Thanks for that DarthAlex.
I've ordered some 2x2mm crimp tubes to do the job.
I'm never gonna get it to look like the gen. I'll see how it goes.

Thanks again
Pete

daz8161 just posted some of his Pb Dad inspired Vintage DSSD which I like a lot!

Well it all started with Pbdads Abyss, when i first seen it I was in awe! I really wanted one and decided I would try make one of my own. It took a very long time to complete but I am very happy with the results.

I started with a V5 Dssd and did the following mods:

  • Shaved off CG's
  • Aged bezel and did the coin edge treatment
  • Fitted Rolex Brevet crown
  • Aged case
  • Sealed HEV
  • Aged dial and sealed with matt lacquer
  • Aged hands
  • Aged datewheel
  • Had movement serviced in Hong Kong while I was on holiday
  • Fitted high dome plexi
  • Had a plexi installed into the titanium caseback
  • Customized a Nato strap so the movement can still be seen

Love the riveted bracelet idea! Something I thought I could never have on a DSSD- guess I wasn't thinking outside the box enough. :( The "coin edge treatment" is brilliant! As far as the lume goes, I'd keep in mind the new Vintage Lume from W@tchlume.


What you did is a true masterpiece, and there is a word for this execution: Bravo!

good eye! but is the pearl also a bit off centered?

Hard to tell, I doubt it though.

Here's a sneak peak Ps of my project, almost ready to come home...

Here's my DSSD.

Bought from Robert (T4D) as part of his DSSD/GMT/Sub deal.

At the moment it's running with Asian 21J, but I've got a ETA 2836-2 movement to fit.

This is mine, purchased from Timesshop; no mods, and as someone who is still learning, I have no clue as to its version:
