Velasco Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hi all, this is allegedly the "ultimate" version from the cartel. I say allegedly because this is v5. But, correct me if I'm wrong, this v5 is different from Eurotimez v5. Have a look at the (not) beveled window and the pearl. Some pics... Any comment from the experts would be greatly appreciated! V.

watchlover1 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 VERY Nice piece. The Date Window is suppose to be beveled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gioarmani Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 It's not a V5. By the shape of the case near the CGs, the dial, and the insert font & cloudy pearl, it's a V3 with the V4/V5 crystal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaPOFL Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 yeah, if you paid for a v5.... you didn't get a v5 PM the seller.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 VERY Nice piece. The Date Window is suppose to be beveled. misconception.. the date window on the genuine is not beveled it's a 2 piece fused dial ergo the date window is a step window like that of the 9411 tudor date window, i posted a macro close up in another thread.

john7830 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Its a beautiful piece. I have really gone over for the Deep SeaDweller myself as of late. I have a real need for a Sub no date, or a SeaDweller rep, BUT that DSSD is growing on my by the day. Hmmm choices choices.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even the version concept does not apply here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 The significant difference with the cartel "ultimate" is the case construction. The older reps all had a one piece case with no real pressure ring, it was all just moulded into the case. The Ultimate has the pressure ring as a true separate part.
