"Official DSSD Club"

But what is really interesting is that both have the same 43mm case size. I measured the outside of the bezel teeth.

The DSSD is *supposed* to be 44mm. Case measurements are taken on the case below the bezel from 10 to 4 or 2 to 8.

Interesting. I'm going to do some more research when I get the DSSD back tomorrow.
If my kids will let me. lol! Don't hold your breath.

Does anyone know about the Ti caseback being real Ti on the ARF, where as it is not Ti on the Noob (its coated to look like Ti and can wear off)?

Is that the case for both 116660 and 126660 versions?

The noob 126660 has a steel caseback.
I think ARF has Titanium but it is thin.

OK. Interesting. Thank you!

I think the Noob has a Ti coloured back, doesnt it, Is the Ti colour similar, between Noob and Gen, I know you have both....

the noob 126660 caseback is colored steel. If you use a ball as case opener the color will went awy soon... I saw an eample last weekend of that case.

The color was gone when I received it.

The ARF caseback looks pretty much the same as gen.

I have received the beast. It looks stunning and I am even considering selling the rest of the collection because I'm so in love with my new baby.

When this was at the Spa I bought the 126660 and I was sure I was going to prefer the new model because of the wider bracelet. I didn't. I actually prefer the narrow bracelet. In my opinion it makes a big watch a little smaller and on my wrist which is quite wide and flat, it wears better.

I really love the matte black dial. I was never really a fan of the D-BLUE and now that I have seen the gen black dial mounted on the watch it's so beautiful.
I like the fact that the Deepsea is on the top half of the dial and in smaller letters. Makes the dial less cluttered and the watch more discrete and letting the rest of the parts do more of the talking.

I was surprised how big of a difference it was with the gen hands. The curvature and how the catch the light is amazing.

The lume is outstanding. It's a really cool effect when the chromalight glows in broad daylight.

The brushing almost makes it look like a different watch. Much more refined and catches the light in a different way. I understand why Rolex don't use AR on the crystals, together with the ceramic and the refined case, hands and Bracelet this is a very blingy tool watch. At least in sunlight. And I think many of us want that. To have people's eyes drawn to our beloved watches?

Unfortunately the bezel insert had a thin crack that I hadn't even seen before and it cracked more when the bezel popped of during pressure test.

When I received it I immediately decided to source a new insert. Luckily interaktiv had one on the shelf so it's on its way to Italy as I'm writing this.

I also sourced a new VR3135 to put in it now that this build has spun completely out of control anyway. Over €4.2k in this piece now...but it has been worth it.

With the new insert mounted this is going to be my absolute favorite and I wouldn't be surprised if I am a OWG soon.

Stunning. Congratulations. It is awesomely awesome!

I love the way the SEL pokes slightly out of the lugs.... visually better than the flush on the new 126660.

Hello all, hope you can help me.
I've got a noob V10 126660 on the way, with the A3235 movement.
Does any of you know if the movement can be swapped out for a VR3135 or a Swiss eta?

What’s wrong with the A3235?

Nothing as far as I know. I'm just not keen on decorated movements. So want to know what my options are.

The case back takes care of this, unless your going for a sapphire one

I polished the inside of the engine cases on my race bike, no one will ever know I've done it, it doesn't add any performance. But I know, and I'm the only one who feels better for knowing its been done.

There isnt a clone of the 3235 yet, is there? Sorry, my bad... there is, I thought they were a3135 and a3235 wasnt available yet.

I ensured I got one with an ETA clone so I can simply swap with gen swiss when the time comes. But its a good question, is there some kind of movement ring which would allow an ETA to go into a 3235 caseset?

 

[fredflintstone]

Its a decorated movement, I assume based on the a2836/2824 movements. If I was buying the watch new I would of gone for a non decorated movement, but I got a nice deal so, well, here we are!
