DSSD Service

Your local AD will have NO chance of regulating this watch for you. Not even sure if a local RSC could do it now. Probably have to go back to the factory to ensure the full depth rating.

Another reason not to get one. I know the current SD has a special tank in order to fully pressure test. They are apparently tested individually in case one should explode thereby causing damage to other watches.

Someone on another board guessed it would cost about half a Air King for each service !

Some guys will not be bothered by this, and will buy it anyway. The other thing is, how many will be serviced? There are lots of people who do not ever service their watches, so why should this be any different?

Bet that will cost a little bit more than a standard service.
