MasterOfPuppets Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 i'd go for the PO cuz wherever u might go, people will always have that assumption of Rolex = fake, even if it was a gen! the PO is a very elegant yet stylish choice, it can go with everything, and all it takes is 2 simple modes to look exactly like the gen just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 As above really, I think the Planet Ocean is the more versatile watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
If you see Kay Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Get both. Although I don't have the DSSD I do have the Sub. The Sub is my beater watch, wereas I baby the PO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Both are quite different watches, and although I prefer the PO by a long shot, I would probably go for the DSSD (against everything I believe in haha) The latest DSSD's are built well, they're very accurate, and the proportionate cost to the gen is much smaller than the PO. If the UPO was as accurate as the DSSD rep I'd say the PO, but until that day, I would go for the DSSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beco Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I agree PO is more versatile watch and people will not asume that is a fake (they do for every Rolex) but I'm concerned because there has been many PO with broken crown screw. I think DSSD replica is better built watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormTooper4 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 DSSD quality wise I think it will be the better watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patinga Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 45.5 UPO. I just can't take the thing off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 DSSD is very uncomfortable to wear. I love Rolex's and hate that one...Get the UPO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carl Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Buy them both and wear what you want. In a few years time they will both be gone from the rep world. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaPOFL Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 i think UPO is a better deal, and with a few modes it looks as close to gen as possible. The DSSD is nice too... Ok! i have no idea *siiiiiigh* lol good luck!! BUT imho, i think im going to get the upo before the dssd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest carlsbadrolex Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Here is my rather biased position (although Im trying to be impartial). Ive had the UPO and currently have the "V4" DSSD. In my opinion the watches are such completely different creatures that its hard to determine which is the better choice. I like the UPO, but the OMEGA emblem drove me nuts. By the time you source a Silix dial and do the transplant you realize there are other things that need to be done also and now your in for the long haul. I prefer the DSSD because although people might assume its a fake (This really depends on what circles you travel in). Personally, none of my friends would think a watch I was wearing was a replica (unless it was one of my friends from here). You also have the fact that MOST Rolex owners have never seen a DSSD in person. And arent going to clearly recall the pics they saw on some forum or press release. The quality of the DSSD is about the best Ive seen (the GMT IIc is the best). With a couple very simple mods you have a great watch that in my opinion is a much better rep than the UPO. If you have small wrists or are not sure about wearing a watch as large as the DSSD, then maybe the UPO is the better bet for you. Look on TZ or RF and see how many Gen DSSD owners are flipping their watches for a loss because after shelling out $9250 they realized it was too big for them. I personally LOVE the way it fits. I love the weight. If its a LITTLE too large for you, try it on a nice NATO strap, although that pushes the watch about another 2mm away from the wrist, it can be worn more tightly and ultimately even more comfortably. Good luck with your decision!!! T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I hear this argument on the forums all the time... If you are a 19 year old kid with no job living with mom and dad in a middle class home driving a Honda Civic... yes this would be the case, every one will assume its fake. If your known income or lifestyle does not warrant the use fullness of a $5000 watch... then yes, this might be the case and people will think its a fake. But I think that if a poll was taken, you would find that more than 75% of the membership of this site could not only afford a genuine Rolex, but they live a lifestyle that would create the impression that they would not wear a replica. Put a couple gens in your collection, and you can get away with wearing just about anything. What I do think is funny are the number of people who wear replica $20k + watches... Now that is a little more difficult to pull off. But it can be done, and done well by some of the membership here. Look at Lanikai... I DARE YOU to look at him, look at his wrist (tree trunk) and ask him if the watch he is wearing is a gen or rep. Go ahead... DO IT!!! Its all about who YOU are. People will assume your genuine Rolex is fake before they'll assume your fake Rolex is genuine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a forty year old civil engineer and pay 40% income tax, live in a 5 bedroom detached house and my wife and I both drive pretty new Audi's. It's been quite some time since I 'lived with mum and dad' Most people (ie the petrol station attendant, the checkout girl in the supermarket) will assume your gen Rolex is fake...not your friends! All I'm saying is that 9 out of 10 Rolex you see being worn as you go about your daily grind is fake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Hey Wayward, I was not speaking of YOU as the 19 year old... It was a generalization. Im sorry if you took it otherwise! Congrats on your house and Audi's! I personally dont give a rats ass what the checkout girl thinks about my watch. My friends and the call girls I spend my disposable income on think they are gen!

Wayward Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Hey Wayward, I was not speaking of YOU as the 19 year old... It was a generalization. Im sorry if you took it otherwise! I was only giving my situation as an example...no offence taken. Congrats on your house and Audi's! Thanks...again I was only using that info as an example. I personally dont give a rats ass what the checkout girl thinks about my watch. My friends and the call girls I spend my disposable income on think they are gen! Nor do I... I wish like you I could spend my disposable income on call girls but the wife wouldn't share my enthusiasm! Oh...and I sure as hell wouldn't be calling Lanikai on his Rolex or otherwise!

krpster Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Tough call. I'd say best thing to do is go to AD, try them on and see which one "speaks" to you. Pictures and research is all well and good (also necessary) but in the end you want to be sure you will be happy with the style you chose. Hands on experience is the best way to know. Or like others have said...get them both and call it a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
