Wouldn't you like ur fav watches at a substantial amount less. If the market is forced to give better prices and Greg is the cause of it. I guess that's revutionary for me. There's a reason Greg wants to keep watchwoot hush hush... Cause just the word of mouth would carry it.

The Rehaut is turned counterclockwise on the photos. Hope they all aren't like that.

The E of Escape, the long side of the E should be right on the 12 marker.

That photo shows the right side of the E| like that....instead of |E......

open up case back and adjust slightly should solve the problem. :)

Tech: Yeah the E is set as "El" on mine, but its a minute detail I can live with for now. I wonder if there is a way to correct this?


The rehaut is a removable piece....I don't see why you shouldn't be able to remove the movement and holder and turn it maybe?

They got the bezel insert right on this version, just like Euro V5

The spacing at the 10 is equal between the markers...mine is offset..ultimate version. Trying to source a bezel insert from them to swap.

If there were a way to order a replacement HEV for this and have it replaced, you'd have a ROCKIN' DSSD without a doubt.
I already have a rocking DSSD V5, it's only $210 for a clone and $265 for a genuine ETA.

If it rocks much harder it will likely break your LCD screen on your computer.

Not my experience. I have ordered 4 watches now from D4M, and I just got my DSSD. Awesome bang for the buck, super quality.

My E on the rehaut is spot on although hard to tell from the picture. Sorry for the picture quality!

G, Do you still have the gen ETA available, my brother is drooling for it.

I am submitting orders right away right now,, this month I'm doing them every day or every other day because of christmas. EMS however is very sporadic, I'm seeing more threads and comments from other people (potential customers) that orders are taking upwards of 3 weeks,, some are hitting in a weeks time, others are taking 3 weeks,, mostly shipping issues,, dont have a clue why.. shipped via ems same day,, watch #1 takes 7 days to receive from order, watch #2 took 20 days.. both ordered and shipped on same day..

Tis the season right now,, happening to all dealers at the moment,,

I received mine a few days ago and here is my opinion...

I bought the Gen ETA for $265 and and metal work looks really nice..
Came wrapped very well and took about 14 days total to arrive..
The crystal was the first thing that caught my eye easy to read dial due to its clearity and reflection.. It has more of a dome shape than most of my watches and I guess no AR coating at all.. No matter what the lighting you can not read the rehalt at all.. At best you might see a letter or two but there is not way to read Rolex, let alone the Serial No. ..
Another big problem for me is the Bezel, it has a very sloppy fit and no watch I own even comes close to how bad this is.. Add that to the rehalt being out of location on all these v5 watches and no warranty other than not to arrive not DOA I would wait for another version DSSD than than buy this model.. I would hate to see what the $210 model looks like if this is the better version..

I have had some bad lucky in the past and hoped this watch would break the bad luck but it seems very few are as nicly made as the UPO so I'm just go back to saving my money for a inenpensive gen if I get the wanting for another watch..

Sorry D4Me I really wanted to write a good review for you but the bezel is just that bad...

Wow it's unfortunate you are having this experience. I have the $210 clone eta version and my experience is totally the opposite. I do understand in Reps as they are manufactured in small batches through small chinese family houses it can be the luck of the draw. I am glad to say that i have yet to experience a bout of bad luck yet. I doubt another version is about to come out...
