It's always a shell game finding the right version.

[bwhitesox]

If River can get Honpo watches then that opens the door for some very nice reps that we can't get here....I think a PM to River is in order.

Is this the V3/4 now?...just listed on Josh's site:

[MADRED7]

Does not look convincing....thr bezelnumbers are still too thin and the lume is green not blue (beside the pearl)

The one I got this week looked nicer (and with blue lume) and it was sold as version No.2

So guys till now, which one is the best DS??

[mb7000]

I would say the v3 is best.... the bezel is an easy swap..

After being backloggd in LA Customs all week and then rerouted to Santa Monica .. my Deep Sea has finally been released .. but it's the weekend and with the rush of Christmas mail I doubt to get it until early next week sometime..

I take issue with the pics that the maker produces .. many times the colour is overly saturated .. ergo making the colour altogether different from the real (rep) deal ..

so I am trying to keep an open mind and not jump to too many definative conclusions until I have the actual product in hand .. also , not planting too many expectations .. just .. hurry up and wait ... to see what the maker did to replicate the genuine.. I can't believe that with the genuine in hand that the lume would turn out green and then be produced like that..

so we shall see what we shall see ....

[hambone]

I agree the font on the bezel appears way to thin. This is the version I bought from Hont with a ceramic bezel and the font on the numbers seem to be more accurate. The lume is green not blue, but it is of no consequence to me. Nice watch for sure.

[wombat247]

Is it just me or is this all starting to seem like this just isn't worth it?
