The Sub.

The APs are seconds at 12 and therefore a problem movement (if I remember correctly??).

The Hublot is just a 'fashion' watch.

Sub = classic ;):tu:

You could add a little extra and get a BK/WM9 YM? ;)

I would probably say WM9 Sub/yachtmaster, or the Hublot G! The HBB is a beautiful watch......well, they both are......

Posted

for me the vote goes to the hublot :D

man after wearing your skyland all day long you will give that sub to your wifey :D

Very gd point my friend.. i used to think my GMT IIc was the perfect size for my wrist... till i put on my Skyland with the Pro II... suddenly 44mm looks made for my wrist and my GMT IIc looked a little subdued..

I love the AP but the seconds at '12 is a shaky movement. And how could you resist the WM9 I wonder...

How much does a gen insert cost for the WM9 anyone? Just want to weigh out all the modding costs for all the watches mentioned.

Shoot BK an email (under BK's watch garage) and he will tell you all his costs....(but Ive PM'd you anyway) ;)

If the budget is $600 then the only option is the WM9 or save for a Gen.

The APROOs and HBB would require a service at minimum and ,preferably, a relume. These would push you over $600.

The WM9 has the added benefit as being clostest to genuine without any modifications.

For $600 get a gen.

There is hardly any rep worth that price. I have not found one yet.

This is what a rep board is all about. It's not about finding a perfect rep. There is no perfect rep.

It's about finding some fun and some friends.

And a good rep from time to time.

The first thing that hit me was IV.

Otherwise it has a nice clean white dial just like a longines presence i had but sold not long ago.

As far as I know (and have seen), all watches and clocks with Roman numerals use 'IIII' instead of 'IV'. There are several theories as to why that is so.

Ordinarily, I'd tell you to get the WM9, but some of those Orises (esp. the Big Crowns) are pretty nice, and can be found -used- at that price.

Well.. just an update.

Since 58% voted for a BK WM9 V3.. i listened to the masses, did my homework and got myself a WM9 V2! Woop!

Now i have $100 remainder for gen crown/tube... or a 295 crystal...

If I pay you $600, could you hold a one-day seminar that explains these steps to me slowly and with PowerPoint slides?
