Hi All - can anyone please help me identify which version DSSD this is just from dial and hands alone?

I thought it was a noob v7 (was sold to me as a v7) but when I sent it off to my watchsmith he said it's not a v7 because the movement is 21J (there is no 21J noob I believe)

Pls disregard the bezel insert (I changed it to Gen), crystal (I had it replaced with AR) and OGEV (I had it realigned). Pls look at dial, hands and dw only...

Any help appreciated.

I'm really pi55ed that it's not a v7 like I was led to believe.

I think this is a BP V2 version. If i recall correctly BP is the only one that offers most of their high tier reps in 21J aswell.

thanks very much. how many versions did BP make do you happen to know? I will also do some research as to how bad the dial and hands are... bit sad that I added a gen insert and had other work done to it already.

Although they never advertise with the 21J option i know from personal experience most of their models can be bought with 21J.

Actually sh!t - This is going to sound dumb but it is actually a v7... I went through my threads again and have both a 21J (light modded) and now this v7 light Franken. I got them mixed up and forgot I replaced it when my watchsmith said the Deepblue he had from me was 21j and I asked him to cancel the work until I bought a proper v7.... which I did (but then forgot I bought it and had asked the seller yo send it to him directly). I was wondering why the hell when I compared what I thought was a BP 21J to reviews on noob v7 it looked exactly the same (damn these rep factories are producing almost identical dials!!! - when they were in fact the same...)

thanks Stuvetjee for chiming in though . I didn't know that about BP 21J offering but it's good they do it.

So anyway the left one is a noob v7 ETA base with gen insert, AR sapphire and realigned OGEV (really happy with this light Franken now)

The right one is a BP 21J with a platinum paint mod bezel - it was at the bottom of the shipping box with my franken ETA base - will probably appear on m2m soon.

I will do a writeup of my light Franken DSSD a bit later.
