I sat out in the garage all morning (pretending to be working) waiting for the mail carrier so I could intercept this treasure. All I can say is, wow! This is without a doubt the nicest watch (bar none, rep or gen) I've ever owned. Chris and company have outdone themselves in both service and product. I have never seen a "real" DSSD but I can't imagine it could look much better. I am not a DSSD expert but even if it was 100% incorrect I would have to say that at USD $148 (DG2813 version) this has got to be considered one of the best buys (if not the best) on the rep market, in my newbie opinion.
For a Rolex this is truly a massive watch weighing in at 216 gm which is almost 100 gm heavier than the usual Submariner rep The fit and finish is superb, the band exudes quality, and the glide-lock clasp operates as smooth as butter. The bezel has a mirror-like glossy finish, nicely engraved numerals and markings, and the pearl is not a bulbous zit like some versions and glows a nice pure blue as do the hour markers and hands.
It has been said that "a picture is worth a thousand words" so enough of my rambling, on to the pix!
First is pretty much "life-sized":
Second is slightly magnified:
OK, time for my cold shower and back to buying cheap Subs!!!
