New DSSD James Cameron 126660 just landed.

[Mystro]

As I said in a previous thread I was watching this watch as soon as I saw it at Baselworld 2018. I love alpha dive watches but even more I love the new Rolex movement. I won’t be price gouged and had to work to source one through a friend I have purchased before for about msrp. That is a major achievement for this watch.

First thing I did was to take off the diver extension and go over the watch under magnification. Perfect. Bezel lines up , etc.. The winding of the new 3235 is smooth as glass and the crown tube threads were also smooth when threading the crown. After 30 years with Rolex I have a check list I go over with a new watch.



The dial, omg, the dial! Pics don’t do this justice and what a stunner.


I am very familiar with the glide lock on my last LVC and SD43 but the glide lock clasp on that DSSD is next level good. Smooth pushing in or out. Super premium feel.



That beautiful 5.5mm crystal distortion.




As promised, I had time to get down to the creek for a water shot. A genuine dive probably this week.
