DSSD Showdown - BK / WI / Toro

Recommended Posts

LightGeek

All fresh straight from camera pics uploaded. I removed ALL my comments so you can draw your own conclusions. Sorry to those that still use dialup!

 

When you're browsing, keep in mind the point of this thread. It's not about searching for the ULTIMATE rep, it's to see how many deficiencies (and which ones) you can tolerate -- in direct relation to how much money leaves your wallet. All of these are selected as a "noob" browsing the forum as "suggestions" by others that they are great value at their price points.

Why would you buy a $450+ DSSD over a $120 one? This thread will help note some of the differences. I am by no means a super watch connoisseur, I'm just an average Joe that happened to order three different DSSD.

 

I hope you'll enjoy this short writeup as it certainly took some time and $. Feel free to ask any questions. I'm not going to say which is best, just bring up some comments for you to draw your own conclusions.

Disclaimer:

 

Remember that even though reps may come from the same "factory" or even the same "dealer", my comments are unique to the copy I have and may not reflect what you get right at this moment. Furthermore, prices (in USD) are only accurate to the date of my order and are subject to change.

I recognize image two as the WI DSSD. I'm assuming image one is Toro?

Check his post in his thread. I believe BK mods out the datewheel overlay to the correct font and justification. Your post did not mention that.

He did state in OP that he will be receiving the watch from toro next week, hence only 2 watches pictured.

I made my post prior to the OP adding annotations. I guess I should have waited a bit.
