auman20 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 Hello, guys. FYI, BK is offering WM9 v3 now. The LV case will be used, so the position of the crown will be higher like a gen, which will be a big improvement. Here is the link for details; http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=88290
ThinkBachs Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 I saw this piece, anyone that orders it will be very impressed with the quality, definitely worth spending a little more for something that needs nothing else to be on the money...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 I always wondered about the wm9 pearls tho. In pics it looks like a dome, how is it in person?
rosnik Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 Impressive the high crown position! 595$ it's right price .

krbarnes Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 Mine is scheduled to be here today. It has been really tough not to discuss this on the board! I'll post pics as soon as it arrives.
rolexmaniac88 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 I always wondered about the wm9 pearls tho. In pics it looks like a dome, how is it in person? I have the same impression, the pearl looks rather odd. However, this replica is just wonderful, like others said here, we reached a stage, the stage were identifying the copy from the original is becoming trickier and trickier. I think about getting one actually but with a beautiful nato !
bklm1234 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 wm9 hasn't upgraded the black insert pearl to be the same as the LV insert pearl (we all know how good that one is). They won't for a long time because they have so many black ones. -bk
Ronin Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 The beauty of these watches is they will take a Genuine Pearl or Insert.
Star69 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 BK would it be somehow possible to make a shot like this from V2 and V3 ..... that would be amazing im not sure if i should upgrade thanks !!! Frank
krbarnes Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 Not quite the same shot, but here's a post in 'BK's Watch Garage' section showing the difference in crown position. WM9 Crown Position
krbarnes Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 Here are a couple of shots of the crown position of my V2 compared to my V3 You can see how the crown is not centered vertically in the crown guards on the V2.
krbarnes Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 Here are a couple of shots of my V3 that arrived on Wednesday.
mec0t0 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 Here are a couple of shots of my V3 that arrived on Wednesday. What a beauty, makes me wanna get a V3 now...
Star69 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 Here are a couple of shots of my V3 that arrived on Wednesday. sexy bi tch ! and thanks for the V2 vs V3 pics .... i took a deep breath and decided to say with V2 so far maybe a gen bezel some time that's my outdated model : cheers, Frank
jmarin.72 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 I think this is the best replication ever for one main reason which is non other than the ability to accept the most important parts(bezel,insert,crystal even a gen 3135!!!)straight on without any kind of modds I have already placed an order!!! (thanks BK,you know why!!!)
nairda Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) After many months of reading I ordered my first rep a WM9 V3! wohoo! Can't wait to get it Edited December 14, 2009 by nairda
cht Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 After many months of reading I ordered my first rep a WM9 V3! wohoo! Can't wait to get it these look great guys! A replacement pearl and you have the ultimate Rolex rep! Very nice! I only wish wm9 would focus on getting the LV's done and shipped out first. Rather than filling and honoring these orders ahead of people who have been waiting patiently for their LV's for almost a year!

I only wish wm9 would focus on getting the LV's done and shipped out first. Rather than filling and honoring these orders ahead of people who have been waiting patiently for their LV's for almost a year! Remember that the people that have ordered the V3 sub:s pay a lot more than the preorder so I think it is quite natural to make some fullpriced V3/LV sub:s before he makes all the (prepaid!) LV:s ready. Also remember that the profit on each watch is not so good on the preorders

krbarnes Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 WM9 doesn't make the V3, so that shouldn't interfere with the LV. The V3 is made solely by BK.

Guest Carl Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Wow, a really good rep sub for $595 that can be improved by..... modding. With gen parts. Say, a calibre 3135 movement, bezel insert, bracelet, etc. for example. After you have two, three, or more likely, four thousand dollars in your rep, what do you have? A rep that cost nearly as much as a good used gen, and it's value is what it's worth parted out. I don't get it. Who can explain the economics of this as a good investment? Or even a good hobby? Carl
