Oh I see what the problem is here ... that is a genuine Swiss 7750 movement. You had me wondering for a minute why this watch cost 2x normal price.
The question you have to ask yourself ... is it worth it to you personally to have a genuine Swiss 7750 instead of the asian copy.
The NoobFactory makes ONE DSSD watch. This is it. Please do not confuse the new person.
BK, TimesShop, Andrew, Angus, Josh ... they all have the same fucking watch. Please don't make this more complicated than it is.
The R07704 is the Asian 3135 movement piece. Do not buy this movement in any watch. It is known to be unreliable.
And do I need to say it again ... all 3 watches on that page are the same watch .. only with 3 different movements inside.
There are only 2 different DSSD replicas. The price differences are due to the movement inside of it, and the dealer markup. Some dealers charge more. Some charge a lot more. It's all the same two watches.

Sino Watches is lying to you. They claim to have Swiss ETA movements, but the photo they show is clearly an Asian copy of Swiss ETA. Once a dealer lies to you, why trust them at all? You should not.
You are not getting a better watch. The best swiss version is $338 USD
The dealer web sites are not a secret you need to be told. They are listed on the very front page of this web site. There must be over 12 listed there.
Your price point is largely affected by what movement you want inside. Real Swiss? Chinese? There is the price difference.
There are only two high quality DeepSea replicas on the market right now. They are both good. Your biggest price problem is the movement inside the watch.
OK? Answer this question, and you will know where your price point will be.
For a Clone Swiss movement you are looking at around $230.
Yes. The infamous collett which drives UPO and TAG owners insane.
thanks again.
OH, and Cougar .. this thing needs AR and a re-lume if Im going to keep it. For such an expensive 3-handed watch, it needs those things. It's beautifully made .. but needs those things.
With colorless single sided AR, you will see two reflections in your crystal. One reflection will be bright as hell (the uncoated side) and the other reflection will be very dim. (AR side)
Andreww, you said you looked for and found a higher end replica of these, so I have to ask: is it the "known" supplier, listed in these threads or one we don't know about?
thanks for the review and the reply.
And Offshore, I was posting this thread in realtime from my phone, so I only just now got around to PM'ing you. Thanks for your kind offer of punches.
cheers,
JK
