In case anyone was wondering, that watch is a Pokeball from the long-running television series, "Pokemon" Very cute April Fools' joke.

There are a couple of excellent reviews of these watches from about 18 months ago.

I would eat less pie. But I won't. pie

Oh so someone did eventually buy that strap, eh? Looks good.

the a21j version - ReplicaMake88.com Asia 21j DSSD China ETA Clone version - PureTime China ETA Clone DSSD Check out the stepped (incorrect) case back on these, but parts are better than the Trevor watch (pearl, HEV, pearl triangle, better hour marker shape) and parts are better than the Noob watch (pearl triangle, hour marker shape) .. So unless I simply don't know what the newest Noob DSSD looks like, and am totally mistaken here, we have a 3rd factory making a 3rd high quality version of the DSSD. Hey, if these are the newest version from Noobfactory then good for them ... it's a nice improvement to the insert and markers. No one but your watch maker will ever see the incorrectly shaped case back

Hi BK, thank you for chiming in here. About 1 year ago, one of the members here was in MBK Mall and sent photos of an odd DSSD he had found there. It wasn't a Eurotimez (TrevorTime) watch, and it wasn't a NoobFactory watch. And that puzzled me. It had slim hour markers like a Trevor watch, a much more correct insert triangle (Trevor no curve, Noob way too curved) but a correct style HEV like a Noob ... I never heard about this watch again ... until .. within the last few months dealers here and on other forums started selling it. Since it was first sighted in MBK Mall, I've been calling it the MBK v6 The huge tell is that when you pop off the back, the "titanium" piece is an incorrect stepped design like the early v3 Noob watch. Since the case back had become LESS correct with this model, and the Cartel was not trumpeting about a new Noob design, I assumed it was a 3rd factory. Lastly, it's available in ETA and a21j .. and I didn't think NoobFactory makes an a21j version?? I'll work on finding links with pics.

Sending a watch back to China for a repair or replace will take about 2 months.

Yes. that is an a21j noobmariner.

Bergies is the resident soft goods merchant and can get accessories and clothing and luggage .. etc. he only carries top quality items. no junk.

you can't tell them apart without photos of the dial, bezel insert and helium valve . also, no rep is water proof until you test it. a missing seal will flood the best rep. how do you know a seal is missing? you don't.

Trevor Time is a trusted dealer on this forum ... he has a web site, and on the site in the Rolex SeaDweller area is the watch. I think it's $180 or some such amount. He also carries the NoobFactory watch but you can see that one is $280 or some thing. The MBK v6 is a little harder to find, since it is fairly new. It's available in ETA or A21j .. that version is only $88 .. if you like a21j. ReplicaMake has these varieties.

Arent the TTime DSSDs $180 ? They are on his web site.

BK, Josh, Andrew ... blah blah .. it's all the same watch. Noobfactory model version 5 Ultimate. It's all the same watch. BK is a watch modder and improves on the Noobfactory models he sells with custom date wheels and 100% QC .. so yes, his version is better. There are 3 DSSD versions right now, but all the ones you mention are the same watch. NoobFactory TrevorTime 2010v5 MBK v6 these are the three different models of (high quality) DSSD.

The community member called concepta is a watch builder/modder. He has access to IWC genuine parts and can build you as good as watch as you can afford, right down to a watch made of completely genuine parts. Send him a message.<br><br>Also, there is no Forum rule that you have to find your own dealer.&nbsp; If you are new, buy from Perfect Clones. Once you know more about what you want, try other dealers.<br>

I have noticed that the people who buy a blue or black model find it almost impossible to re-sell. They last forever on the Watches for Sale forum.<br><br>Also I must mention that the hands and markers in this photo are in direct Summer sunlight. They are not bright electric blue naturally, but a deeper darker blue.<br><br>The lume is a lot of fun on this piece .. the hands are blue lume and the markers are green.<br>

Gloss VS Matte !!! The battle of the Century!

Should the back now be re-brushed to sublimate the engraving beneath the case finish?

You used a swear word in the URL. The RWG filter has screwed your URL with the swear filter.

I am getting that sporadically. The board logs me out, and I have to log in to do anything.

Great effort! Keep going with this.

Have you ever owned an a21j watch before this one? The a21j is a very noisey movement .. like a cheap tin toy sounds. It buzzes very loudly when wound.

The date changing mechanism is possibly engaged and working during those hours. Manually moving the date wheel while the mechanism is in action will strip it out or bend it's parts. Gen watches too.

White Dimple Dial ... that is all.

There are trusted dealers on the Forums which don't charge max $$$ ... altho some certainly do.

The rep DSSDs don't have so many parts. They combine some interior parts into one unit to cut costs.
