Find a proper dealer and pay the extra - it's well worth it.
I saw the hands were off when I was comparing it to my Red Sub. I looked closer at the macro photos and then it was completely obvious.
The more I looked at the dial, the more I could find wrong with it.

The watch is already on its way back. So far, the seller has been stellar in his responses and offered a full refund immediately (even before I received the watch). I asked if he had any way of getting his money back from the shop he bought it from (said he bought it in Heidelberg). He said he's probably going to take the watch back himself or take it directly to Geneva.

So, anyone out there that is selling a DRSD, I'm in the market again
I would prefer fully documented, but that would have to be a Mk IV. I'd be interested in a Mk III as a watch only.
