King has the same watch, different movement. Pretty sure other dealers carry the same aswell..

Yeah that's the WM9 v1.

Very good Sub.

[rosnik]

The V1 got standard Swiss 2836-2 W.o. engraving.

Same watch and $200 cheaper.......

I wonder if he can get the WM9 Yachtmaster.

IIRC, the V1 lacks the Superlumninova and has a worse crystal as well as not as nice a crown as the V2? What else?

[slickdick]

It also has wrong crown position. Some good points to this sub. Add tons of gen stuff, mod the heck out of it, but still... low crown is one hell of a screaming giveaway.

"screaming giveaway"?

Isn't that a bit exaggerated... I mean maybe 1 out of 10 RWG members would notice it?

[slickdick]

Yes it is exaggerated.

It could very well be 1 out of 10 RWG members would not even know let aside notice it on the wrist.

However, dealers list it as 1:1 while it's clearly not the case. I think people should be aware of this non moddable issue. And that if one wants to mod it to be as gen as possible is a bit pointless if its based on a fundamentally wrong case.

I do like that movement though. Even if you can't see it. Amazingly close to a gen considering what they have to work with.

gen crown, clarks crystal (maybe insert)and its good to go?
