I wonder if Noobfactory reduced the width of their hour markers on the new batches of dials ... they don't seem to be as puffy fat as they used to be. Could be my imagination. If it's true, it's about time, and a good thing. Mansun: There is a forum on this board called Pugwash's Photo Tutorials or something like that. it's the place to learn macro secrets. My first "photo tip" to you is *Dont post 3000 pixel wide images to the forum*. Resize them to 1024 wide, and everyone who sees them will be 100x happier.

Thank you kindly Some clown voted a 1 star rating for that pic in My Watchbox.

SO comfortable to wear ...

Absolutely. It boils down to personal preference. They are all good, with minor flaws in each. I think this new dark horse "v6" has really nailed the marker sizing, tho.

Here's an official Rolex photo of the DSSD's pearl and insert triangle marker. There is a curve there, but it is so subtle that from this angle, it looks straight. It's not.

Mary @ Watch International posted a general notice about 12 hours ago stating that she's closed for CNY thru February 12. It's all part of the hobby.

MMA hit this one on the head. Battery powered beard trimmer from any reputable company, with adjustable height blade guides. After a certain age, you are just trying to keep eyebrow/ear/nose hair in check, it seems.

I've always been an advocate of the Eurotimez/Trevortime DSSD .. so I am biased. I do prefer the whisper thin "white gold" dial marker lume cups, even tho they are not correct. I am waiting for some high quality images of the new MBK v6 watch. I might give up my Zig-lumed DSSD for one if it's as good as it looks in the dark, fuzzy dealer photos.

The three available high quality DSSD replicas each have their own tiny flaws, and choosing one is more a matter of preference than the severity of an individual watches' tells. The Cartel / BK / Noobfactory version 5 "Ultimate" (also known as the v3) Simply put, this dial has fat, fat markers. Fat. The bezel insert's white triangle follows the curve of the insert. too curved. The TrevorTime (Eurotimez) 2010 v5 This pearl has no clear dome. Dial markers are too thin but some people find this very pleasing to the eye. The HEV proportions are not as good as the Noobfactory watch. The white triangle in the bezel insert has no curve at all. edit: the bezel insert is a little tall, and needs to be sanded a mm or.two to sit down inside the bezel as it should. The MBK DSSD v6 (only recently widely-available but reported here a year ago by a member visiting MBK) There are no hands-on reviews of this watch yet. It looks very good indeed, tho. Good pearl dome, the hour markers thickness falls between the thin v5 and the super fatty Noobfactory markers. It's case back is a step-pyramid design unfortunately, which is a step backwards, since the current dominant DSSD models corrected this to the correct conical shape over a year ago. The date window is the correct stepped design, and not a plain bevel ... if the dealer photos are interpreted correctly.

It's a Shrub Mariner

If I owned the same watch I would go with the bleached insert. Oh ... wait! I do own the same watch

That's entirely personal preference. I've never seen the rubber coated bracelet, as well.

It is Chinese New Year currently. The only sound you are going to hear from dealers is drunken singing for a few weeks. Seriously.

You can buy an ipad case with a very thin rubber bluetooth kb molded into it, and also, any BT keyboard will sync up. I use the KB I bought for my PS3 on the ipad when I know Im going to be typing a lot.

You missed the link in my post. Click it twice.

http://www.1-pc8838.com/ is a trusted dealer here and has a wide selection.

Be sure to ask for the proper size (there are 2 sizes) SeaTimer you want .. and the proper bracelet .. they come in rubber on steel or bare stainless steel. If there is a choice of movements, the Asian Clone ETA is probably a good decision. this is the one I have: Because of Perfect Clones' web site rules, all traffic HAS TO go to the main page first, so you need to click this link 2x to get to the actual watch

That's beautiful. Now if only DW would populate his forum area with sample photos of his completed work, so people had an idea of what they can/should order from him.

WOW that is one dressy dive watch.

When you post QC photos to a forum, you need to mentally censor out the comments which are overly critical, but take and use the comments which are valid points of concern. A noob would not know to do this, and it could cause problems since he'd be relaying the smallest niggle to the Dealer, because he would not know any better. I've been seeing this a lot lately. The dealer can sell the "rejected" watches to someone else, of course .. so why be a dick about it?

Can you be more specific about making the edges between the layers look so clean and real? This is my weak point, and has been for years.

I saw this sig photo as recently as yesterday ... I think a new person is using it.

Welcome!!

While I will agree with the notion that some people have issues which cause them to over-anal-ize the "quality" of replica watches, it is also a bad idea for a dealer to say these types of things to his dedicated clients. I think perhaps we have to take into account the kinds of errors a non-native english speaker might make, also. I'm sure it was not meant as a veiled threat, even if it comes across that way.

HAAHAHAHA it's a "PLANET O CEAN" .... hehehehe It must be made in Ireland.
