  1. Precious Watch Company on RG is selling it.
  2. Thanks guys. The date fonts suck big time. I look at the fonts and think "21J Asian." If the dealer doesn't fix it I'm selling it. It was supposed to be the exact same watch from the same factory as this one: THAT'S the date font I was expecting.
  3. Welcome Tom from Central San Joaquin Valley.
  4. Nice ensemble, Omni. Love that pen.
  5. This is real? I didn't know Rolex had released a watch like this. Hmmm.....
  6. I received this watch today. The date font didn't look like ETA date fonts. They look too wide and too thin. Any opinions?
  7. BK's GMTs are the best: You can get them with up to 3 interchangeable bezels: black, Pepsi, and Coke. All mods done by BK.
  8. Here's my BKmariner: My $100 Noob: BK's was the best until the WM9. IMO.
  9. You might be right. There appears to be a tiny difference in the crown guards. It might also be the way light reflects off the metal. Can't be seen by the naked eye. 2 other observations: 1) I can't hear the rotor at all. Might be because the movement is tiny, but it's silent. 2) It might have been mentioned elsewhere, but there's no etched crown on the crystal.
  10. Some women's Rollies are quite ice.
  11. I don't care for the thicker bezel fonts.
  12. I've done this to both my Subs. No more rattle. Very velvety touch and nice sheen to the steel. Easy to do. Highly recommended!
  13. I received my WM9 Sub on Monday, or Tuesday. I forget. Maybe last week. Anyway. It's an outstanding replica. The bracelet finish is the best I've ever had. I used the P4GR method to clean, lube, and wax it. It entails using a product made for bicycle chains. You squirt a bunch of it on the bracelet, work it into the links, and let it dry for 10 or so minutes. Then wash with soap and water and buff dry. All kinds of black rep factory gunk came off and it looks great. Water beads up on it. No rattle. My only complaint with the bracelet is the clasp. The diver's extension pops up making the edge of the clasp stick up. No good because the steel is sharp. I've had to bend the extension a little to get it to lie down. If it keeps being problematic I'm going to email George. It winds like a gen. Date fonts are nicely centered. I think the crown tube was installed correctly as it doesn't appear to be straight to me. Crown guards are nice (I think--I'm not that fussy about crown guards). It's my first watch with Superluminova. Comparing it with my Deep Sea and the recent LV Sub I got from asian7750.com, it lumes brighter at the start and stays brighter through the night. The other two watches stay well lumed all night, though--excellent for reps. The pics: Nice crown guards. Nice brushed steel. The treatment gives it a shimmer in person. The dial is beautifully done! Case back. Clasp and coronet. A beautiful watch! My 2 Subs. Another full frontal. Wrist shot.
  14. I like the V3 best. I have an Asian ETA clone model and so far it's keeping COSC time. As so few people have ever seen this watch in the "real world," it's authenticity will likely never be questioned.
  15. I tried the BBK w/a suit once. I didn't think it worked but a lot of guys thought it did.
  16. A blast from the past! I'm wearing my WM9 Sub V2 and loving it. Now the credit card processing is done through Las Vegas but the watches are still shipped out of Taiwan. They ship from someone with your own last name and include a "happy birthday" card.
  17. Chris Farley rolls over in his grave... I've bought from asian7750.com. They use factory photos. Tony is the guy behind the site. He ships almost as fast as Josh, claims to keep and "test" the watch for 24 hours, takes PayPal, and communication is better than most but not as good as Josh's. Those "Razy Sales," though. Good deals can be had there.
  18. Or as quiet as the wife after 20+ years of marriage? Just got my WM9 V2 and I think I'll pick up a can of this on the way home. Thanks for the tip!
  19. Here is the thread: http://www.rwg.cc/members/Ultimate-tone-fu...tml&hl=gold Gold printing on the dial: Black dial looks more correct?
