jmarin.72 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 Just got home and found a package waiting for me Knowing what it was in there i got excited and ripped the damn envelope apart Well gents here it is,still fresh and wrapped in protective plastic....BK V3 SUB SEL look good,lume is magnificent and generaly the whole construction is solid and heavy,very gen like. I will take some more shots later when i remove the plastic wrap and size the bracelet. BTW watch was shipped on Jan 22 and arrived today,very fast delivery for a US TO EU shipping. BK is a real gentleman and every deal i have made with him was a delight
ubiquitous Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 Looks great, buddy! Makes me miss my V1 though...
jmarin.72 Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Posted January 26, 2010 Well R it is one heck of a watch,that's for sure,but the bracelet definately needs to be soaked into oil. It feels pretty stiff,nothing that can't be fixed of course. BTW Domi send me photos of my finished 3789 it rocks mate
tomhorn Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 My LV just arrived yesterday, and it was very hard to take the time to take pictures of it before sizing and putting it on my wrist ... I gave my bracelet a good cleaning and a bath in White Lightning Clean Ride (dry bike lubricant) and it hasn't left the wrist since. Enjoy!
jmarin.72 Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Posted January 26, 2010 Thanks T,i saw your pictorial mate,nice work dude Yes i agree that the bracelet needs an oil bath,other than that it is a superb replica
chefcook Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 Looks great, buddy! Makes me miss my V1 though... Me too
deniz21 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 nice watch bro, man this bk wm9 watches are so nice.... its not out yet, but i know i will love the seadweller and i start collecting money to buy me this thing this year
renegade Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 Nice !!! being new on the site and looking for my first REP, i dont mean to sound stupid ( although some would disagree) but who is BK? Is he a dealer and if so is there a web site?
ubiquitous Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 Nice !!! being new on the site and looking for my first REP, i dont mean to sound stupid ( although some would disagree) but who is BK? Is he a dealer and if so is there a web site? Have a look here...
jchurch Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 Nice !!! being new on the site and looking for my first REP, i dont mean to sound stupid ( although some would disagree) but who is BK? Is he a dealer and if so is there a web site? Check in the dealer section on the site. The watches from him always look amazing but the price is also pretty steep.
OSRep Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 Hey jmarin! I can not add to all the great things which have been said about WM9/BK watches. So congrats on your V3 mate. Looks stunning, even wrapped in plastic......
rolexer Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 I so wish I had one! I would love to do a GEN vs. REP review. I have a M-series new gen, and would really like to compare these two. Anyone want to send me their piece so I could do the review ? rolexer
klocklind1 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 I love mine V3 The only thing that must be done is to sand down the sharp edges of the bracelet, BK has a thread about how to do it using 600 emerald paper and a toothpick. It really makes the bracelet feel MUCH better. Be careful to sand the edges at about 45 degrees ALL the time so You do not have to sand the side-edges also! Good luck with Your V3 and wear it well
Greystash Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 You are going to post more pics of this I hope. Congratulations jmarin.72, that's a cracker. The pearl even looks good. I just don't see how anyone could pick that while you were wearing it. Thanks for sharing.
1watching2 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 Looks great. Congrats on a great watch. What method/oil do you use to soak the bracelet? I also heard about toothpaste/brushing it? I have a bk gmt transformer inbound and v3 in a couple more weeks. I can't wait to get them. His work looks amazing. Thanks
vlydog Posted January 26, 2010 Report Posted January 26, 2010 I swear by the P4GTR method. LOOK HERE:
1watching2 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Posted January 27, 2010 I swear by the P4GTR method. LOOK HERE: thanks, I'll have to try a bike store near me.
jmarin.72 Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Posted January 27, 2010 Thanks for your comments guys,i think BK deserves all the credit for this one!!!!I always use olive oil to soak the bracelets in and works all the time But next time i will try the P4GTR method I must say that after the oil bath the v3 bracelet feels great!!!i also used cape cod to give it a shine and now it is on my wrist,feels very gen like to me heavy,solid and the SELs are very nicely fitted as well. I will post pics 2nite after i get back from work. BTW the pearl is very good and i really cannot detect a difference visible to the naked eye.Macro shots tend to enhance such undetectable minor differences thats for sure,but to the naked eye they simply are not there,period
mjmj Posted January 27, 2010 Report Posted January 27, 2010 I am waiting patiently for mine to arrive but all of your pics are causing me undue excitement. I really can't wait for my V3 to arrive. I've got a few more weeks I think. It looks fantastic!
Dr.Verylong Posted January 27, 2010 Report Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) You can use baby oil to soak the bracelet. Fakemaster described that method on RWI and the added advantage is that it will not irritate your skin. Edited January 27, 2010 by Dr.Verylong
