Just received mine from T4D last week and love it. However I went with the Asian ETA 2836 movement and glad I did. Didnt like the jerky movement of the 21J for this watch. Beware it's very big and heavy.

Here's some pics. (Still cant figure out how to show the image).

I originally ordered the 21J but had to return the watch because of an ink smug mark inside the dial. I went with the upgrade (2836) primarily because I didn’t like the jerking movement of the 21J. Now that is my opinion. I’m very glad I did because that would have bothered me a lot.
Again, beware its very heavy, thick and big. Some minor flaws for me are; Clasp area around the edges is very sharp. This was ok because I sanded it down. Sometimes the date is off centered and I have to reposition the date. I’m leaning towards having the bezel and pearl replaced because after looking at a gen I feel the pearl sits too high. Sorry I can’t show a picture because I’m out of town this week. Send me a PM and I will send you a pic when I return.
Overall I really love and enjoy the watch. I’ve had it only a week and cant tell you how many complements I have received. Today I was on boarding a plane and a guy sitting down said “Very Nice Watchâ€.
I’ve been looking around for a new bezel and pearl but cant find one yet for the DSSD V3. Does anybody else feel that the pearl should be replaced?

I also have been getting lots of comments on the watch. I have the Asian clone version 28 k beat. The watch can fool most but my Brother in Law saw it and said he knows it is a Replica due to the fact I am to cheap to spend the $$$$ on a real Rolex (True).
