1x 201a non matching     

Read many people say it doesnt, and one saying it did but they were an extremely tight fit, so tight that on the first try he thought they didnt fit

Went to one that was connected to a metro and had 4-5 floors but cant remember which, had shoes bags watches etc

Watches were on the top floor, had to ask for an Automatic to see anything decent, got an LV wallet in the basement carpark, cool experience but huge PITA to get a decent price

Someone PM me dealer info

Will this SD accept all gen parts? I'm specifically looking for it to accept gen insert and crystal. Thanks in advance and great looking watch.

If its the same construction as the first version then it wont take a gen crystal, on the gen the detachable rehaut fits inside crystal gasket, on the rep the rehaut just sits in under the gasket/crystal and the diameter is too large to fit inside a gen gasket

so say I picked up an Lv with these specs:

Noobmariner LV w/ WM insert (shaved and fitted), WM pearl, BK crown/tube, Crystal replaced correctly (datemag was offcentered), Cg

+1 for forget rehaut engraving... on the cheap ones it doesnt line up with the markers and on the WM9 they didnt use the right font, if rehaut engraving is important to you than neither flaw is satisfactory

IMHO it will take a very long time to profit on these, there are so many of these subs in existence and alot of the people buying the new case version in the next few years will dump there old one, sea dweller prices seem to be going no where yet after 2 years and theres supposed to be around 10x less of them than subs

The straightness of the surfaces and polish job say it all, bottom is gen, who cares what the top is its obvious a bunch of flaws have been polished over and its not something expected from a swiss watch

The V looks a little weird, on the gen if you drew lines from the tops of the E's on either side it would hit the top of the V lines or incredibly close, and the angle of the - between I and O looks off a couple of degrees counter clockwise

You can also try a sunglasses shop, the screws on the hinges are similar sizes and theres a good chance you can find one that works this is how I replaced mine
