reganecr Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 http://prowatch-polo.com/showpic.asp?ArticleID=570 im thinking of purchasing it wit hthe swiss eta movement just want to know if its as good as wm9's and if its a trustworthy site thanks guys!
alligoat Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 No. It's a different watch. It's a Basel 2008 Sub with the ceramic bezel insert in stainless steel- it's really a fantasy model since Rolex won't make that watch till next year. 2008 saw the 116618- blue dial and bezel in YG and the 116619- blue dial and bezel in WG. This year is TT and next year is ss. But it's not a bad watch, but not on the level of the WM9v2 in terms of accuracy since Rolex doesn't make it yet. Prowatch has the WM9v1 though, not a bad deal.

reganecr Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Posted July 8, 2009 has any 1 had any experiances with that site?
alligoat Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Prowatch-Polo has just been approved as a dealer here, so he must have gone thru all of the checks and be legit. The $328 WM9v1 sub that prowatch sells is really still a very good rep- trim the crown guards and you'd be set to go. You can add other gen parts as you see fit. But I'm not sure about the eta movt being swiss- I'd figure it as a clone, but it's still not a bad deal.
Jkay Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 31 jewels?? Are there 6 extra rolling around free in the case? Like a Happy Sport!?
highoeyazmuhudee Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 I have to say I purchased this case set from PROWATCh POLO. the crown tube is like the noobmariner AS IS the bezel assembly. after removing the bezel ring it was constructed like a noobmariner with the teeth forged out of the bottom of the bezel ring and 3 points of click around the case base. Which means NO 1:1 gen construction or interchangeable parts. UNLESS wm9v1 is like this, this ISNT wm9V1, its a super noob, and severly screws up my modding plans.
daanv Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 bi-directional rotation on the bezel? how can that be on a divers watch?
highoeyazmuhudee Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 UNI directional AND a GEN crown doesnt fit. 16610 is NOT 1:1
