help me choose a DSSD

[arg_]

looking for an entry level Deepsea, due to limited budget, and currently I am between these two ryan and WI

Not sure if the dealers do have them as I haven't asked yet, but nevertheless which one would you suggest? (or any other alternatives)

thanks

 

[sensei]

i got one from ryan.
very good seller, incredible fast (paid 21 dec, got it 24 dec) and watch is nice

Deffo Ryan.

Wow, that one from WI is like the very first version of the dssd rep, not very accurate at all, it was made from a regular seadweller. Havent seen one of those in a LONG time.
Might be kind of neat to have from a rep collectors stand point, but not if your trying to fool anyone.
The one from Ryan looks pretty good for the money,
Trevor has that same one i think for $98...http://v.yupoo.com/photos/trevorwatch/albums/2201492/

Personally i think Trusty time has the best version so far
They have a video there to of it

Here's link to cheapest best version

thank you guys, really valuable input.

I'll probably go either with Trevor or Ryan. Trusty's may be even better but is beyond my budget

Buy the DSSD by Sead.
Same watch , same flaws of all DSSD , (do not ask me what , even the walls know them) , costs less , you will arrive before.

well, Trevor advised me against the 21j movement for DSSD because in his experience there were many reliability issues.

I really appreciate his advice but seems strange to me since I have quite a few reps with 21j and none had a problem so far. Is it maybe the particular combo that does not work well?

I have to agree.......

Trevor always advises against 21 Js. Youve got to remember he handles hundreds if not thousands of watches. And from a statistical point of view, hes correct. The 21J movements are less reliable than the 25J 2836/ 2834s.

But then again, if your 21j dies, replacment of the movement is only like $20

thanks,
my experience with 21j has been positive so far and as you rightly say it is cheap to replace if something goes wrong

Buy a ultimate from a td with a clone movement or swiss ETA if you prefer that. Prepare your self that you have to mod the watch with lume and at least get the version 7 timemarkers from puretime or trevor. If not dont do it, you Will find to Many flaws over time, that Will kill your interest in the watch.

RYAN. His service is top and his shipping is excellent, and say more for the chap!

How does Ryan's DSSD compare to TT's or Trevor's?

in the end I went with Ryan. Never bought from him before, I found the communication very quick and professional.

Will post pictures when I get it, it will take a while though as I opted for airmail.

Thanks everybody for the help

:cheers:

It's my first Rolex and I have a feeling it will be getting a LOT of wrist time

Thanks everyone for the valuable input :cheers:
