I just picked up the Noob-C from BK. It will be at my house by saturday. I will post some pics when it arrives.

Oh your right.

I agree, I've seen them sell a fake before, and would never buy from them. However, the serial is correct age for a '05. A movement check would answer any questions fast

It also has drilled springbar holes and not crown at 6. which makes this look really fake for a 2005 model

This looks like a fake. What do you guys think? Its definitely not a 2005. The rehaut seem a little off too. They seem like they have a few fakes. Look at their omega listed. The dial spaces look so far apart.

Here's an interesting thread...

That link has alot of interesting info on the 904 steel. Seems like 316l is superior for scratch and corrosion resistance.

I presume you wouldn't be taking the movement out of a gen to swap it into a rep of the same watch??! lol

LOL, yeah then im gonna put the 2824 in the gen so i can really confuse people.

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

ha, some of us have been waiting since early February, and many more since before that, I think.

With the gen movement, will you also need hands, and a datewheel? It'll be nice to see the end result of that.

Thanks fingerlove.

Yeah, if i go that route i will change the whole assembly - movement, dial, hands, and crown. But then again, i may jut pick up a used gen from one of my watch dealers. If i choose to go frankin, ill post the photos and details.

March 2011 you meant right?

Where can you pick up a 3135 for $1200?!?! Best I have seen is around $1700+...

Thanks for your replies.

I come across one for around $1200 before but it not a big deal if i have to pay $1700 for one. I may actually just buy a whole gen seadweller. I almost bought it before but everytime i went watch shopping and tried it on i went home with a different watch. I normally prefer 42mm or larger. However, i love the classic look of the seadweller.

As far as the wait, i have all the time in the world. I just wanted to see the quality of watchmaker 9's watches. Im a gen collector (aquatimer chrono, pam104, nardin maxi marine) but i have one SOSF rep (not very happy as the dial had some strange scratch lines on it and a faint marking). I can't wait to see the seadweller.

I just ordered at WM9 Seadweller. It probably wont be here until March. I am planning to put a 3135 movement in place if i can find one for around $1200. Im pretty pumped and i will post photos once i have it.

After reading all the good reviews of the sub WM9. Where can i buy one? Ive looking on all the dealer sites and nobody seems to sell them. Any help would be appreciated.

ive been gone for a while after i bought a gen iwc aquatimer and a gen panerai. but now im back and wondering which sea dweller is the best.

im in.

which model is that on Trustys site? i would like to order one but im not sure which if which version that is.

Hey Guys, I will be learning how to perform full services on watches soon. I will be working with a local watchsmith. It will take a couple months and several watches before i feel comfortable servicig watches for board members. I will keep you informed. I too will be doing this as a hobby and part time.

TWP i sent an email to you yesterday. Did i get in?

TTK, i would like one too. Im new to this board. How do i order one?
