AllergyDoc 40 Posted October 14, 2010 This is my 3rd DeepSea. The first one had blocky, thick numbers on the bezel. The second was a V3 with an Asian-ETA. I modded the bezel numbers to make them thicker but kind of botched the job. This model is currently $88 from Replicamake, plus shipping. It's well worth it. I have two complaints: the steel is filthy and the clasp-lock piece is cheapie. The steel will probably clean up nicely with the bike lube treatment. I hope. The clasp lock, I don't know. I've improved it some with some needle-nose pliers but it's still kind of floppy. But for $88? The lume is great and all blue. You can barely hear the rotor. The screws came out easy. The glidelock clasp works great. The bezel numbers looks V3; a little thin. The pearl is a big improvement over my previous versions: not zitty. The "1" on the 10 might be a little crooked. No big deal to me. See? Nice pearl: Beveled date window: Nice shiny watch: Seriously? $88? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
