clkcadet Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I just received my SSD V2 from a reputable dealer on our forum. Now it looks a little different from the one on his site. The first thing that bothered me is that the HE valve is a titanium color is this accurate? Also the thickness of the case does not look accurate... it looks like an ordinary Submariner case with a HE valve in it. On the site it says accurate thickness (14.5mm) but I am not sure if this is the case itself, or the bezel and caseback included. I am posting pics for you to look at and please advise if this is correct. For comparison purposes I took side to side shots with my Gen Daytona. Any opinions are greatly appreciated! All the best and a Happy New Year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 The SSD V2 has the brushed Ti look to it. That is correct. Whether or not the gen has this is a different matter...but the rep does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doofus Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Gen does indeed have Ti helium release valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Manny Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 It looks good to my eyes, but I'm no expert. Lug holes may be depend on the year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clkcadet Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Thanks to all for responding. My main question is the thickness of the case... Is it about the same thickness of a submariners case (bezel and caseback included)? I do not have a gen sea dweller to match with but most pics show a much larger case. This is what is bothering me the most! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 bezel looks correct, but the case does look thin. I will measure mine, and post it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Manny Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 The major difference in thickness between the two is in the caseback and crystal. About an inch thicker each. If the case is thicker it isn't by much. <1mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 just measured my V1 and its a hair over 5mm measure at the HE valve. yours looks fine to me. wear her well M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clkcadet Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Clockmakers site (hacko) says case thickness should be 14mm and the sub is 13mm... I knew it didn't look right but if everyone says their ssd v2 is the same I guess its 1:1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
