Hi All

I got a dssd 21j (v5 seller says with real sapphire)the dial does not look clear through the crystal.It looks ever so sligthly foggy in certain angles.Any ideas?should i send the watch back?.I have a gmt11c which is very sharp and clear.

Might be a film buildup on the underside of the crystal; it happens. Simply remove the movement and clean the crystal.

Did I get it right?

A V5 with 21j movement?

I thought it`s only available with asian or swiss 2836-2

Pretty sure there's only one seller of the V5 right?

Yes and from a dealer on the board.

The DSSD is a 4 kilometer depth rated watch. It's crystal, even in the rep is very very thick ... it's not like a normal watch crystal. It has a lot of distortion, and refraction "milkiness" at angles.

People on this board who do reviews of the DSSD pull out the real rep crystal and replace it with a paper-thin rep crystal so it photographs better.
