question: my crown is not 100% aligned , do you think I need to go back to dealer or it's better to keep "virgin" ?

second: I cleaned with water and dried with phon, until the "child" was very hot on my hand: do you think it get some damages (rubber, oil, etc)? I can't sleep...

The crowns are very seldom aligned - live with it.

These watches were tested to much more extreme temperatures than you subjected yours to.

Just enjoy your Beast !

thank you, i'm more quiet now also since I'm still nervous about it, but i Can't send back the watch in warranty for this "misuse"...

for the crown, I read somewhere (and I saw a video) that it's really a quick operation to dismount, align the spring and remount the crown, but I know that every rework can damage or scratch a little bit something or at least create some gaps... Do you have any experience on that?
it's hard to accept it on a watch > 10K...

I would'nt risk it just to get the crown aligned - give it a few weeks - I guarantee you that it will be a non issue by then.

I'll wait some weeks to be sure, but I know my mind... do you think is a risk, don't you?

Another point: on the dealer, I asked to remove some mesh. Now one screw is not perfectly inside the mesh, i can feel it: can I screw more by myself?

Welcome all to the Last Frontier.

Very little wrist time for me recently......hopefully can change when I sign up for a PADI course in August.

Had a black DSSD
Really missed it
Loved the D-Blue when it came out, so got this last week when I finally had to get another DSSD


And with this one, the crown lines up properly...

Does anyone know how many D-Blue's they are going to make? An AD told me they will probably stop making them this year.

OOPS

That is a post from this thread from 18 July 2015. Hard to stop an AD from pontificating in light of a possible sale.

New to the forum, spent some time browsing here before and joined officially yesterday. Own a Deep Blue since about 2 weeks, just love the way the dial colors change from almost full blue to full black depending on the lighting or weather.

Have 2 other Rolex watches (Sub no date and Daytona white dial) but the DSSD D Blue has been on my wrist since getting it and i expect it will be there for some time to come :-)
