Yes! My buddy just bought those same ones the other week. They are legit! I have no idea how he can sell them for so little.

These might be new-old-stock replacements for Mobbys suits. I think that's a Mobbys logo on them. (Mobbys uses SiTec valves with a Mobbys logo)

At those prices you could grab a set just to keep in your spares kit.

Thats a sweet deal. I just paid DUI $110 for a Sitek exhaust valve last week!

I just got mine in the mail yesterday. The exhaust valve is legit and shipping was fast. Can someone tell me if the thin, opaque disc goes against the outside or the inside of the suit ?

I put the white piece on the outside and the black piece on the inside. Not sure if that's the way that you're supposed to do it, but I dove this morning and they worked great.

The washer goes on the inside, under the nut.
In this case it allows you to tighten the 'nut' (inside suit) without twisting the suit material. As a general rule with fasteners the washer goes under the 'nut' so as you're tightening it it doesn't dig into the surface you're clamping.
