Unlike other reps for example the AP Diver or SubC etc, there doesn't seem to be a general consensus as to which factory produces the best DD40s. Does anyone have any views/ insight please?

I still think BP has the upper hand from what I've read. Although Noob might have a better bracelet, I'm not sure. One of the guru's can correct me. I'm planing on pulling the trigger on one and would like to know (SS version)

thanks, glad you're enjoying yours. Who's best for SS?

Unfortunately I'm not as well versed on the stainless versions like I am with the yellow gold but I can tell you if your wanting a dial that has lume sticks then Noob is NOT the way to go.


Noob has messed up and made the sticks too wide. Its as if they just re used the same markers they use for the DateJust II bc the Day Date is supposed to have have a thinner size lume compared to the Date Just models.

Both BP and EW got this rite so that's good.

Based on looks I don't see any differences.

I'd love to know the weight of the EW bracelet to compare with BP though.

Yep costmetically I think all the bracelets BP/EW/Noob all look pretty good. I'm more concerned with the weight of each. I want the heaviest one!!! LOL

The Roman numerals look great on the BP versions. I had both the silver and gold dials. In short you can't go wrong ordering the BP version.

Thank you. Final question. Does the movement choice make a difference to the case shape, like it does with SubC please?

Hey Guys,
New here but have been dealing in replicas for 10+ years.
I have an EW DD 40 stainless steel navy dial that I just got in.
I can snap some photos if interested. So far I have been liking this forum.
Kinda new to using forums and still exploring but very great thing
going on here. Cant believe i have been away from something like this.
