Confirmed, got one of the last 6239 cases before DW went AWOL and it looks just like the gen. Probably only needs a little trimming around the crown area but otherwise really good. Was not as cheap, since the hands and dial which were promised never materialized... BTW, thank you for the comparison Valty. Really appreciated.
You could upgrade to the OEM replacement pushers Ofrei is selling, but the holes in the DW case are a bit too large and it will take some work to make it fit.
Not sure if this question has ever gotten a negative answer...
(I am also about to pull the trigger with Phong, so pictures of his current offering would be really helpful)
You will have a hard time finding high quality watches on TaoBao for cheaper than here. The lower quality versions are probably cheaper there, but why bother...? If you don't have enough spare cash to get the high quality version you'll probably have a hard time pulling off the cheapos.
The V2 is not even close. The lume does not make much of a difference given all the other short comings. On the other hand the V3 lume from the prototype leaves a lot to be desired, so probably a re-lume is in order.
Been with Cousins for a long time and never had an issue. Wasn't aware of the unlisted parts feature. Something I will definitely look into in the future.
Always dealt directly with DW, never had any issues. Ordered a couple of weeks ago. He replied that he is out and will send upon return. Got shipping confirmation today.
