I agree. Getting it from them means a little extra work though. Josh has a great dial- as far as the finish goes, but the dial markers are wrong (they go on the first year version with the glossy dial). For me, I had an extra dial with the correct markers (slightly thinner ring around the markers lume) that I'm sending out to have swapped onto the Josh dial. I've also spent a lot of time comparing the SS color of the bracelet to regular versions, even going as far as to take it off and mark the back, then mix them up to see if there really is a difference. It is a little whiter than the grayish SS of the other versions. If this is a step you'd like to take, you can order an extra dial from EuroTimez with the right markers on it.

BTW, BK does do some great work, but I've never seen a post where he's offered a custom DSSD...

Assuming it turns up. No guarantee of that lately. Worth the gamble for a dial tho I suppose.

Nope, me either. He does a SD but not a Deep Sea SD AFIK.

I haven't had any problems ordering from Neo in the past, so can only base it on that. As far as BK's SD, the last I read was that he was selling the parts for people to assemble, and not a completed watch. :)

As far as the dial markers go, any Rolex dial that has the thin rimmed edges will do- though it's better to find them in blue. For me, the dial and hands are going to be relumed so it wouldn't matter. The $35 dial I got happens to be blue lumed....

If you buy from Josh, DO NOT PAY FOR AN ETA VERSION! He's selling clone ETA's as gen ETA's.

@Thinkbachs: I saw your other post about the clone ETA too. Would be interesting to see if Josh's DSSD offering is still using a clone. Maybe your other post woke him up.

she answered me right away.

From the posts here, her DSSD is the best ,no?

Also, is the pearl suppose to "lume"? and how can you make the lume last longer?
