I thought WM9 is releasing a SD model sometime later this year?

I used a tiny screw driver. I'm sure I pulled it out in the wrong position. I guess I have some searching to do.

I'm debating whether to wait for the WM9 version or if this is good enough to get now. One of the features that WM9 seems to advertise is that gen parts will be drop in fit for their watch, is that the same case for the the v5?

Curious how you plan to do this besides a gen dial (if they even fit). It seems like another posted a while back, the factories probably have a big supply of the happy feet and we'll have to wait until that stock runs out.

I think I read in the Gio review of the V5 from Eurotimez the data window is correct... is this not the case?

Fix the happy feet. Fix the happy feet. Fix the happy feet. Fix the happy feet.

Whats left to improve on this besides lume?

First time taking apart a watch. I thought the crown was retained by a spring pusher thing near the stem. I pushed down on that and pulled the crown out and it seemed to come out okay. Now that I have it back in, it seems to just fall out instead of stopping when I pull out. Suggestions?

I have a gen orange bezel and once they fix the damn happy feet on the logo, I think i'll pick up a Chrono or a black bezel model.

Looking for a brown leather strap just like this: http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_pag...ee537685d3e3757 That sort of clasp model doesn't seem to be sold separately?

Gen POs seem to go for $1600-1700 on TZ forums right now... sell the bracelet for $200-350 on ebay... So for warranty + genuine + and working HE valve + cost of box and papers + Cal2500 movement + risk in reps, seems like its better to just save up for the gen in this case.

So this is about a $500 rep? Another ~$100 for double AR?

If only the logo was correct!

I just got mine in and the 0 in the 10 seems to be slightly crooked. However, reading over Toad's review, it looks exactly the same: Anybody else feel the 0 in the 10 is a bit crooked?

Just curious if the actual ETA 2892 is used in any reps. The movement itself seems to be at least $200 from Orfei.

The problem with the Narikaa is the horrible date window and font, it looks completely off to me as well as the logo. I don't think any gen has got the logo right yet.

I just ordered one a few days ago, the dial looks beautiful.

From what I can tell, the main weaknesses are: 1. The shape and feet of the Omega logo is all wrong. 2. Lume is weak compared to gen 3. Pearl is of dubious quality If someone can make these improvements ala WM9 has been doing for the Rolex world, seems like it would be another big seller. Any other suggested improvements to the "Ultimate"?

What a coincidence. I bought that watch first but declined it after I examined the photos more and then found out how much metal bracelets cost. I was able to get out of having them ship it to me because I pointed out their description of the item was incorrect, they had the wrong ref numbers.

New to the rep world. I own 2 gen Omegas. However, I want to buy either a Rolex, Zenith, or IWC. These are all 5k+. I want to know what it sorta feels like owning each of the above and buying reps ultimately cost me close to nothing because once I decide which $5k+ watch I'll be buying, the reps seem to hold their market value in these rep forums so I can sell them back to the rep community. Ultimately, I get to make a much more informed decision on what it's like to wear these watches and see which gen I actually want to get and it'll just cost me a marginal amount to do this evaluation.

So the dealers most recommended here don't seem to carry many Zenith automatics. I'm especially interested in the Multicity but wanted to get a rep first before I blow $7000 on a real one. Any recommendations? I've found a few from google but who knows how good these are? http://www.moscowstore.com/index.php?cPath..._watches_Zenith http://www.replica247.com/categories/Japan...Zenith-Replica/ http://www.hotreplica.com/product_info.php...9908cc09bd9b03d

I ordered one of their refurb Submariner watches recently but I haven't been able to get confirmation he has been receiving any of my emails. He did however send me an email asking for confirmation on some stuff so I feel like my emails may have been going to his junk email box or something. I also wanted to confirm his refurb watches are V2 of the product which it doesn't seem clear from the site.

Way to persevere.

Are you sure the refurbs are V2? Refurb: http://www.watchmaker9.tv/products/REFURB-...07-Z-SERIAL.htm V2: http://www.watchmaker9.tv/products/ROLEX-S...08-Z-SERIAL.htm It seems to indicate on the Refurb page: "The 2007 Z-Serial Submariner 16610 features" While the V2 page: "The 2008 Z-Serial Submariner 16610 features"

Turns out its the V4.
