Gio - if I wanted to get one of these, which version would I ask for? Is it still a V4, or are they calling it the V3?

Fantastic pictorial and kudos on the Lume job. You're a brave man!

gioarmani7428,
that's one S-E-X-Y chunk of metal, your LUME mod looks great, have just bought a PAN, but I reckon this is my next piece.
Is this why you sold the other DEEPSEA you had....?
Wear it in well!
M*M

Thanks a lot, all. :)

Honestly, he didn't say if this was V-whatever--there are too many version of this piece to keep track anymore. I heard they were supposed to come out with a doubled/sandwich dial in order to get the date-window correct, and it wasn't expected till next month, but this date window looks like the gen bevel and is much deeper--I know he is the only dealer with it, so maybe he got it before everyone else or a different factory came out with a better version than the one they're waiting a month for. Or this could be that very same watch; not sure. I do know it's by far the best one I've seen yet.

Apparently they have updated the site--this is now listed as the "best version" at Eurotimez. It is also labeled the V5.

Awesome job on the lume! This version looks great. The dial looks glossy, not semi-glossy. Am I right?

I like big watch and heavy ! So I should like the DSD...,and I don't ! The only thing I don't like on this watch is the "ORIGINAL GAS ESCAPE VALVE" inscription...Without this inscription I should have certainly bought one !

A Sub or A GMT Master with teh same size would be PERFECT !

Hi Gio,

does your watch have the coronet @6 and is it of a suitable size?

I can't get a straight answer from Chris.

Thanks Mate.

nice, very very nice.....makes my "V4" DSSD look pretty weak.....I've not been able to hook up with Vacuum, but would love to pay one of the many artisans on this site to mod it.....

Mate,

You should be very proud of that post and that watch ...!!! It has definitely got me thinking about getting a DSSD. And to re-lume it by yourself without any previous experience?

Dude... Take a bow !! :mrgreen:

I didn't check to be honest. i swapped out my crystal and donated it to a member in need. I'll write him tomorrow when my liver isn;t swimming. :)
