Since this was the thread that moved me to purchase the Ultimate DSSD from Trevor (asian movement) I figured this would be the best place to post an update. I received the watch about two weeks ago and really loved the look and feel. I was very hesitant at first in purchasing a replica watch. In better times, before our economy and my business fell apart, I owned quite a little watch collection. Unfortunately I am in no position to spend $8000 on a watch right now. As a result I made the plunge and for the last two weeks have been pretty impressed and how many compliments I received about the watch.
Today that all changed when I woke up and found the watch had stopped for the first time in two weeks. With other automatics I've had I could just move the watch a bit and it would come back to life. That didn't work, so I gently wound it and that failed to wake the movement as well. Now I have an incredibley heavy paperweight of a wristwatch that is only correct twice a day. I did reach out to Trevor but have not heard back yet and to be honest the idea of potentially returning this one and waiting a month for another just sickens me. I think in the future I will just save my money for the real deal again and avoid the headache altogether. I wish I had my $225 back...
