mikellem Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 There is really no way to tell with your pics! Give us some macro shots! Where's Gio, He will tell you! He is the DSSD King... MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gioarmani Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) It's actually just a V4. The two easiest tells are: 1, how poor the SELs sit between the lugs--so much of a gap, you can actually see their springbars (if the "Noob" factory really did make the V4, which I highly doubt, they've lost their credibility that set them above other factories for workmanship, considering how extremely well crafted the Noobmariner was) the V3s fit tighter than Tom Thumb's ass, and 2, how the case is too thick on the crown-guard's side--protrudes too much past the sides of the bezel. It's probably the first, most obvious giveaway that it's a rep; even seen at arm's length. SELs/lugs: Case: EDIT: A V3 band could be added to improve the look of the V4, but I don't know if the V4's problem was lugs that were too wide or SELs that weren't thick enough. The easiest way to tell if a it's a V3 or V4 band is to look at the clasp markings. On the gen, the side with the "Rolex" & "Geneva" markings are black; the side with the "Steelinox" & release # "PJ3" are in white-- the V3's are the exact same: On the V4, for some reason they screwed this up too and made both sides black: Edited April 30, 2009 by gioarmani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheswick Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Nice timepiece though, even with the flaws. I just ordered mine from Hont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarini Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hmm looks like the SEL s made a turn to worse on V4... always amazes me how the makers make some things good only to destroy that particular thing in the next upgrade...

gioarmani Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I just got my Eurotimez DSSD in day before yesterday. My review should be up this afternoon. Best dial & version over-all I've seen yet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
