Looks like a a21j V2...

hour hand isn´t Maxi, clasp doesn´t seem to have the indent.
...Would need some more pics of the clasp inside and out to tell. the back looks darker than it should too, but not as bad as the BLACK caseback of the shitty v1.

Cheers,
Spirit.

I guessed it´s a a21j because of the wrong hour hand, when you have a FAT minutes hand (Maxi Hand) and a thin hours hand (not Maxi) it´s most likely a error that a21j watches come with.
...You can see that it´s almost - if not in all - a21j watches, but even the AsiaETA Clones have the correct, fat, Maxi Hours hand.

the indent on the clasp that I was talking about is the little place to snap your nail on, when you need to open the clasp. The V2 doesn´t have it, while the v3 has it. V2 to V3 have some other differences too (as the lume, which it all blue on the v3)..and so goes on

Here are some pics to clarify it better, against the GEN on the bigger pic:

...I´d advice you to check this dealer better to see if it´s really going to send what he is saying he is, but it´s impossible to know for sure without pics of the movement. Ask him to open up the caseback and send pics of the movement to you, and make sure they are actual pics of the same watch.

Cheers,

okay...well he told that it d lume is not blue.hope u can help me out on this.he is a local dealer where i live and iv been buying reps frm him for quite some time now.he does clarify what is asian and what is ETA and told me its ETA or money back guaranteed.which i bought an AP royal oak automatic and popped the back cover to reveal the ETA 2836 movment which was confirmed by a watchmaker here.here's a link for reference on the model (i think its the same watch because numerous local dealers here have the same picture in their listing) and ignore the website anyway,i know its on the scammers list.im just using the pic for reference purposes only

and how come im more leaning to the fact that this is a v3 though mentioned v2? :S

hmm maybe the lume is not purely blue by what my local dealer meant,cuz according to oldecrow,he mentioned that its greenish blue

The site you posted won´t load for me, dunno why...

...But OldeCrow´s topic has all what you need to know about the DEEPSEA´s differences, for sure :D
The V3 is the only one with the indent on the clasp and the coronet engraved on the diving extension link, keep that in mind and it will be easy to tell them apart quickly!

This version is just a upgraded version of the most cheap DSSD...

It has the shitty black caseback, has the wrong all-green lume, the "RING LOCK SYSTEM" engravingg is wrong, the ROLEXROLEXROLEX engraving is also wrong, they got NO coronet engraved on the diving extension link...etc...

I wouldn´t call it a v3, the only thing that they have got is the indent on the clasp, but all the other things are v1.
These models don´t even have Sapphire (don´t even know if they have mineral crystal) ...because of the domed crystal.

It has a glossy dial too, I have had one of these in my hands to check, and you´ll get annoyed by the reflections...It´s SO glossy, that the domed crystal makes it unreadable at some points...

If you´re looking for accuracy, stay away...

Cheers,
Spirit.
