z80 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I just got this in the mail yesterday. It started as a WM9 or PT V1 with the flat S dial. It was serviced and the dial Dial was relumed (Domi) and CG's modded, and BK's custom crown was installed (Was told by BK). I bought it as having a gen insert/pearl, but I think the insert is from a 16800 as it's flat black. The gen pearl looks incredible. Opinions?

TgfRulez Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Install a Clark crystal and an hollow link Noob bracelet (mantaining the WM Clasp) and it would be perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 ... the insert is from a 16800 as it's flat black. ... There is no specific 16800 / 16610 insert, both use the same part number. If it has a SL pearl it is 16610, if it has a tritium pearl it can be from either 16800, 168000 or 16610. Very nice watch, I am building one myself these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgn_vn Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Why clark crystal is it better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosnik Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Nice 16610! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Why clark crystal is it better? I would not swap for a clarks crystal. The V1 crystal is probably as good as it gets with a rep crystal and to be honest I found the gen crystal not much of an improvement. The etched coronet was very well done on my V1, the crystal dimensions were correct and the quality is very good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takosan Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Did yours had the engraved rehaut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Yes, but I removed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flex Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 why the v1 crystal? but the etched coronet on the crystal is the quick tell here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z80 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Lume shot: Also, the etched crown is about the best I've seen on a rep. Compared to the SSD it's nearly invisible. Stands out more in the pic than in real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klocklind1 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Nice sub You there ! I will get my WM9 V1 with the flat S dial( without engraved rehaut!) next week from PT. It sure is one of the best subs made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takosan Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 @Klocklind1: Are you sure that your v1 from PT will not have the engraved rehaut? Because as far as i know the non engraved rehaut is not available any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 @Klocklind1: Are you sure that your v1 from PT will not have the engraved rehaut? Because as far as i know the non engraved rehaut is not available any more. Maybe new batch, maybe old stock. Who knows in rep land. Want to be shure? contact PT.

Yes I am 100 % sure as I already got the pictures of the actual watch I will get It looks exactly like the sub supreme he has on his website but without the engraved rehaut, and comes with the nice decorated SWISS eta 2836-2 ( not a asian clone eta!) But he only got 10 watches totally without the engraved rehaut But pm him if we can get more of them It is a VERY nice sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z80 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I wanted to try something different and something that strays from the "as gen as possible" thought... I put an SSD bracelet on the Sub. I never really liked that the sides of the Sub were polished but the sides of the bracelet were brushed. This made the bracelet look even cheaper than it actually is (and gen Sub bracelets do look kind of cheap). Anyway, here it is. ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
