This was the photo I received prior to shipping... Actually with the DSSD I was mainly concerned with the bezel insert. I wasn't aware of a dial issue.

Let's wait and see - haven't received a tracking number yet and it hasn't passed the border to us Huns yet... And yes, I intend to very definitely post pics in this thread.

Excellent review and pics, JMB! I agree with you that the V5 for $148 is a spectacular deal. This one is definitely on my short list. Thanks for sharing, you got a great piece. Take care!

In eurotimez site, i can read 298$ for copy eta, and + 85$ for genuine swiss eta. :(

For the two DG movement options you'll need to e-mail them for that and they will generate a proper invoice reflecting the movement you want.

Great watch, great pics... drool.

Now you've made me send an e-mail to Eurotimez, asking them for the availability of your type DSSD :) (couldn't find it on their site)

Wear it in good health!

As far as being accurate looking, how would this compare to the latest version Milgauss?

If you buy one

If you decide to buy the Eurotimez version, MAKE SURE you get a direct full view of the dial in your preview photos. Also they only wait about 48 hours for you to Ok the watch then they ship regardless of whether or not you have approved. So be prompt when the photos are posted.If they don't respond to your emails.,PM them to either Neo or Helina

Eurotimez is having lots of QC problems with this watch. Another dealer said the reason he doesn't deal with the factory that Eurotimez uses is their watches are all over the place as far as QC.

I have one and I'm pretty lukewarm about it at the present time.
Here are my problems
1. "original Gas Escape Ring" is off about one tick
2.As techlogik stated dial print is slanted, especially the printing on the lower half of the dial
3. 6 marker is crooked
4. Supposed genuine ETA movement is fast by over 1 minute/day( May improve with time, but should be much better out of the box
5. Fliplock is very loose
6.Lume is not very good at all.Mine only lasts for about 30-45 minutes, and then it's gone completely.

Most of these problems are fixable,slanted lettering the exception, and the Gas Escape Ring partially fixable, but they require a trip to my watchmaker and a teardown to have the problems fixed. this is the 403.00 USD version, and to make it to where it SHOULD have been out the box is going to cost a couple of hundred dollars more. So to get this watch where it needs to be (and still not perfect) I'll have over 600.00 USD invested.

So my advice is buy with care!!
