This is why we use trusted dealers .. they will always replace a bad watch. The game does not change .. you MIGHT get a bad one .. but a trusted dealer will treat you right.
If you don't want to send it back to China, there are trusted watchsmiths here ready to fix it up.
Yes that is a Eurotimez v5 model. .. and the ETz model NEVER had a bad 10 ... that was the Noobfactory's screwup.
Asian or Swiss movement is your call. It's a matter of taste.
Oh, and anyone who believes the factory's stuff about steel grades is setting themselves up for heartbreak. Come on now.
A three handed A21j watch sells on the street for $40 in Asia. Hell, the A21j NoobMariner was on sale on another forum for $54 for a year.
Making a watch costs less than people suspect.
ReplicaMake had the NoobFactory DSSD A21j on special sale for a few months for $89 at one point.
The case size is the same between the two. The Sea Dweller has a larger dial, and looks bigger due to this. I'm talking about width, here. The SD is thicker, I believe.
As an interesting aside, these beautiful photos show why the current TrevorTime model dssd still has a better dial than the noobfactory dssd.
The current TrevorTime model is the old eurotimez model.
My rep 01-94 has real screws and real removable strap lugs. It's no longer made as far as I know.
It's major downfall is a white date wheel. Not black.
I was ripped off on my first rep purchase and received a very high quality B&R 01-94 quartz instead of an auto. It's been running perfectly on a single battery for four years.
You are headed straight onwards towards Rookie of the Year ... to come in here, a straight up noob, learn about the models, buy a watch, fix it then mod it ... I'm very impressed.
When a replica is very very good, the people who need (personality-wise) to find flaws in the "fakes" will pay exaggerated attention to microscopic details.
If you look at the Watches, clothing and accessories forum on the main page you will find links to a dozen or more trusted dealers.
trusty time, perfect clones, watcheden, king watch, precious time .. the list goes one. Years of good service from all of them.
It's quite obvious that half the people in the thread are rep forum lurkers.
It's also obvious that people who get angry over the existence of replica watches have tied their own self-worth into the perceived worth of their possessions. If I wear a fake Rolex, I am pretending to be as good as you, who have purchased an actual Swiss Rolex.
That is what makes them so angry. I'm sad for them.
The brand of your man-jewelry does not make you a good person but somehow they are wired to think it does. Very sad. They have been taken completely by an advertisement copy writer ..
Hi Phil717 ... why would anyone take a risk on an unknown dealer when there are many known and verified dealers on the forums? Any dealer can get almost any watch. So my question to you is Why?
