Hi All
I got a dssd 21j (v5 seller says with real sapphire)the dial does not look clear through the crystal.It looks ever so sligthly foggy in certain angles.Any ideas?should i send the watch back?.I have a gmt11c which is very sharp and clear.

Hi
Just a quick question,i have a gmt11c asian 2836 movt.The dial on this appears to be jet black and is sligthly shiney which looks like the gen(noob version).
I have recently purchased a 21j dssd (seller says its a v5),but the dial is not jet black but sligthly charcoal colour but a matt finish.Does any one have these 2 watches and how do they compare?
regards

Hi all
just a couple of question about a sub tt before i purschase ,how is the 21j dg movt compared with the asian eta ,in terms of reliability and accuracy? are both versions made by the noob factory?
Also will the finishing of the watch be the same if i opt for the cheaper movt.I think eurotimez does both versions.
Thanks

If you made the transfer online and have never made a transfer online before, Western Union wants to speak with you on the phone before they send the funds. They will ask you some personal information to make sure you are the credit card holder and not laundering money or fndin terrorism. Just some security measures and I have done this before.
Hi jfreeman420
The transfer was made at a wu agent in person.May i am inpatiant and just need to wait?

Categorically - EMS from China with less than 2KG of watches (appropriately declared and no amateurish concealment involved) will in virtually all circumstances sail through without a hitch.
.
Thank you for all the reassurance

Yes, the AR compared to other reps is quite good, compared to chief's, it's a layer of a blue film...
Mine is pressure tested to 50 ATM, suitable for surface swimming. get yours tested!
Thank you for all the info.Where would i get it pressure tested? would the dealers do it if requested ?

The SFSO will be fine for swimming if you ensure the caseback gasket and crown are greased properly. I wouldn't swim in my BCE but I have showered with it, again after I've lubed the gaskets/crown/pushers and made sure everything is screwed down tight. Regarding the BCE, the model you need to get is the A7750 powered V2/V3 version with the larger font/updated datewheel. With the SFSO you have two choices, the A21j version, is cheaper but comes in two guises, you must ask for one with AR or the more expensive ETA powered version which comes with it as standard. Just read the reviews on each watch on the forums and you'll get all the info you need to make an informed purchase...
Hi sconehead
