Del 4,528 Posted January 7, 2011 I want to buy a 21j DSSD, but which one should I choose ? ReplicaMake's $88 DSSD seems stupidly good value but would I be better buying PrestigeWatchCo's $149 DSSD from the "milguass factory"? Links below. Lay's DSSD Robert's DSSD Key difference (apart from price ) appears to be mineral v's sapphire crystal, but are there any other significant differences? Perfect 10? Better lume? Better 21j movement? Please vote now and post your words of wisdom . Let the fight begin... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andygt 0 Posted January 7, 2011 Roberts - it's got a sapphire crystal and 'correct 10', not sure what the lume is like on Lay's but on the milgauss factory ones it's a lot better than the standard rep lume Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prestigewatchco 2 Posted January 7, 2011 Actually this could be academic the best milguass 21j is already over sold and supply is difficult so difficult in fact that factory cannot guarantee delivery until April as it stands now. There is however another version of the watch that we used to carry that has been reduced in price by factory basically the same watch but without the better 10 bezel which we will be listing at $99 which makes this a no brainier if you want good lume and sapphire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prestigewatchco 2 Posted January 7, 2011 And to add confusion to the pot the latest best DSSD by the milguass factory with 2836/28800 ETA clone Which I have just taken delivery of 200 pieces at a special price will be offered at $199 in the near future So myself I think this is the best DSSD offer of all time for a very good DSSD with the more desirable 2836 movement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slim 0 Posted January 7, 2011 I won't vote because I've never seen the $149 version, but here's a pic (already posted in Lay's feedback section) of the $88 DSSD which I own. One observation: you might have to stand on it to seat the crystal properly From the pics of the $149 version, which are commendably clear, it doesn't appear to be of higher build quality than the $88 version - although the sapphire crystal would be nice to have. I can't see a significant difference between the '10' on my bezel and the 'correct 10', and while I'm sure there is some minute difference, I don't care about it personally. So for me it comes down to whether the sapphire crystal is worth an extra $61. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,528 Posted January 7, 2011 Well that kinda ended that didn't it? Col. Yeah, but look what I've flushed out from Robert - a 2836 DSSD for $199 . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slim 0 Posted January 7, 2011 Of course, I typed that before I read the previous contributions, which seem to make the question a bit academic. If I was buying one now I'd probably think the sapphire was worth an extra $38, assuming the quality is as good in other respects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prestigewatchco 2 Posted January 7, 2011 Well we are obviously missing something because the watch that sells at $88 is $45 cheaper to buy than the best milguass version and readily available while the the more expensive milguass version is close to impossible to get. So unless all the trade is wrong there must be significant differences to justify $45 in this trade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prestigewatchco 2 Posted January 7, 2011 Well that kinda ended that didn't it? Col. Yeah, but look what I've flushed out from Robert - a 2836 DSSD for $199 . Yes and not only a DSSD 2836 but one considered by many "experts" to be the best in the market Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So unless all the trade is wrong there must be significant differences to justify $45 in this trade That was my thinking, hence the poll. I couldn't see you selling the same watch for such a difference in price so I was interested to know what the differences were. In any case, you've got my attention with the 2836 DSSD for $199. Any idea on timescales for purchasing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pollux1 3 Posted January 7, 2011 I'd go for Robert's. Sapphire is light years better than mineral crystals and one of THE MOST obvious tells to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prestigewatchco 2 Posted January 7, 2011 Yes they have arrived yesterday just a matter of listing them when I get 5 minutes it's the same as the $249 we currently have in stock only difference is price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark8111 0 Posted January 7, 2011 Bugger.. wanna buy a watch??.. i'v just ordered $88 dssd however the one just announced at $199 sounds good. Might end up with two Cheers Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted January 7, 2011 The lume on the hour markers of Lay's DSSD is outstanding by any standards. The lume on the hands is good for a rep, but not close to the markers. With a decent charge it's easy to read the time at 4:00 AM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
w204 0 Posted January 7, 2011 Few things to factor here since I own Robert's $149 DSSD. *The ,10, is correct for a DSSD, the offset 10 is not. This is huge if you are worried about accuracy. *Lume on Robert's is crazy bright. *Shipped out on the 21st, received on the 23rd. Thailand to Hawaii so add another 12 hours of travel. *Rehaut is engraved, not sure about Lay's If you know what you want, Robert is easily the fastest here. Don't get me wrong, $88 is a tremendous value but those little things that Robert's one have an advantage over swayed me enough to pay a bit more for the DSSD. Heck, if I had known Robert was going to put out the same one with 2836 for $199, that's an even better value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeNnY 29 Posted January 7, 2011 *Rehaut is engraved, not sure about Lay's Rehaut is engraved, lume is decent, serial number, signs - laser engraved between lugs and on bracelet.. small details gives it WOW effect they are almost the same.. when you add lays price for shipping sometimes the price would be the same like with Robert + Lay can transship trough UK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirDomino 0 Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) And to add confusion to the pot the latest best DSSD by the milguass factory with 2836/28800 ETA cloneWhich I have just taken delivery of 200 pieces at a special price will be offered at $199 in the near future So myself I think this is the best DSSD offer of all time for a very good DSSD with the more desirable 2836 movement It does indeed complicate the DSSD wars... Does this new $199 Milguass DSSD use the 316F or 316L Steel? Could you detail the improvements over the noobfactory "Ultimate" 2836 gen swiss version which was previously the "best" available? http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...?showtopic=7378 I mean is it essentially the same (or better?) for $150 cheaper?
