bertieng Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 A hot topic a while ago on the V5, but seems all has been cooled down and silent in these days. Has those problematic flaws seen on the V5 been resolved? Can the owners update us? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRONTE500 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Mine arrived a couple of weeks ago and i was worried after all the reviews that i had maybe bought a lemon! However my watch seems to be a great rep, correct font on bezel, beveled DW, properly aligned date, all blue lume and is keeping great time. The only fault that i would have and its not a major issue would be the pearl is a bit yellowish but im gonna try and replace that when i can get my hands on one. Other than that very happy with it, ill get some more pics up when i get a chance. This was bought from Chris at Eurotimez and the service was great, nice people to deal with. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sander30 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Mine arrived last week slo from Chris, i'm very happy with it and wear it every day. It is very solid made and heavy but also mine pearl is a bit yellow. Here are some amateur pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRONTE500 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Looks good Sander. My numerials appear to be thinner than yours. Maybe i have a v3 bezel. Yours looks closer to the gen. Glad you got a good piece too. Seems to be luck of the draw from the factories on this watch as to what parts you get! Wear it well my friend.

gioarmani Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Nice to see the QC was just a fluke. I've run through 3 of these for gifts (minus my modded one) and I haven't actually worn my Daytona or any watch since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRONTE500 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hey Gio. was thinking of doing a few mods as per your tutorial to this watch. Think the bezel would look well with the paint mod. the last couple pf pic's on your post the watch looked awesome! Other than that i love this piece and im glad it arrived virtually troublr free.

Steve52 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Noob question: When looking at the cartel sites, how would I know if what they are calling the Ultimate version is the latest V5? Can someone help with this question? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertieng Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Noob question: When looking at the cartel sites, how would I know if what they are calling the Ultimate version is the latest V5? Can someone help with this question? Thanks! This has been well discussed in details. Try the search and you will see. Basically the cartel's is the V4. Just look at the date window, the case curves and the engravings on the lock ring, then you will see the differences. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertieng Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Looks like Chris has really get the things sort out. Maybe it is almost the time to really pull the trigger. My finger is getting hard to hold stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve52 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Thanks bertieng. Does that mean that Eurotimez has the version 5? Chris is not part of the "cartel"? Appreciate the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 very nice Sander.. congrats there is one more fix Iam waiting for.. but who knows when ?? the Date Window is not a bevel.. it is a sanwich.. this is a pic of a 9411 tudor.. the dial is in two parts and fused to create the "step" window.. this is the last fix to the DSSD (genuine is step window I believe) A~C Lani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurArthur Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 i ordered the dssd v5 from chris weeks ago and the pics he sent i am getting really worried about. the back of the watch seems to be all one color instead of a darktone inner cover and a lighter tone outer screw. Also, having a hard time to get a hold of anyone there, I sent an email a week ago and no one has replied to me yet. I ordered the wathc on the 6th of october 6th and they still havent even sent it out.anyone have a clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I heard from helina over the weekkend and NEO last week, maybe e-mail 'em again as they were out of the country for a while and had spotty internet access... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 ArthurArthur: Don't worry, this is a common mistake among newbs .. Eurotimez' time to ship is a Month. Don't expect your watch until at least 1 month has passed. Just be patient and it will arrive. Welcome and grats on your first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotbody77 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hello guys around, I`m impressed that there is still a sort of interest in my older topic. So what can i say: Nothing happened yet. The contact to Helina@eurotimez is better now. But i don`t receive a new watch. I get excuses why this takes so long. " the ordered watch was sh...t so they had to order a new one at their factory "... You should know that this problem is from 1st of october. i think this is long time ago. So i will still wait and see what will happen. I think i will get my watch but when is the question. greets to all hotbody77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanvaljean Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I received mine 2 weeks ago, received original photos, then asked for addtional photos and recieved those too, took a bit of time, however Chris and others always responded promptly to emails and the watch looks great. Heck of a buy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should know that this problem is from 1st of october. i think this is long time ago. If you had bought this "sh|t watch" from a normal dealer, it would be drop-shipped to you without any checks and you would have it now ... broken and sh|t. So at least be thankful someone looked at it before they sent it to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotbody77 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hello together, today i received actual pics of the new watch i will get. If the watch has the two-piece caseback i will be very satisfied at last. hotbody77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
