Go for the Diver. the V4 just came out!!

yeah, need to look at the inner bezel. And the movement rotors. Looks quite gen from this distance. Looking it up close would definitely be of help.

Very nice!!

On a separate note, I cant help but notice, you recently posted so many new ones you acquired from Domi. Are you also advertising them by any chance

Making a franken dssd is rather exp and difficult.

Bezel assembly approx 1.2k

Bracelet and clasp 1.2k

Crown 200-300 as is rare

Dial 500?

Crystal 400? But damn hard to find.

Add that up and its abt 3.5k++ and labor which could end up abt 5k easily. Not including the 3135 which was abt 2.2k. While a gen v or m dssd could go for about 8k+. Might as well buy a gen at that point. The rep to gen price ratio is too close at that point

Thanks for the input guys, hoping to acquire that piece soon.

@Dovo, why would u not get from a nom-jeweller? Afraid of frankens?

That watch looks genuine to me.

Thanks for ur input!

Anyone Could verify if this is gen?

Thanks guys

One of the biggest tells on the DSSD is the HEV on the side, the gen has a nice thick outer ring on the valve the reps look thinner.

There was a recent brilliant post that compared gen and rep DSSD's, have a search for it and try and get some other pictures.

Thanks bro.

ive already told u its gen twice but my posts have dissapeard

Thanks for your input

This is an older DSSD replica from 4 or 5 years ago. I own this model. It was sponsored and offered by the now-gone trusted dealer EuroTimez. If you want one, you can still get them from some dealers like Trevor.

 

Here is EuroTimez's own QC Approval photobucket showing the model in close-up detail, as proof. It still exists, surprisingly.

You're saying this is a rep?

Had a franken with gen movement, but I was unhappy with the case. My advice, either save up for a geneinstien, or get a timebomb. or just save up for a used gen. Costs about 5k usd while geneinstien about 3k the last time I was offered one by concepta.

Wow. Beautiful watch.. Let me know if u decide to sell it

Hey J, talking about this, I saw my friend's gen diver the other day. It came with varying degrees of sunkenness on different bezel screws.. looks like AP can get sloppy with their QCs too..

Or maybe he had a franken without u knowing!!   hahaha.. jk jk.. yeah, i think happens in all brands.. Apparently there are some "hand mades" in there

Is that an H fact diver? It does look abit deep, but as Mr.A said, there are varying degrees even in the gen.

Wow! Nice! I should come by to say hi. Hehe enjoy the trip! If you have extra time, go over to lombok (ghili islands) theres nothing much there but its beautiful and still very natural. If you enjoy diving and water sports, its definitely worth a stop.

Definitely agree to your argument there. The person/reputation does play a big role in it, but some reps are just quite an obvious tell for those who actually have the gen, while others are better.

Actually, I feel that my friend J is showing the black rubberclad, which is a gen.

Congrats J! I used to own this model but traded it for another one. Nice buy and wear her well.

Took u quite awhile to pop up mr.A. Thanks for your complements! How have you been doing? Havent seen u in a while. Tempted to get the v6? Hehe

@ folex, Im sort of partial to the secs @ 12 I like the 3 subdial look, I've noticed the divers and have just held off hoping another would pop up.

I cant completely judge by the amount of posts you have had, but you are aware of the noticeable flaws on the @12 secs right?
