I purchased a random $20 insert from eBay, and it looks endlessly better than the stock one. Lume is correct too. It is a deep deep pure shiny black, and the engravings are brighter, although not as deep.

After a few e-mails back and forth with the dealers QA people, they keep claiming that this is indeed a V7. No point in pushing further with them I guess.

Thank you, that is the best answer so far Now, does anyone know where can I get a decent deep black bezel insert? And how do I fix the rehaut and replace the bezel insert?

The caseback ring is brushed.

I ordered a Deepsea V7 from one of the TDs, but I am not sure at all if that is what I got. The serial no. on the rehaut is M660304, which some googling seems to reveal to be an old Trevor model. The lume on the dial is green, while the pearl is blue. And also, the bezel insert appears to be made with a very very fine grey grain in it, whereas my submariners ceramic insert is a perfect smooth black. The OGEV/RLS text is slightly askew, it is centered between the ES and CK, and I have never seen that in any picture of any Deepsea rep. Question is, has anyone ever heard of a bezel insert like that? Where can I get an insert that is perfectly black, like the one on my sub? Why is the dial green? Can the OGEV/RLS text be fixed? And what version rep even is this at all?

I have a ceramic sub from Joshua, just the asian 2813 one, and I managed to bang it into a wall while walking, and broke of the pearl (yes, I know I am a clutz!) Is there a guide/howto/instructions on replacing the bezel insert somewhere, and where can I get a new insert?
