JohnDorian Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Oh my god it's huge. And quite heavy. It might be going on the for sale section, I'll have to wear it for a week to see if I can get used to it. I went against my own advice and opted extra for a "GEN SWISS ETA". I'll take it to my local watch maker to verify it actually is what it came with. However, the winding feels very smooth like a gen ETA. Sides don't have quite the brilliant shine of the WM9 Submariners. I think I'll be taking a Cape Cod cloth to the side to give it a bit of a brighter shine. What do you guys think of the pearl and the date window? I ordered July 3rd, finally came in today. All photos are untouched.
krpster Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Looks pretty good to me...although I'm no Rollie expert. Enjoy and thanks for sharing.
bertieng Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 The Eurotz V5 definitely looks good. How is the finish of the hands, are they free of any scratches? Personally haven't seen any perfect hands in all the reps. purchased so far. They are bound to have some scratches on them - no matter how minor they are.
bundamania Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 Is the date window a perfect match to the Gen. ?
yaron Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 I don't like the deepsea for the reasons you mentioned (huge, heavyweight etc.) but that replication looks top notch. Enjoy, whatever you choose to do with it.

As far as I can see without a loupe, they look perfect and well cut.
