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.

However thanks to the everybody in this thread posting these amazing pics I'm going to hold off until next spring and go for a Deep Blue...

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.

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 :-)

D-Dial
If you want a D-Dial, don't be afraid of the size. They are smaller than the Suunto digital watches everyone is wearing these days. Heavier yes, but you can go to the gym to fix that problem.

Also, IF (and I stress if) they stop making these, they will become highly sought after more than they are now. That said, I do think they will keep producing them for at least another year....oddly enough, here in Dubai I have yet to see anyone else with one!
