Aren 27 Posted January 30, 2011 @ Baldrick, Andy, Narikaa and Sconey. A nice job Mike, even though I am not a DSSD fan. These watches are so popular their prices and quality change all the time. I think this is a nice review, but reviews aren't a substitute for making inquiries and keeping current on market information. I think this needs to be said for members who look at this post in the future. Some times it seems like these reps are like BB's, IPods, laptops, cells phones,whatever. No sooner do you buy it the next newest generation/version comes out. My computer probably became all but obsolete by the time I had it a month. Anyway...nice job Mike and thanks for the laughs guys.

Slim 0 Posted January 30, 2011 Interestingly I had both the mineral & the sapphire versions on taking out both crystals and crunching them in my teeth I noticed as you gnawed them down to about 0.5mm granules you could definitely notice a more pronounced crunchiness to the mineral one. Thanks a lot for the reply, though you're possibly using the word "interestingly" in a broader sense than I'm accustomed to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akira 0 Posted January 31, 2011 I find this post more confusing than helping TBH All watches have several reviews with detail pictures in there sellers review section. A simple link to Ska's DSSD review shows the difference to the $88 RM DSSD Mary as well has a DSSD with 21J...and so on. People who start threads "Whats the difference between the $88 DSSD and the $300 DSSD" just don't bother to read themselves into the topic. In the end it's all about knowledge and taste. I think RM DSSD looks great but the mineral puts me off. I think Roberts DSSD is great value but the low beat? Not for me..... This goes on The facts you deliver are quite obvious if a member has read some threads about movements, lume and crystals. Your intention is good, I just don't find it very helpfull but more confusing. Side to side comparison is still the best way to differenciate between the models. My advice to every newbie who wants a DSSD is... Check your dealer, your budget, how anal you are and you'll find the perfect version for yourself. The many reviews we have are a lot more helpfull Cheers Akira Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeMcNair 0 Posted January 31, 2011 Does anyone on here have one of each of the DSSDs available to take a pic of side by side? I know I sure as hell don't. Maybe a dealer can help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d1isthe1 0 Posted January 31, 2011 Does anyone on here have one of each of the DSSDs available to take a pic of side by side? I know I sure as hell don't. Maybe a dealer can help? Nice review Mike .. I have one dssd from Bk incoming this month .. I do have another one too and shall post an in-depth review when the bk one reaches me... The current version I have is from the noobfactory and what I get from bk will be from the 'noobfactory' as well, so I really need to find out myself too...

stiltzkin 0 Posted January 31, 2011 Does anyone on here have one of each of the DSSDs available to take a pic of side by side? I know I sure as hell don't. Maybe a dealer can help? That is not necessarily going to help you… There are differing version where the only difference is the movement - nothing more. So you can't tell the difference just on look alone... For me it was – decided I wanted the DSSD. I want the closest rep without busting the bank. I find the thread about the $88 rep from Lay. OK that looks nice, but mineral glass, 21J etc puts me off (personal choice). I then see the thread about Roberts $150(ish) DSSD. Looks the muts nuts, but has a low beat movement (for whatever reason, this puts me off) See that this watch IS available with a high beat clone and go for that. So what is that, a third tier DSSD? Whatever it is, I’m happy with it. I could have carried on and looked at the numerous ‘modded’ versions out there or even gone crazy and bought the one I saw in LHR T5. (But I couldn’t afford both the gen watch and a divorce - and the two would go hand in hand) I think the thread is helpful, but you could include the $250 bracket to tick off the major price points. e.g.... http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...667&hl=DSSD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whirr 0 Posted March 31, 2011 updated first post to include roberts 249 DSSD. hope this helps. I am looking for more information comparing that 249$ DSSD and the 178$ DSSD offered by ReplicaMake http://www.replicamake88.com/products/RL02...36-CERAMIC.html Any info is much appreciated. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ska 11 Posted March 31, 2011 ReplicaMake doesn't offer a $249 DSSD. The $178 version is in fact his $258 Asian ETA clone powered replica at sale price. It has correct date-window bevel, correct ceramic bezel insert and a good bracelet but too heavy font on the "Gas Escape Valve" text and his watches are notorious for having uneven lume on the hour markers.

mumum 0 Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) New here, but not to the hobby. This has to be one of the best reviews I have read in a very long time. Sticky for sure. I recently purchased BKs DSSD and had a chance to compare it to a friend's auth one. The OP is on the money, infact probably more detailed than could have been. The only other difference I could think of is that the gen version has a more matte finish of the dial as compared to the BK/Mary version (and the others I assume). Correct me if I am wrong. Though this is something that others have been able to have modded ( I am about to soon) . Edited April 5, 2011 by mumum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alw 0 Posted April 5, 2011 Second to that. Wish I had read this before ordering my 450+USD version. Let´s see how it compares when it arrives later this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
