looks very nice.

At the moment I don't think it is the same as ET's V5. The end links on the V5 do not protrude over the lugs as much as they do on the gen or on the Supreme. The cut outs for accessing the spring bars have the unfinished look of the Noobmariner bracelet on the Supreme but look correct on the V5 if I remember correctly.

This certainly looks good. The hour markers are surprisingly accurate as compared to gen. Why can they make the same standard for the Sub Maxi dial?

The only thing here is perhpas the bezel fonts are marginally too thin vs the gen/V5?

Not visible is the incorrect caseback .. it'll be hidden under the caseback retaining ring. It's a stepped back, instead of the proper cone I believe. But that's hidden :mellow:

Is it my imagination or are those tool marks on the clasp, on the polished bar .. stamping marks that were not buffed and polished out? The DSSD is a very handsome watch for people who do not mind it's size. I love mine .. enjoy!!

Very nice, but the number 10 on the bezel is off center again...

I really cant understand if they are making this errors in purpose .. or they are so st..ids... :bicycle:

yes - your right - there is room for improvement ;)

No not the fingerprints. Look where I've circled on the image I attached. I can see that part you are talking about and it's different than the tool marks I think I see.

ahh -okay i clicked now ;)

the sides are polished - and no toolmarks - just the pic ....

cheers,

Frank

I have to disagree. Gen to rep on my V5, I don't notice a difference--they look the same:

(sorry about the crappy pic quality--lazy & no light)

I'm thinking of getting one of these. Is it the best version out there?

AFAIK this is an older "version" with a newly decorated/painted movement which has the same color red gears as a 3135

I'm just a newb who has a v5 but I agree with Gio about the V5's best-est-ness. Isn't this Supreme just a v3 with a painted movement? I could be wrong.

Noobesque jab? I can't tell whether I should crack up or not...

Judging by the lack of :), I'll guess the latter. Yes, EuroT's V5 seems to be it. From what I've seen of the other new ones PT's etc, they look damn near the same.

Gio, yours looks much better regarding the lugs than the one ET shows in his shop...

Does it have the correct ref. no. 116660 engraved between the lugs? The Supreme seems to have a wrong 116117 engraving.

good question - mine has 116117 - just checked ...

and M646829 on the rehaut.

What does it mean please? I didn't read all threads about V1, V2 or V3..

Does that serial number proves it's a V3 with the modded mov.?

not much - but same serial number = same middle case :)

my wild guess : there are at least 2 factories that mix some available parts together -

like the inserts, dials, movements, cases, bracelets .... prob we will never know :)

the goal is to get the best mix :D

Indeed, as ever...

So we keep dial and bezel from the V5

And the thin markers rings with the movement from the supreme :D

But you know what really p... me off about the PT's?

THAT:

These weird crowns must not exist anymore.
