You are right its a bit shallower, but I prefer the new Case why it has Bezel assembly like gen and you can install generic Crystal... But to get a Gen 16800 Dial is an other story hard to get and expensive

Maybe the new MBW Case with Lugholes.. It accepts a generic Glass without edged Crown.... and other Parts... The Noob Case is nice too but you can't change the Glass...

AAAAAAAAAAARGHHHH, you kill me Fantastic project I like it a lot.... I want to build the same one but still waiting for the right Case..

Not really the best setup we took heavy industrial drilling machines. You need to drill precise and the right U/min to get good results. Also really good drillbits. Every hole must countersink as Bobbie describes. This is not easy to do on the outside lugs. But with some technical know how it works.

Yes my friend it works drilled them also at work yesterday I took a Noob Case for testing, but if you want to build a F series with SEL its not the right case. The Lugholes are too deep on the bottom of the case. If you drill higher as it should be the SEL do not fit the case. You can see on the existing holes inside the Lugs what I mean. So a Noob Case is not the first choice for this. But Non SEL will fit Needs some practice to do it right but it works. As we all know Bobby is a nitpicker in those things. He want it perfect and this is good But you must have the right tools to do it right. So now we know it is possible and maybe there are some nice projects in the pipeline. be continued......

Btw there was also a blue Submariner in steel years ago. But this one was build only for the Asian market. It was also a ugly watch

I saw it also time before The new modells are damn ugly like Yachtmaster 2 and Deep Sea. Like Steph say save some money and buy a gen before prices grow up. Shame to Rolex for this ugly pieces.

Also my opinion... The MBW ones are great for the value They acceppt Gen Sprinbars and when you put some Gen Endlinks on it nobody can spot its a rep braceletwhen you wear it..

I would go for TW-Best More acurate than the CN Rolexes. Just my two Cents

Nice

So you say the Noob Dial is not good, than show me one Rep Dial which is better. When you compare different gen Dials than you have different fonts etc. For the price about 30$ I think its damn good. Shure Gen Dial is better but cost you 10th of the Noob Dial.

Great story and fantastic review. This is a all time Classic and with Lugholes. Laz my friend its a really beauty and I love the white Dial. Wear it well and never sell it. (Damn I sold my gen Sub with Lugholes in the past :bangin: ) Congrats to your beauty

Not the rep Insert

T-Serial was 95 right, but comes with Non Sel Bracelet. You mean late F-Serial Lugholes and SEL.

There is also a different in Material and Quality. A Gen one won't scratch easily like a Rep. If you get one for a good price catch it, its worth the money.

BTW there is a LV (Engraved Rehaut) and a standard Euromariner (MBK Case) waiting for new owners in EU...

I think only the Lupe.

Hey nice Good Idea to take the dremel... haha Frank is the Dremel King since Cologne

I know it

I don't agree BK, I handeld both Cases there are no differences in shape and construction (expect Rehaut engravings and engravings on the Lugs,Caseback) All looks the same.

Looks like a nice GTG Hands up for the next one...

Thats also my opinion. Correct drilled Lugholes on the base Case is good enough for me. Cg's and all other small issues don't bother me at all. You all must understand the Case is still there. I told Chris to talk to the Factory that they drill the Lugs 1,2 mm and not smaller than on al other Modells. I think also its easier to do than smaller. When this all will work than we can happy enough I think

All aftermarket Crystals with gen Specs will fit the WM9.

Great Review as allways And many thanks for your warm words. W.Genzo is right about the bracelet on a Z- Serial. there are no engravings on the last link. Thanks my friend.
