I haven't seen anything on this in a long time. Maybe this can help with any questions you might have regarding the setting and use of a GMT watch. http://fejack.net/misc/gmt24/gmt24.htm

Great choice. Glad you are picking the best to start with. It should last you a VERY long time.

I was the guy who Veja74 gave the orange bezel to. I have a pearl you can have. PM me with your address and leave a note stating that you are the guy looking for the UPO pearl.

Either is a good choice. You need to narrow it down to whether you want drilled lugholes, engraved rehaut, crown etching, solid midlinks etc. There are several versions of these watches and this allows you to choose an "era" when picking your sub. For example. many people do not like the ROLEXROLEXROLEX engravings that Rolex started doing on the rehauts of their recent subs. You now have the option of ordering your sub without this "feature". My advice is to read up on subs till you know what model you are interested in...Pick the watch, THEN pick the dealer.

Do a search for Replica Watch Info

It would be way easier to browse the sales area if you had to list CONUS or EU along with the description (for the thread name). I know there are people selling from other places but these two seem to account for the vast majority of watches being sold. Here is my reasoning: I believe that many of the members prefer to buy within their "territory". I am a little wary of purchasing items from EU members as I had a watch take over a month to get here. I'd like to quickly be able to scan the sales posts for CONUS sales. It becomes very cumbersome clicking on each link that you are interested in, just to see whether or not the member is CONUS or not. Members who do not care either way would be unaffected as the only difference would be the CONUS/EU tag at the beginning (or end) of the post title. If CONUS takes up too much space, we could all agree on something like US and EU. What say you?

Thanks for the review. Your pictures are excellent!

This is exactly the watch I would choose if I could only have one gen. Superb watch! Congrats!

Great review. I thought you had purchased a Euromariner at some point? It would be interesting to see these two watches compared (with pictures of both) in the same review vs. gen. One thing I did not see addressed is the date magnification. There were several intensive threads re: the cyclops strength vs. date wheel font size vs, distance of cyclops from date wheel. Is this as good as gen on the "WM9"? Chris at Eurotimez put a lot of effort into getting it just right in the Euromariner. Would you say that the Euromariner and the "WM9" are exactly alike in this regard? So let me get this right, in order to build the perfect "WM9", all you need to do is: 1. Shave the CGs a little 2. Replace the pearl 3. Source a Noob bracelet Will a Noob dial fit in this watch...anyone tried it yet?

I noticed one thing..and I may be totally wrong here but in CONCLUSIONS, where it says: "What flaws bug you the most? If it's the half dot @ 3...then you need either a V2 or V1. If it's the too big lume dot @ 3...then you need a V3...if it's the poor QC on the centring of the other lume dots...you need a gen." Specifically, where it reads: "If it's the half dot @ 3...then you need either a V2 or V1." Shouldn't it say "...then you need either a V2 or V3"? It is my understanding that the V1 has the half dot, the V2 has a (smaller than V3) full dot, and the V3 has a full dot. Hope this helps and I apologize if I am incorrect here.

Got one from Andrew. It does feel like quality and it repels dust. Thanks

Great Review. I love the matrix you created.You should be a technical writer!

Not a good rep

No offense, but that is the worst DeepSea rep I have yet to lay eyes on. I would just hold off if I were you or get a DeepSea Lite that is available at some of the dealer's sites.

A lot of people have complained about Andrew/Josh's prices being a little higher than some of their competitors. I too was considering jumping ship and a finding a new dealer but my latest experience with Andrew has done nothing but solidify my loyalty to Trusty Time. I purchased a SSD V2 a couple of months ago, and lately the rotor had gotten very noisy. A few days ago it stopped keeping time, so I opened the caseback, took off the rotor, and discovered that I had a 2836 Asian copy movement. A lot of you are probably thinking that I should have gotten a gen movement to begin with but we are dealing with the rep world, drop shipments, and horrible QA. I am judging my experience using these facts as a baseline. After my watchmaker confirmed the clone movement I was a little upset. I wrote to Andrew explaining the situation and he responded saying that I should send the watch back for a replacement. I imagine that there are other dealers that would offer the same thing. What set Andrew apart is that when I informed him that I had already modded the bezel and crown guards and did not wish to send the watch back, he quickly responded that if I could prove via photograph that the watch movement was indeed not a gen Swiss ETA 2836, then he would just send me a movement free of charge. After the pictures had been sent, Andrew told me that the movement would be on its way the next day. I ordered an Omega SMP Planet Ocean rubber strap at that time and he included it with the movement. The package arrived in three days with a shinny new ETA 2836 movement and my strap! I am very pleased by the way I was treated and I am also impressed with the speed at which Andrew addressed this issue. He could have put this on the back burner as it is not a revenue generating transaction, but he took care of me as if I had ordered 10 watches from him. Needless to say, I am going to remain a customer of Trusty Time.
