WM9 on his site, together with the first WM9 sub, used to sell all the other standard reps available from Joshua/Andrew/PT ecc.. I bought a ladies dj from him.
So it might be, but the same we have already seen
I asked Yuki if the date issues have been correct with a second run but I just got this answer:
"Sorry they are still same version and one lots of production.
Thank you.

It is ok on RRR Subs, not on others.
I agree it's cool but it's like putting a luminova insert dial and hands or a SEL bracelet on a tritium sub.
On gens it would kill the watch walue. Lke a service LEC crystal does if mountes on a no LEC serial.
I mean, they are not wrong as Rolex changed the shape over the years. But TC's cas has different CG even if the lugs look TC's.
Just as an example, pointed CG from a 2003 Sub:
This is 16800 ST case right? In that case I would go for the 16800 route as the reahut is different from the 3135 case.
Just add a PT bracelet with 593 endlinks (either aftermarket or gen) and if you want to invest money a gen clasp, and you'll have a damn good bracelet.
Gen gasket is not 3mm, it's 2.7mm for a 16610, maybe that's why it sits too high. For a 16800 it could also be 2.5 (2mm crystal with 2.5 gasket or 1.8 crystal and 2.7 gasket), but definetely not 3mm.
I've dealt with ponycar and he is OK. DavidSW has beautiful watches but also very expensive. I wanted to buy a Tudor Black bay he has FS and he asked 5175$ when the retail price is 3400$! and can be easily found with a good discount from AD's
Dial could be 16800-16610 up to 1998 U series (included)
Insert seems luminova so it could be 16610 A-Y series (1999-2004). If it's tritium, same of above.
Flat 4 insert can be either tritium (16800 and 16610 up to around 1999) or luminova (1999-2000 dial SWISS and 2001-2003 SWISS MADE dial, SEL and lugholes cases)
From 2004 with no holes cases it's pointed 4 and lumi of course.
Service inserts are pointed 4 only
the movement in your pic does not have the seadweller DWO, but a wrong open '6 and '9 vintage DWO.
I would swap in order DWO, bracelet, and if you have budget also the case with TC's parts.
Crystal, crown, insert and dial would fit, movement 2824-2 probaly yes. BK case is not bad anyway, I would keep it.
