Yes thats the problem on the V3 Case... WM9 shaped also the Bezel in a wrong way that the crown don't touch the bezel... Not really an improvement for me.... I keep my V2 instead the V3 for shure...

Yepp,That is what I mean Sorry for my poor english

Here are some Pics now There you can see that on the V3 the space between Bezel ans Crown is not good....

So after some dissambling of my V3 and V2... I installed the whole Eta 2824 assembly (movement,Dial and movement holder) with no problem in my V2 case Also the same for the tiny 2876 in the V3 Case There you can see how small the the difference in Crownpostion is in real life... It must be under 0,3mm or what ever .... Can't see really much different in Crownposition....

Hello Gang, today my V3 Sub arrived... Thanks BK but I'm a bit dissapointed... I do not post Pics because there are a lot of them.... You are all right nice watch but..... WM9 done a really bad mistake!!!! The Crown sits too far on the Case,that means they shape too much material where the Tube is located... This is much better on the V2!!!! A nice watch for shure but with this flaw you can do nothing to improve it... Maybe a gen Tube and Crown will do the trick,I will try to experiment about this... The Bezelteeth are also not deep enough Also the SEL's on this one are not curved enough in the middle, look a bit off to me too...

So if are Sub Parts needed let me know,I have a lot laying around;) Crowns,Cases,Crystals,Bracelets etc. Just shoot a PM

You are allright for the flaws,but anyway it's a good Deal. On a MBW there are much Mods and money involved to get it right. You must it see as a base watch. For the money we got a slow beat movement and the bracelet and endlinks looks also good. Must see the Case and bezel construction in flesh. Maybe the Lugs don't need to drilled. When I hve some cash I will order one an d make a comparsion

I also noticed that the Comex 1665 has also a wrong Caseback. They must update this also. Would love to see Bezel assembly on this ones. But for 198 USD it's a really good deal in my opinion.

Hello Gang, Puretime has now released the SD 1665 in a lot of variations. There is also a Comex No date Sub with a SD Case that is wrong. The great white has the wrong Caseback also. But all in all they look good I think. Look here. http://puretimewatch.com/index.php?categoryID=306&offset=210

I think it's a flat T39.

Yep would love to see the Bezel assembly too. You are so right we need a Vintage GMT also and they are not hard to replicate

Yep they will do other variations too. White and Comex I think

Looks good I think http://puretimewatch.com/index.php?productID=2148

+1 Wrong way on the Forum because he is banned here and can't read it. But I wish a good recovery anyway

Where I am ? Haha just kidding.

Happy New Year. Gen is left for shure

Btw the right Model seems to be a Sub 1680 or 16800.

I would go for a complete overhauling. Polishing and get back the nice satin finish. In this condition you get maybe about 350 Bucks in better shape I think up to 500 Euros.

simply yes

MERRY CHRISTMAS RWG I wish you all Merry Christmas

Fantastic Thread,thanks for that! Maybe you get one of the newer Cases to see what we get. I think most of us do not believe what the dealer claimed on their Watches So it's not a suprise for me. Another " Withe Lies Story" Thank u Mike
