I must say my experience has been very good .....I print all labels and it is almost always on time. Only issue I have had is my local carrier is lazy and sometimes sticks a "we missed you" sticker in our community box without coming to our door

It would be bad form to wear anything resembling a high end watch, now or after the election

The v3 strap is great. It may be too wide at the SEL for some of the cases like seans case. It is purposefully wide to fit the TC case better. For whatever reason the tc cases (v series, aka wm9 v4) have a wider lug area.....stupid. Anyhow, the v3 clasp I find to be not as nice as the v2 clasp but overally it is nice and the metal is a bit shinier on the v3 strap versus v2. Noticeably better stainless.....

It has a date in the eta position which makes it too far right with the cyclops also being too far right ....besides that it is nice

that crooked cyclops would drive me bonkers

All I can say is hOLY [censored]........nice move in the right direction

Hey everyone, I think BK started a thread a while back…..it is about this company that is fairly unique. The company is called Everest Horology Products. They are a brand new company, based here in the USA and their products will be made in the USA which is quite rare nowadays. I think the watch band is cool and the price is actually a deal at this time. I plan to pick one up for my TC sub. It looks like they are over ½ way there to this project coming to fruition…..if you were interested in this, now is the time to sign up fellas and gals….

That is amazing !!!!

Hey fellow sub lovers, as you may know, I really like the 16610.....like many of you, I came here looking for the best sub....started with chinese wok sub from a member here, then a silix special (that was special), then some timeshops specials, went through several noob subs, then wm9 v1, v2, v3 and now TC sub. Bought a Sean case but decided it was a bit harder to assemble given it comes with no movement ring, TC strap needs working to get on, etc. I settled on the TC case which is what these 2 subs use. They both have a v3 strap which has an excellent SEL fit. The invicta is an 8926 with a few mods. It is my beater since I cant bear to wear my 16610s as beaters.

In case you want to compare rep versus gen....there are a few differences here

Black sub has gen AR cyclops, gen insert, gen crown

Green sub is all rep. Insert was from BK, it is not a wm9 one or the TC one, but something BK had lying around and he gave it to me. I used a watchmaterial pearl on there (one of the nicer ones from the batches).

I have to comment that the crowns are real similar. Does a gen one make a difference ? You decide. The crystals are real similar. I think the TC crystal's date magnifies too much and distorts. Those of you with a TC sub, check to see if your cyclops magnifies more than mine. I removed the cyclops and attached a different one on there. I think the cyclops came off a noob sub. I must admit the crystal edges are real similar and I cant tell a difference in clarity really.

I did use a BK datewheel overlay. TC dwo is nice, has better font and print but the whole thing is printed a tad to the left so depending on how you center it, either all numbers are a tad left justified or some center and some are way too far left, etc. This is on both v1 and v2.

These subs just were at BKs where he pressure tested them for me. My collection is complete and this officially marks the completion of my quest for a good sub. I am going to try and not let the cyclops mag on the green sub bother me...LOL.

These are just some pics of the invicta....good little watch for like $75

I was wondering how the crystal is attached on the new superlumed seadweller. Particularly the first wokky version that was just released early this year? Does it pop off like a noob or is there a crystal retainer or something. I recall reading somewhere the rehaut is 2 pieces ???

I agree the tw case is not as good but the v series tc (wm9 v4) is almost as good IMHO. Have you checked that out ?

use a clark 2.7 it is thinner and easier to press, if that fails, gently sand the inner aspect of the retainer (barely)

I agree, it is not a huge upgrade

Amazing! Is the cyclops ARed?

Yes AR cyclops from londongeorge

The bezel is off a TW sub

So you went ahead and did the Sean case build?

Not a sean case bro

Here is my latest grail watch.....what do you guys think ?

Hey fellas, just a couple of comments. The SEL fit is good but for me is a deal breaker. The TC strap fits better so why not use it ? This is a sweet watch. I think a noobimariner has a higher chance of being WR why ?? well they both have triplock on the crown, and a caseback seal. The TC and gen have 2 potential places to leak in the crystal if not pressed right - the noob has really one and unless the gasket is damaged it is fool proof

I do not agree that the CGs are too short, usually all other subs have the CGs too long. It should be the half of the crown.......

I think it is a bit different for the 16600

CGs are almost as tall as the body of the crown

front of teh CGs are "shaved" yet back of the CGs wrap around like a poorly made pair of rep CGs

more than likely, the rotor is not spinning well......if it is, then the self winding mechanism is not working well, if 21j, not worth messing with, if eta or clone, it is probably a bad reversing wheel.

I have been playing around with lume, the hands are actually easier than the dial itself

these were redone with some very good lume, though not superluminova, however still very bright and strong

The clark hands are weird looking, the mercedes area circle looked huge compared to the stem, etc....I have a second hand that will fit

here is a relumed noob sub, hands were relumed too, PM me if I can help

gen or rep ? if rep, post pics so we can determine which factory

I thought this was a watcheden rep LOL

perfect for cooking chinese food

Do you specifically want to shop at watcheden? Most of the dealers should be able to get this watch! I know Mary can

Well, I know WE has these for 118 shipped, does not get cheaper than that for such a watch (this is with a $2o coupon) and I like to see pics of exactly what I get

Short answer is no. They are not interchangeable.

can original poster please let me know what model this is at WE....thanks so much
