apowers Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I'm planning to buy a gen SD. But I appreciate to have a real try before letting such an amount go. Real try, means longer than 1 minute at the AD... So I'd like to find a rep for couple of month (the gen would be bought for chrismas), as close as the gen. I know there are 2 versions : V1, and V2. I know WM9 is making what should be the ultimate rep of this watch, but it'll be released when I'll buy my Gen (if I do) Is there sellers who are selling better Sea dweller than the V2 ?

Member X Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 AFAIK the WM9 V1 and V2 is the Sub, not the SD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I think he's referring to the SSD V1 and V2 Personally, if you're merely looking for a piece to test drive to try and determine whether the gen is really for you, either should be sufficient for at least providing a basis regarding how the watch will wear. That's the important thing if you're concerned about comfort. Otherwise, none of the reps will truly give you a good idea for the fine details and characteristics that the gen has. They all have their faults and the rep will not provide the full experience that the gen has to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosnik Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I vote for PreciousTime Supreme SD 16600 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apowers Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I think he's referring to the SSD V1 and V2 yes I was. Don't know about the differences between those two.

They all have their faults and the rep will not provide the full experience that the gen has to offer. That's also what I think, any would be fine. But as I know it will be in the sale section pretty soon, I'd rather buy the nicest (apart from the WM9) Does the Supreme from PT has the misaligned date font issue ?

ubiquitous Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Yeah... The ETA based Rolex pieces have a date overlay anyways to reposition the date. You can use a gen datewheel in it's place; essentially just glues right onto the ETA wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casanile Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 My 2 cents... If you order a V1 or V2, order a watchmaterial pearl with it. And as said by rolex experts, do the DW swap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 If you plan on keeping the watch, modding would probably be fine. However, if you plan on getting the watch simply for testing purposes, I would advise against as it may be cost prohibitive; you may end up spending more than you can resell for, especially once the WM9 hits the market.

I won't keep the watch, as if I like if, I'd sell it for the gen. So you're right. I might stick to the basic model, or find one already modified. There is a very nice one in the Fundraiser sales section, but it's probably too expensive for my needs...550 euros means USD775. The DW swap is too hard for my left hands, so will have to live with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
