I've tried on a gen 136660. And have also seen it side by side with my ARF 116660 JC. Together, differences are always visible. I haven't seen a 12X JC in the flesh, but from all pics I've seen, the CGs are way off. Keen to see yours if you have pic.I have an ARF-based BK 126660 and it's friggin' unreal in every aspect. The biggest challenges on the Cameron is the fade from blue to black, and the platinum numbers of the Bezel. Then again, who has EVER seen a GEN Cameron in the wild? I haven't . . .
I agree on the V10's blue to black transition~This was the only time I seen DSSD JC in the wild. I have a noob V10 and the transition is off but the only way to know is if you have them in your hands. The black version DSSD and the Sea Dweller 43 (I have ARF) are so close it’s impossible to tell. And the part I like is the Noob V10 to me looks like this is how it should have been from factory. And the Gen looks like a fake version, noobs blue is amazing to me.
My point about the CGs is visible in this picture. The inside angle from the end of the CG back towards the crown is too steep, resulting in CGs that are very fat at the base on each side. A good example of the ARF 126660 CGs vs Gen shown here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/th...ion-904l-ss-case-and-bracelet-a2824.10928408/Here's a very "casual" photo I took of my 126660 last Friday. Check out the fit of the SELs; all 4 sides are so flush with the case that there is zero improvement possible, not even for an AI-controlled surgery robot. BK improves multiple aspects of the watch and his work is worth every penny. I wear it a lot and have done so since I received it from BK late in December of 2021. And keep in mind, its engine is a GEN Swiss ETA, for peace of mind.
I actually saw one Saturday. I took a 2 hour trip to visit my nearest AD and get on the list.I have an ARF-based BK 126660 and it's friggin' unreal in every aspect.

Man, how stunning are they! Especially under those LEDs.The green "DEEPSEA" text on the gen was brighter, I think this is a known difference. The new one had a larger date window, but that was a change from the 11 to 12, I don't know if the ARF 12 changed the size of the date window. If they are reusing the 11 dial, then it is going to be wrong.
Even if they were available, I don't think they are worth the asking price when the reps are damn near visually perfect.
Hi mate, I just came across this thread. It appears the member who did the work is still active, so you may be able to get your mod to accept a VR or VS movement done...Bad news from my v10 noob…..
is not possible swapping the clone movement inside instead the deco plated……i m so sorry
@SS72 , I think you were right to pass on it. I suppose if you want it as something to pass down, then by all means. I don't think it's worth the price unless you have a disposable income that provides you a lifestyle where you don't need to work. Otherwise the ARF is the way to go.Man, how stunning are they!

I don't think anyone has gotten the green DEEPSEA right, yet. When they do...
The date window on the 12 is the same as the 11. But the 12 introduced the crown between 'Swiss Made', so the 11 dial will still be wrong. The larger date window happened with the 13. Its seconds and minutes hans are also slightly longer, and the bezel is lower/closer to the case, so the crystal sits a little higher as a result.
I was on the list for the 136660 last year. At the time (December), the price was $18.5k AUD from an AD. They had a display model in stock and I tried it on. I was set to go as soon as it was available. Then, in the second week of January, they called to tell me it was available. However, the price was increased to $21.5k. I had to let it go.
If I get a gen, it'll be a) from a reputable grey market dealer, and b) when the AUD is worth more than 0.60 USD! If I have the opportunity to build a franken before then, I'd probably pass on the gen.

Fellow DSSD enthusiasts, I have posted a WTB thread already but would also like to mention here that I’m looking for a modded or Franken DSSD black dial. 116660 or 126660, please let me know if you plan to sell one of these beauties! Thank you very much! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalkforum.replica-watch.info
I said the same thing to myself before buying my first gen 16610, and then before the 116610. No discipline!@SS72 , I think you were right to pass on it.

I do think that the 13 looked a little better than the 11, the bracelet size certainly improves the proportions. I'm indifferent about the date window. I think the date font was a little larger as well.
