BROM Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo35 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share 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.

vlydog Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 So after a gen insert, crown, tube and TW's best bracelet; what's next? Bezel assembly?

vlydog Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Is the big endlink gap incurable? Is my gap really that bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share 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 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vlydog Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share 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 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Thank you B for the photos; very kind of you! yes it is a gen crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 So who has the best Sub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I can. It's got gold parts. Yellow gold, to be specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
