I was checking on the progress of something I ordered from Eurotimez and found some new images of the Upgraded DSSD V5 dial and ring lock. To make it easier, I'll post the latest images here...

The only thing that concerns me is it seems like the dial print is a hair thicker than it should be, but I'm happy to see that the lume markers are nice and thin as well as a very nice beveled date window.

Over all, it's great to see a dealer who is listening to our comments/suggestions/gripes and working to improve a product they sell. In my mind this is the best version to get, especially if you can source an HEV to replace the one that comes with the watch. Not that it's really bad, but it seems to be one of those things that I can't seem to stop obsessing over.

Good job ET.

Its good to see that somebody is listening. This model has been a huge success for the factories and with this latest version they are getting incredibly close to the gen. Thanks for posting!

I'm happy if the basic components hit the mark, as far as the SS, we could always purchase gen links a little at a time off eBay and build a new bracelet- or just purchase a gen bracelet all together. :) At the very least, I think if the bracelet is kept clean and shiny, that in itself would make a decent difference...

I'd like to extend a big thanks to ThinkBachs for taking the time to do this task of comparisons when I think it's on everyone's mind to see who's who in the world of DSSD's.....


My only comment to this discussion is please somehow integrate the T4D offering into the equation for added competitiveness.

It seems different than the ultimate depicted here.

Thanks for this :)
What movement is the watch using? can we see some shots of the inside?

Thanks again!

We are at the moment actually stopping the sell of the DSSDs temporarily. We are working on making an even better DSSD, at the moment the prototype looks stunning.. It won't be due in another couple months though, we are planning on making some pictures of the prototype and posting them on here for your comments... I'll have to work this out with Chris though..

Wishing everybody the best this Christmas/NYE Seasons! :victory:

This is good news, I'd rather wait a couple months for something better. This is going to be very interesting to see when it comes out! :)

ETZ's problem is that they keep claiming it is the best ever, then don't deliver, or something is messed up worse etc.

Let's hope they actually pull through this time!!

You know what they say.....Sh!t travels a certain way...and with a good reputation such as EuroTimez.....receiving a watch as advertised is key. Basically put a setback from the factory shouldn't be blamed on ET.

I am almost certain they wish to improve upon their current design, OR there was a manufacturing hiccup to such an extent it warranted this course of action.

Personally I say right on!
A Company that has their ears to our walls in order to better the community with quality reps gets an A+ from me!

All honestly -
Chris @ Eurotimez has never steered me wrong.

Bought one of the best TT subs I've ever seen from him.

Gen ETA - as advertised (I checked and verified it)

Over all just a great watch.

... that being said.
as of late I've heard bad things about the service and over all quality he's been pushing out.

- - - Good to see things are back on track.
