jkarpas Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Today i received my dssd from andrew, its the eta version. As always service was excellent and communication was instant , emails went back and forth in a chat like speed! I unwrapped the watch and quality controlled it, to find that 6 o'clock marker had some lume running over the markers frame and also some dust particles around the outer edge of the dial. I decided to open the watch and have a try. The caseback opened using a ruber glove, it was not so tightly screwed down but i am thankful for this as it came off easily with no scratches at all. After removing the two piece caseback i witnessed what i believe and hope to be a swiss eta stamped under the balance. Two movement clamps and screws after and after removing the crown i turned the watch over and got the movement out. Using a toothpick and a loupe i removed excess lume from 6 o'clock marker and using a cotton ear bud and a joe blower i removed all the dust from the dial. The quality of the watch amazed me. No rough metal everything is finished fine, crown and tube are very sturdy and smooth. After i silicon greased all the seals i decided to oil the rotor bearings just to make it even more quiet. As i was busy doing all this stuff the bracelet was soaking in oil. I followed the same process to assemble the watch and put the bracelet back, which now felt even better. Everything went fine and i am very happy now. Hope you enjoyed! This is a truly well made watch and is great for those who like their diver watches chunky and big.

Rolexman Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Good Job! And thanks for the pics ( although a little low in res.). In this hobby 9 out of 10 reps have some irregularities which one can easily fix themselves. You have proven it. Enjoy your DSSD, it's a great watch!

jkarpas Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 i am open for trades in eu as i think this is too chunky for my wrist. Its hardly worn and i am looking for a hublot HBB or an iwc. Would also consider trades with multiple less valuable watches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
