This is a good watch, and the hands are the biggest flaw, but the noob exp2 is a better OTB watch. That thing looks and feels so gen it's scary.

I accidentally dropped them on the stove. They are a little dirty. If you can/want clean them, their yours.
Considering that these two are very similar watches I would bet that if you did get the SD it wouldn't get much wrist time

Just got the 21/24j in the mail --- didnt even take the plastic off as I'm about to go to sleep.
But what I noticed is that it's beautiful and it the movement (while 21/25j) is much smoother then any other 21j I've seen or owned.
Waiting on TC bracelet but ill post pics later since I don't think anyone has posted the 25j pics.

Why make us wait on baited breath
Where to start... The bezel is very very very hard to spin. Feels like you are going to break it every time you try to spin it. The bracelet is just horrible. Not to big of a deal because TC combo is on the way. The last link on the bracelet closest to the case actually rubs on the case.
Along with all of that, the end link wobbles pretty bad. Not secure at all. Looks like no gap when you hold the bracelet one way and the other way opens a big gap like this.
Also the quick set date feature does not work
And the movement just doesn't feel right when setting the date. Are you supposed to hear a clicking sound as if you are spinning the movement as you push the crown down and tighten it?
Overall just not happy with it. The only good part about this watch is the pearl!

Grab a soft cloth, put the watch face down onto it and spin the watch around whilst holding the bezel with your fingers through the cloth - a couple of twirls will free the bezel up as mine was similiar
bracelet - await TC as you say
Clicking sound - unsure - on my asian 2836 the watch starts to wind itself a little on the first couple of threads of the crown
I ordered 2. One 21j and one Asian ETA. ETA has not come in yet. The best part is that that I payed at the same time and the TD was supposed to ship them together. But only watch came? I emailed TD with no response yet.

That makes sense (21j feeling shitty)
I sold my 21J "super rep" sea dweller because the movement was jerky and felt like crap.

21Js are great for what they are, a no thrills bombproof movement. However when they're in a "rolex" there's no getting around the rotor noise and the hand jerkiness.
Guys I'm bout to post pics -- can someone tell me how to open this clasp ? Is it a glidelock ? (Don't want to **** anything up.)
I've had bad luck with what I thought was the "obvious" with other watches I just want to make sure so yeah.
So this confirms another part of the info we have:
-External look is the same as ETA but the "insides" should be different.
-Stem is different from ETA but Crown/tube should be the same.
-Same dial feet position as eta. Different locking method using screws but works as good.
-Hands have the same tube size as eta.
-Movement ring works for eta.
-No quick change date at midnight, slow like the a7750's.
With this movement one should be able to make a direct swap replacing only the movement and stem. Or the other way around, you could use an ETA compatible crown and hands and keep the same movement.
