So Wm9 YM still ruled ?

Bezel teeth look like a v1 to me ..

@ glenn, my build is with Vac at the moment, so I cant take a pic from the front. the movement is a 2892-a2 using a stilty spacer.

@6now, at seans site, go to rolex and look for ca.3135 case set.

Hi M,

May I know more about the stilty spacer you mentioned ? Where can I get it from ?

I'm looking into getting a Sean's case

But have not got any idea what spacer is compatible for a ETA movt...

Thanks in advanced !

here is Seans case with gen insert and gen crown. he is not a "trusted dealer" here on the board, but it as trust worthy as they come. e t a s w i s s . n e t is a good place to start.

Hi,

Is is possible to take a close up pic of the teeth from the front (facing dial position) , I'm also curious about the movement installed in your picture 16610:) care to share ?

Many Thanks

I think iRolex is referring to BK's TW bezel , yes they are very identical to Gen Bezel teeths. v1 teeth is indeed short and shallow, looks like older 16800 bezels...

But one thing bothers me on BK's TW bezel is they are not consistent , meaning when you look around every teeth, you will notice not every teeth is as long and deep... It's about 1/5 of bezel that has shallower teeth.

I still like v2 bezel the best ...

But im starting to get interested in Sean's bezel... They have very long and defined teeth , the shape of hollow-ins are also very Gen -like

May we know what is the easiest and risk-free way to pry apart the 3- piece SEL ?

Much appreciate on any guidance

Please bear in mind that the gen SEL are shorter than average Rep SEL, the lugbars on Gen look longer as on every rep. Always a detail nobody talks about. I could send you maybe my Gen bracelet for measurement if you are interested, just drop me a pm and we can discuss max

That's absolutely right , I need a shorter in length SEL for my TW case... This is one that bothers me so much I'm intending to get a gen bracelet : ) , thanks for bringing up Eiderdaus ...

Chef I'm in for this project , pls Let me know if u need anything

Comprehensive review ! Make this a award winning sticky thread mod:)

PM me if you want to buy a WM9 v2

You are the winner !

Ya I did but I am pretty sure its the exact as PT

We wish to see the Gen parts in your 3135 clone

What the [censored] is Nsfw m8?

A - WM9 V3 ( Tells - 1.Thick silver marker ring, 2. shorter bezel teeth 3. Tell from SEL fitting in some pic )

B - Gen

Just my observation

Hi all,

I thought this would be interesting to compare a 21J noob LV sub with a Wm9 V2 .

Although these pix might not be able to give a 100% comparison of the 2 original specs due to the Gen crown and insert installed on the WM9, a WM pearl is also installed on the Noobmariner+ slight sanding on insert to make it sits lower on bezel.

But we'll just take a look at em .

Sorry about the file size...

Noob LV is always on top picture.

no.

Hi highoeyazuhudee,

I understand market rate is about $250... but its really hard to get that price...

If one is selling for $300 I'll be more than happy to buy it already...

Hi ,

I was offered USD360 for a NOS 25-295-C2 crystal form my 16610LV.

Is it a reasonable price?

I came across a similiar thread on the pros and cons of V2 vs V3 subs and also on TW

anyone can assist on that link?

Many thanks!

BK said the TW will take the gen bezel, but it won't turn.

Slight correcton - The TW will take a Gen Bezel but you need to install a Gen crystal retaining ring as well..

Just email him for some spare part as well...

WM9 factory is closed. You have to wait for a used watch to be for sale from a private member.

I would look at BK's current offering Submariner, as it is also very good.

I heard from BK that for a TW case, if you want to install a Gen insert it has to go along with a Gen crustal in order to maintain the ' Height'... Or I can just install the Gen insert with the Clark?

Any comment on that?

Many thanks!

IMHO , a Gen crystal, insert and crown , maybe superlume the markers and hands/wait for BK's latest dial, those mods could get you a very ideal sub
