How do I use the helium escape valve?

How do I know the HEV is working?

What does the HEV look like when its working?

Should I polish the center links on my DSSD?

Excellent!!

CoopJr · 6 April 2008, 09:21 AM

Anyone else have to take theirs off to wipe?

Felly Jr. · 6 April 2008, 09:21 AM

I'm finding that my drywall repair is getting very costly ever since I bought my SDDS. Should I sell it and get something with a lower profile?

mdx77 · 6 April 2008, 09:26 AM

How do I remove the "original escape valve" sticker?

Letsgodiving · 6 April 2008, 09:26 AM

Is it expensive to have the helium topped off by Rolex if it leaks out?

And of course don't forget. Can I play golf in the rain with his watch?

veefour · 6 April 2008, 09:26 AM

You just bookmark this thread.
You'll be reading every question in the next year or two.

I can just see the topics starting to flood in when the DSSD is released!

fear · 6 April 2008, 09:41 AM

Can I shoot guns while wearing it?

Felly Jr. · 6 April 2008, 09:42 AM

What's a Bluesy?

JJ Irani · 6 April 2008, 10:16 AM

And the pick of the lot's going to be....

Can I use a NATO on my new SD?

SSD · 6 April 2008, 10:17 AM

When did JJ flip his DSSD?

How many DSSD's has Bo owned?

And, in a similar vein,
Mike/JJ/Jocke/Dude, etc., those DSSD pics are great!

SSD · 6 April 2008, 10:22 AM

Oh, yeah. Almost forgot: How do I adjust the DSSD's clasp?

Answer: Sheldonsmith has a tutorial (naturally!)

GMTII Owner · 6 April 2008, 10:28 AM

How about this one: will saltwater damage my watch? or if I get saltwater on it, is it okay to rinse off with cold water?

JJ Irani · 6 April 2008, 10:29 AM

Now the next question would be:

How many of you tossers are going to ask some of these stupid questions?

The reason they use Helium is that Original Gas
is an olfactory disaster
Actually burns your nose hairs.

Is there a reverse valve to adjust when I am 35000 feet above sea level? Will my watch explode?

waltk1026 · 6 April 2008, 12:05 PM

With the SDDS you get a Rolex arm sling to wear until you build up your bicep.

GoldenBear · 6 April 2008, 01:19 PM

Should I take the plastic bezel protector off?
Should I keep the hologram on?
How long before I can flip it for a profit?
What if I could have saved $500 by .......?
How much/soon is the old SD going to go up in value?
Is the old SD a good investment...should I sell my stock portfolio to buy one?

astcell · 6 April 2008, 03:22 PM

Why does the watch adjust only slightly for diving when at the maximum depth my wrist is likely to be only 2" around anyway?

mldaytona · 6 April 2008, 03:47 PM

Next weekend my friends and I are planning to race down to the depth of 300 ft. underwater, which watch should I wear? My new SDDS or my SS Daytona?

I've always heard you can use them for telling time....not sure if that's true.
