gioarmani Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Posted April 9, 2009 A great tip. Thank you very much. Here is my result (After a sleepless night). Excellent job! And excellent date window. Which dealers V4 is that?
bfb Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 Excellent job! And excellent date window. Which dealers V4 is that? Thank you! The watch is from PT, 6 months old and a V3.
gioarmani Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) I was being facetious about the "V4". I haven't seen a date-window like that on a V3. If it's 6 month old, you sure you didn't get shipped a V2? See what I mean? There are too many damn versions of each release to keep track of... Edited April 9, 2009 by gioarmani
bfb Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 Its really hard to say which version it is ... there is no etched crown on the glass and only the lume of the hands is blue, the markers are green/bluish. The font of the bezel was very thin. http://www.rwg.cc/members/Rlx-Deep-Sea-dwe...era-t86671.html
Delicious Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 thanks a lot for this very usefull tread :-)
pybu15 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 Thank you very much for the modding tutorial. I will start on mine tomorrow. Is unscrewing the rotor mandatory? Will it hurt the movement, if it is not done? Cheers.

mastrmindalliance Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 I'm going to do the bezel part of this to my "ultimate" even though uit's already a remarkable rep. I'm going to use either just white or maybe mix in some silver for accuracy (I've been scrutinising the gens in the flesh) but have a quick question... Is there a paricular reason for using nail polish remover rather than thinnners or turps used in regular enamel clean up? Oh, and thanks heaps for tip Gioarmani, great one!
gioarmani Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Posted October 3, 2009 It's viscosity is thinner and has the fastest evaporation rate. In other words, it's not going to thin out the paint left behind too much, which might water it down or re-wet it to the point that it has to dry all over again.
DrJerry Posted December 23, 2009 Report Posted December 23, 2009 This is my first post! I received a DSSD from Andrew @ Trusty time in mid December '09. How do I know which version I have? I do know it isn't the Rolex clone movement.
chris32111 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Posted May 6, 2010 how do i remove the bezel and add a new one...someone help!
stretchrunner Posted July 7, 2010 Report Posted July 7, 2010 Just a note here to say I have received my dssd from Trevor and ordered it and recieved in about 10 days time and I am happy watch looks great and the lume is perfect and match hour markers and hands. The winding of the crown stem is alittle jagged when winding the watch..similar to a chain slipping on your bicycle sprocket. My 3 other dssd where smooth in the winding...Has any here now what that is?? My 1st dssd looked great blue lume matched and all...then I sold it not knowing that most rep do not match...in the hour and hand markers...SO IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A GREAT WATCH OUT OF THE BOX..TREVOR Time is the one....Though others here have a different view my experience is good...well ...we'll see is the winding is going to be a problem.
stretchrunner Posted September 28, 2010 Report Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) I have a question here I know that vac and zig are busy but about how long is the return on having you watch serviced-relumed-pearl redo-and the he valve sealed ?? I sent my watch of and was received on july 20th and this is my first upgrade and it is now sept 21st and still no word on delivery. Thanks stretchrunner Edited September 28, 2010 by stretchrunner
Irontomkidd Posted November 1, 2010 Report Posted November 1, 2010 How’s the crown on this watch? Is it replaceable with a Gen? I know it’s a huge crown and may not be available.
ceocorona Posted September 26, 2014 Report Posted September 26, 2014 great review! Holy old thread…. Hey do yourself a favor and read some reviews on the must newer and improved DSSDs of 2014. Much has changed since 2009/2010 when this thread was first initiated. Welcome to the forums!
