AllergyDoc Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 This is my 3rd DeepSea. The first one has blocky, thick numbers on the bezel. The second was a V3 with an Asian-ETA. I modded the bezel numbers to make them thicker but kind of botched the job. This model is currently $88 from Replicamake, a dealer on RWI and RWG, plus shipping. It's well worth it. I have two complaints: the steel is filthy and the clasp-lock piece is cheapie. The steel will probably clean up nicely with the bike lube treatment. I hope. The clasp lock, I don't know. I've improved it some with some needle-nose pliers but it's still kind of floppy. But for $88? The lume is great and all blue. You can barely hear the rotor. The screws came out easy. The glidelock clasp works great. The bezel numbers looks V3; a little thin. The pearl is a big improvement over my previous versions: not zitty. The "1" on the 10 might be a little crooked. No big deal to me. See? Nice pearl: Beveled date window: Nice shiny watch: Seriously? $88? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Looks like a Noobfactory latest version probably with Asia 21j power .. there are not expensive watches ... only expensive dealers I love the pearl and the properly inset bezel insert. Enjoy your excellently priced DSSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyB Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 For $88 it's a nice watch. I won't say anything about the raggedy bezel numbers ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban Fox Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Looks like an excellent purchase for the money. Did you not want to pay extra for a Swiss movement or are you of the opinion that there's little difference between Asian and Swiss ??

If it's an occasional wear, I don't mind the 21J. My current thinking is, if I really like this one and wear it often I'll sell it and upgrade to BK's model. Or not. That's the fun with reps.
