1:1 Deep Sea Sea Dweller (Ultimate?) Update

[watchlover1]

I am starting to think the same way. It is to late for me since I should be getting my watch in Monday. I will post pics when I get it.

Now is it better or more acceptable to have the Ceramic Bezel that is Smooth with the thin font or Bezel that is engraved with a closer font?

what about the domed crystal issue....no version has a better crystal yet?

Argh! Driving me mad!

Was hoping to get myself a decent Christmas present - think I'll get a GMT II instead and give this another couple months to settle down.

I just received my Rep of the new Deep Sea Sea Dweller and Pasha Seatimer. It is a very nice watch over all.

Flaws are as follows:

The Bezel is nice and has the thicker font but is not smooth.

The Bracelet needs to be oiled.

The Lume is incorrect. The Hands are the only ones that have blue the rest is Green.

On the Diver Extension there is no engraved Rolex Emblem.

Crystal is incorrect.

No etching at 6. I think that is better so you do not see it.

Compared to the Gen and I like the rep crystal better.

Over all a GREAT looking Watch.

See my pics and sorry for the poor quality.

Nice watch but it is a V2 not a V3...

What about this one...is it V3/V4?

It seems that way. I prefer the V2 since it has the thinker font on the bezel even though it is not smooth. Movement is Swiss ETA 2836-2.

The Lume does not matter to me. Especially when I compare any watch to ye Gen Ball Master II Diver.

Thanks

That is what everyone is calling V3 aka 1:1...it is the ONLY one so far with the correct crown guard that is curve cut around the entire crown. It also suffers from bezel font that is too thin.

I hate to put a spanner in the works but do any of these models have a 8mm crown like the original?

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.

Did you get any answer from River???
