T4D's new $139 Deep Sea

[gazumi]

I'm thinking of adding this to the watchbox. Since I'm no Rolex expert, is there anything on this one that jumps out at you as wrong? I expect it to have flaws of course and the decision to buy or not depends on how the flaws and low price balance each other.

A lot of things. Do you waste your money. Wait for a better version. It will be coming.

Ditto.
...I had the chance to see this in the flesh, and it has alot of flaws.

That Black caseback is ridiculous. Also, it doesn´t even have a Sapphire Crystal on it.
Don´t waste your money...Save for the V2 of it.

Cheers,

i think this is the "better version" we've been waiting for... might be a while for another one to come out...

No one has seen this watch unless they are from the factory in China! It only came in over the weekend there was another model simular a few weeks ago this is not it.
As for waiting for the V2-V3 etc the V2 has been shown by Sead on RG and is not as good as the original V1 it has blue hands but green markers and completely wrong bezel font and it's not sure it has the correct clip either as no pictures exist of it.
There is a newer model from the original factory but that is a V1 with brushed band/steel valve and cleaner bezel font nothing has been done for to the dial or hand lume.
There is an ultimate that we have a sample of with blue lume but it's not anything really different from original and the projected price is $450
so this watch with it flaws remembering that all have flaws at $139 is remarkable value the ones at $270 are not twice as good thats for sure

Only to clarify a point I made on my previous post:

...Indeed I have not seen THIS exactly model T4D sells, but I have seen the a21j DeepSea with the black Caseback here in a local rep store nearby, and was able to check the model for myself there.
As for these other v2 or v3 models, I can´t say what is coming nor what have been made, but if they have the black caseback, and as T4D said there´s nothing really substantial made in changes, then the model should be similar.

I can only say I had a DEEPSEA with polished midlinks and black caseback at hands to look at, and it didn´t have the sapphire crystal too.

I don´t want - by any chance - to attack or to make a bad impression of T4D or the watches that he sells, just posted my impressions about the a21j DEEPSEA I had at hands.

Thanks,
Spirit.

Hi Folks, I have just paid T4D for one of thease Deep sea's, so when i receive it i will try to reveiw it the best i can. Being a newbie don't expect it to be a profesional reveiw but it will be an honest one.
