Tribal Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 All I can say it's really a well made watch. The Bracelet is fantastic never seen this quality on a Rolex Rep Bracelet. The SEL's are perfect, also the Diver extenssion and Clasp is great. But the clasp is not engraved only printed. The Dial looks also great but must be matte. Case is really well made and looks identical to the real Deal. Crown looks great. The Ceramic Insert is a step back because the Numbers are too slim, Pearl looks really good but a bit too high. Too bad the Crystal is not Sapphire All in all a really well made watch. When the factorys take care of the flaws than it will be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitalnrg Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Why your dssd v3 doesn't have sapphire crystal? Do you have the 21j asian movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephane Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 No matter the design, that is a matter of taste, but we'll have to wait fro V9 to get a good one Unless WM9 makes one of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 So this is Omegas (Bobbys) watch. Yes it was the Asia Version and the dealer claims It has sapphire on it. Bobby changed the movement to Eta on this. As Steph mentioned it's a question of taste. For myself I prefer the older modells I'm not really shure about this watch, but quality is nice. Maybe not a watch for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve123456789 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 The Swiss ETA and Asian Clone ETA both have saphire and 28 K beats per minute. The $ 130 Asian clone 21J is mineral crystal no matter what the Dealer says. It still is a nice watch for the $. I just got the Asian Clone ETA and it is nice. There is a problem with the bracelets breaking at the clasp . I removed mine while the dealer sends me out a new one. I put the watch on a Maratac 20mm nylon two piece Zulu (very heavy duty and professional) until the new clasp arrives. one flaw I found was the printing on the side of the watch when you remove the Steel bracelet and put on the nylon strap. The engraving that says "stainless steel" is printed at a slant (not level). I am not a nitpicker but felt I had to bring it up. I am more concerned about the watch functioning and not falling apart. I may keep this watch for special occations as it is so nice. I love showing my rich brother in law my reps. He has many expensive reps and is impressed with a few of my reps for the $. If you travel and your rep gets broken or ripped off you are not out $ 4000 or more. Due to the large watch head it feels top heavy even on the metal bracelet. I think Rolex should have made a 24mm straight (non tapering) bracelet rather thatn the 21mm tappering bracelet. It looks sort of wierd but still nice. I like the watch and hope they improve the clasp reliability. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
