Star69 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I don't get it. I thought the screw hole in the V2 case would be slightly lower than the V3 case..making the tube and then the crown sit slightly lower. I have a V3 and wouldn't mind doing this mod, but I like the height of the crown in my watch- want to keep it there. its all marketing sadly V2 has the better middle-case .... but nobody will call you out wearing a WM9 1-3 Sub - if you handle it over its a different story cheers, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stilty Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Here are a Gen Z-Series for comparsion The crown position on the genuine article is quite different then on the WM9 case. In this pic, you can see how the case tube is just sitting proud on the top edge of the case. See how the top edge of the mid case is just below the case tube. Anyone have a pic of the V2 or V3 in similar position to make a comparison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtanak Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 You might be right about the tube position.. But if someone had to unscrew the crown to check this to know if its a rep... that'd made my day... Now how can we fit a 3135 into a V2..?

praetor Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) That's a v3, the v2 bezel has its angle (top) slope down too much. Btw, how do you tell if your insert snapped in securely? my gen insert snapped but isn't recessed in the bezel.

gtanak Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Just wondering since the original mvmt in the WM9 V2 is a 2762 or the ladies mvmt... would a 2836-2 fit in the case with the height diff compared to the 2824? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 A 2836 will fit fine with the correct movement ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtanak Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 A 2836 will fit fine with the correct movement ring. Thanks for reply watcher.. any reasons why the 2824 is preferred over the 2836? Transplanting either mvmt will require a fitting mvmt ring as well right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
