homecd Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 Recently, I was able to get a BK V2 from the other member here. I tried GEN a couple of times at my local AD. I feel like BK V2 is heavier than the GEN. Is it true? I am not sure about this. Any comments from other members?
praetor Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 unless you can detect the difference in 3-5 grams, I doubt it.
Jkay Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 Doesnt the WM9 v2 sub use a tiny ladies movement with a huge stilty ring? that could be why it's heavier. Not that I know for certain it's heavier ...
Whatever123 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 I thought they use this tiny movement and the movement ring to get the weight exactly like the gen?! Can't believe it's really heavier...
alligoat Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 unless you can detect the difference in 3-5 grams, I doubt it. Why would you even obsess about something so trivial? The BK WM9 V2 is an excellent rep, try to enjoy it. And good luck with getting a handle on your OCD- I wish you the best.
praetor Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 Yea I have a bit of OCD, but watch weight isn't one of them. But I believe it's either due to the extra links or the placebo effect. You expect expensive watches to be "heavier" so thus, when you knowingly try a gen, it's heavier.
yaron Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 I have a modded WM9 V1 (V2 dial and hands, clark crystal, WM insert etc.) and it is heavier than the gen (compared side by side with a friend who owns a gen sub), because the V1 bracelet is heavier.
alligoat Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 Unless someone has a scale and wants to actually weight the watches, this discussion is pretty much pointless. I have a gen 16800, actually I have two of them, and I can't tell the difference between them and my ETZ 16610. And if you hold one watch in one hand and the other in the other hand, and think you can tell the difference, that's total BS. So someone needs to get a scale- maybe a good one like the drug dealers use- a triple beam. Or better yet, get on drugs, get a life and straighten up! These subs reps are so good- WM9, ETZ/MBW 16610, TWB, why would anyone worry about the weight?
highoeyazmuhudee Posted October 5, 2010 Report Posted October 5, 2010 wouldnt worry about it, theres more prevalent visual flaws to fret over... always.
d-rock Posted October 5, 2010 Report Posted October 5, 2010 I recently acquired one of these myself (along with a v3) and I think they're great reps. I'm not certain of the weight compared to a gen but that aspect doesn't really concern me. I would, however, like to get lucky enough to locate another one for a gift idea I've came up with. Enjoy the v2....it's a very good sub rep. Congrats on your getting one.
