digger2 0 Posted May 11, 2011 Had no problems at all. Are you sure about the two-piece crystal? Have confirmed with about 4 dealers (all trusted either here/other forums) that the cheap version (read 21j, approx 148$) has a two piece laminated crystal. But it is apparently better sealed than the V1's. Dial has no happy feet and the back has a serial number. So this is the upgraded V1 or could possibly call it a V1.5 Single piece sapphire is only available on the V2 Ult as of now. I couldn't justify the extra just for a two piece caseback,working bezel lock and the single glass,so I've paid up for the 21j. No doubt the movement is great on the V2 but I see this as more of a weekend watch so in my case the wrist time won't justify the 200$+ price tag for the V2 Thank's thorne and Greg for information, will probably order one of these.

Relax mate, probably didnt come out the way i meant it... I meant most of us got to go with what the dealer says on this. That's what I'm doing with the 21j I have just ordered, dealer says two piece with better sealing than the V1, so I'm taking his word for it. In case I have lamination issues somewhere down the line....then I got screwed. Edited May 11, 2011 by thorne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thorne 3 Posted June 8, 2011 OK it finally got here couple days ago and looks the business and is keeping great time too...swapped the stock black rubber for a Bob shark from of my Pams... Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
digger2 0 Posted June 8, 2011 I have had mine for a couple of weeks now and it has been in water maybe 5 times and still no signs of delamination. It keeps good time as long as it is on my wrist but the power reserve is very poor (about 8 hours), I havn't figured out why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
