wm9 sub felt lighter than the original sub , other than that it was perfect.

Well I'd say don't underestimate this boards power in terms of influence.As far i know when you google replica watch or replica watch forums there are not many forums with this many active members showing up. When i say active members i mean people like buy reps talk about them here all the time as a hobby.That alone makes a lot of customers to replica watch makers.Also lets not forget the people that we influence around us that are not on this board that end up buying reps just because of our experience and what they see on our wrists. That being said.We do not need the grading system of the factories but we can create our own standarts and once a couple rep watch makers follow and make better build watches ( by the way i feel that most members here do not hesitate to pay a little extra for quality when buying a replica watch) ,then the other watch maker will follow. I belive it can be done.

ahaahah okkk

why do u think he'd need a watch?does time matter compared to infinity?

Lately i have been shopping for an engagement ring and couldnt help but notice the 4"C" 's of a diamond. How every C (cut,clarity,color,carat) adds or takes away from the value of a diamond.like a standart. I know it is very very hard in replica watches world but , i think it would be great if there was such standart for replica watches too.Not that strict but something to go by. Something official that everyone agrees to.So it would make it easier to figure out how well a replica is made.If the moderators of this board who do reviews.Or members Who do reviews would come up with some standart like that,it would make it easier for noobies like me or any other members to understand. For example,if it was up to me to choose standarts I would pick 1)movement (swiss or clone eta or asian,quartz,faux chorono,how many beats) that i think is very important.I would always choose eta over asian if there isnt a huge price gap.Some do want quality and reliability . 2)Glass quality (sapphire or not) altough this is not the most important thing i think having sapphire is just plain beautiful 3)Luminosity (how good lume levels are and how long they last) . For me luminosity is very important.It seems to be an overlooked detail for some but i love the fact that i can read the time at night.(i work nights ) 4)Water Resistance . I'd hate to have a divers watch replica and not be able to wear it while swimming or snorkel diving or diving for that matter.(not so deep though). Is it really really hard to have good water resistance in replica watches or any hand made watch?? I mean any replica watch with a rating below 50meters would scare me to take it in to water.I would like to do so if i spend $300 on a good replica. 5)how accurate is the watch made. Replica watch,of course it should look like what you intend it to look like after all (dials,bezels,bracelets, etc etc) I believe that as end users of replica watches, if we were to demand these basic stuff from replica watchmakers they'd start making good reliable watches.(not that they dont now) A rep. watchmaker comes with a case saying it is a 1:1 rep and claims case takes genuine parts and movement,that i think is awesome.I think a guy like me who can not shell out or can not justify to shell out $4,000 - $10,000 grand(submariner,luminor daylight chrono,daytona etc etc) could literally start off buying a 1:1 replica with water resistance and what not and go from there.Adding a genuine part slowly every now and then.That'd cost him fraction of the original watch and look exactly like it.How well is that? Some do manage to do that , i read about it.frankens and not.I believe couple years back,, there were not a single replica watch made 1:1 that'd take genuine parts and movement.that i call progress.if we can demand more we should get more Build a quality product and people will follow and maybe a grading system like above with a couple additions would help new guys like me It would make it easier for replica watch noobs like me to understand how it goes . Cheers

Thank you all for sharing your opinions and being helpfull. Even i have to send it to get it fixed , it still is a solid watch.hope the water resistance up to 300 m is legit. George is not happy i brought it up here as critiscm but overall even if i have to spend a little extra on the side this is a quality watch. cheers.

if this color difference is accepted normal in broad daylight , then this watch has no problem like i say.u guys tell me.

I have contacted BK, and will ship the watch to him in a couple days so he can check it out. As for George , I am going to deal with him in a different way. I bought a refurbished replica watch @ $375 . What we should realize is that for that amount someone could go and buy a brand new watch that will look almost identical (but we choose not to right ) , except it wont say rolex on the dial.Eventhough this was a cheaper version of the watches he builds , it still is not a cheap watch guys,come on now.For that much money i would expect the seller to honor his word about the dial hands and whatsoever being new and assume they would be cosmetically under warranty. I just cant justify him not accepting to fix it bla bla bla.This might just go on forever and drive everyone who is involded insane. Bottomline is next time i decide to buy a replica rolex,WM9 will definately be NOT the person to buy, although i do admire the quality of watches he makes.I'd rather buy it from BK who basically sells improved version of WM9 watches.Not only that he lives only 5 hours from where i am in Cali,he also happens to be a trusted seller of this board. Thank you all and Cheers

http://watchmaker9.tv/products/REFURB-SUBM...07-Z-SERIAL.htm This is a brand new watch with REFURBISHED 2007 Z Submariner watchcase and bracelet from returns or service projects left over. There may be slight cosmetic imperfections on the watchcase and bracelet, for example: scratches. The dial/hands set/bezel insert and crown set are brand new. We won't take return or exchange, or offer replacements for cosmetic issues on the Watchcase and Bracelet on this item. If you want to be sure to get the perfect item, Please Check Out its New Model, the 2008 Z-Serial Submariner 16610 or the 2008 M-Serial Submariner 16610 this is what was advertised on the website.the case has a nick on it which does not bother me at all.i already knew this could be the case with this refurbished watch. i am waiting for the dealer to do something about it .got my fingers crossed.

i just dont get it.i'd say ***k it if it was like a $100 generic replica.i did research before i bought this.read a lot of reviews of different people about these watches and having bought refurbished items before did not see any problem buying one from him. even the cyclopse x/y axis is a bit off.i mean come on if i can see these problems being not a watch expert , the maker of this watch should already know about this already. i contacted him about this issue and he wont take it back since it is refurbished.but the problem is not the case or the bracelet in this watch.it is the dial and the hands which were advertised as new. i really dont feel like i should spend any more money in this particular watch because it is wrongfully made and wrongfully advertised. we'll see what happens .hope he stands behind his product which i think he will.

Just got this watch from a well know dealer as a refurbished product roughly for $400.could not help but notice the lume color difference on the hour markers and the hands.is this something common?should i ask him to fix this? i mean , if this is normal on a gen rolex or rep rolex then i am not worried.but if it is not.i sure dont want to see this everytime i look at the watch. could members who know about these issues give an advice please. thank you,
