reganecr Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 well the gen's pearls outline stands allot more then the rep's and yours doesnt stand out as much as the left 1 soooo that wher ei got my asumption from
BROM Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 I notice that the marker lines at 5,10,15,20,25, and so on seem more defined on the watch on the left
JoJo35 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Sorry B, you need to do some work to that WM9, almost everyone spotted it as an easy fake The one on the left is a very nice older sub, he should be proud to wear it
vlydog Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Posted August 27, 2009 Sorry B, you need to do some work to that WM9, almost everyone spotted it as an easy fake Come on B, what would you suggest I do? ...a man's gotta eat you know.
dluddy Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 This thread reminds me of why I like to mod Panerai's Rolex's are too much work
vlydog Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Posted August 27, 2009 This thread reminds me of why I like to mod Panerai's Rolex's are too much work So after a gen insert, gen crystal, crown, tube and TW's best bracelet; what's next? Bezel assembly? What can be done without buying additional gen parts?
Jkay Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 So after a gen insert, crown, tube and TW's best bracelet; what's next? Bezel assembly? What can be done without buying additional gen parts? Is the big endlink gap incurable?
vlydog Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Posted August 27, 2009 Is the big endlink gap incurable? Is my gap really that bad?
HauteHippie Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Is my gap really that bad? The first thing my eyes were drawn to on the WM9 were the bulky CGs and the honkin crown... they were a quick give away. I'd say the CGs need modding on the outer surfaces to get them right.
ShawnBeever Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Why bother to spend more, this just demonstrates that even the very best rep is only similar to the gen and won’t fool people who know what they are looking when viewed side by side. But I’m sure your watch would fool 100% of the people you meet every day as it is now or weather you mod it further.
vlydog Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Posted August 27, 2009 The first thing my eyes were drawn to on the WM9 were the bulky CGs and the honkin crown... they were a quick give away. I'd say the CGs need modding on the outer surfaces to get them right. OK, the CG are a good call; thank you B. but the crown is gen.
vlydog Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Posted August 27, 2009 OK, the CG are a good call; thank you B. but the crown is gen. Does anyone have a good clear profile picture of a gen 16610 that shows the crown and CG? Thanks
HauteHippie Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 OK, the CG are a good call; thank you B. but the crown is gen. You sure about the crown - I mean did it come in sealed Rolex packaging? It looks big in that pic. Or it could be the CGs are a little short. Hard to tell. But something looks off there. Maybe it's me!
HauteHippie Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Some ebay pics... (BTW it looks like the WM9 date mag is slightly weak also - but next you'll tell me it's a gen crystal )
vlydog Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Posted August 27, 2009 Thank you B for the photos; very kind of you! yes it is a gen crystal
P4GTR Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 OK, the CG are a good call; thank you B. but the crown is gen. See? Even we go back and forth. Ask yourself why you really care? The 1% of the general public that are interested usually notice one of two things. The hand sweeps, which is a good thing, and/or the bracelet feels flimsy, which is (in their mind) a giveaway. People simply dont know. Those that do, are people like us, and we aren't going to be fooled. Are we at a certain point then trying to fool ourselves? I've got a ETA classic (wok) sub. My first rep. Its unmodded, and I love it. its made me want a gen very much. What we consider crap, most would be shocked to believe is a rep.

Pugwash Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 For instance (for fun) let's see how many can tell me what's wrong with this watch: I can. It's got gold parts. Oh, you didn't mean aesthetically wrong?
HauteHippie Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 I can. It's got gold parts. Yellow gold, to be specific.
JoJo35 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 Yellow gold, to be specific. mmm... the beauty of 18k
Pugwash Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 mmm... the beauty of 18k Or lack thereof.
Toadtorrent Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 I can. It's got gold parts. Oh, you didn't mean aesthetically wrong? Hah hah. Too funny. I did get the quiz right, but being a Noob, wasn't confident in my decision to post. Really...I did get it right. I'm serious.
Pugwash Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 Hah hah. Too funny. I don't like insulting people's watches, apart from in two circumstances: 1 - It's funny. 2 - It's a Hublot.
