sander Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Quite some time I'm looking for a good 16610 case. This could be an option..... I'm only confused abou the rehaut. Since I'm not a Rolex expert, it seems to me that the rehaut is way too wide? See pic of what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eiderdaus Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 what you see is the caseback bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Rehaut seems a little wide indeed, but might be the pic. Here is case from Sean, nice case, still some wrongness in it (m serial, no exgraved rehaut and lugholes) But with all cases, what matters most is price. Sean will want 350-500 usd depending on who is asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 More interested in the Yachtmaster, looks spot on to me, just like WM9's case.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasf2002 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 whats so different now to the other projects ? and why should a noob dial a bit too small ? Did you received the inner case diameter already ? Not saying it's different just that the case needs to be pretty cheap to as there are loads of parts needed to complete. Size wise - certainly on my sub supreme the dial is bigger than a noob dial - I.e. If you put the noob dial in the case you need to align it and the markers do not go right up to the rehaut. If this case is the same size then that is a consideration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiman12 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 http://www.etaswiss.net @Mickey Sean also has a yachty case set http://www.etaswiss....p?image_id=3930 Note, Sean is not a approved dealer, but he has been around for long, long time. BINGO! Yup sean. The rehaut nice an straight, definitely not wokky, case back is fine its the effect of the pics and I'm just a crappy photographer. IMO, the closest I've seen to a gen and this includes a WM9 (yes...I've owned 2) comes with the complete case set (case/dial/bracelet/crown)...so...the price he is asking is reasonable to me compared to a owning a WM9. The sub actually has a gen crown on it. I some how lost the original one when I was unpacking the case I don't know if there are different generations of the Yachtmaster bezel, but based on gen pics, Sean's bezel is also closer to gen than WM9 Sorry WM9 guys, but I think that these cases are more accurate in many ways. Once I get the other parts and put it all together, I'll do another photo shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiman12 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 @ jasf2002...to further clarify, the noob dial is too big and the WM9 fits (yes...I currently have both in my parts box). But that being said, the dial that is provided with this case set look pretty good to me. But like every good franken, you would probably want to source a gen dial anyway and a gen insert of course. btw highoe...you get second prize for almost nailing the dealer down!

Mickey Padge Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Good info slickdick, thanks! I wonder if these are actually available though? and if a dial can be found of enough quality to match the case...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eiderdaus Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 but as i understood sean the case set for the 16610 will ONLY take 3135 movement ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Dial and hand set is included with the case, however dial and hands fit rolex movement. Regarding WM9 being better/worse, i personally think the YM case is same used bt WM9, as Sean came out with the set at same time wm9 began shipping his YM. On the other hand, parts change all the time for better and worse, see the different caseback for example. What you bought 3 years ago might not be the same as today. @Eiderdaus you can use movement spacer in combo with selita 220 (?) ETA 2824/2892.

highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 btw highoe...you get second prize for almost nailing the dealer down! despite the order in which it was typed i cant remember if i made an educated guess as to sean first or not. anyways my list decoded, as it seems youre ok with revealing the source now. Tswisstime where site owner Henry sells these, has them in stock too http://www.tswisstime.com/swiss_rolex_submariner_replica_watches_page2.html#Rolex%20Super%20Submariner%20Pre-2008%203135%20Clone this one he does not have stock on http://www.tswisstime.com/swiss_rolex_submariner_replica_watches_page2.html#Rolex%20Stainless%20Submariner%2016610%20TW Hontwatch and of course the source: sean at etaswiss, who just sent out a june update today in fact.

Best for you is contact the source directy and shoot sean an email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah - did not realise that you got a dial so thats good. BTW just measured my Noob dial against the sub Supreme flat S dial and the Noob is 1mm smaller - mind you, who knows if all the Noob dials are the same!! Looks a very nice case to start from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 It's ironic... WM9 Sub v2 was finally the answer to our prayers. WM9 disappearance was a conspiracy... now we're hunting the best Sub again. It never ends... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eiderdaus Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 couldn't it just be the case that george comes back to business or that he sold his templates ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 nah, its from Sean, and the factories probably copied the case not buying anything from george. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 This case set has been around a long time but nobody I guess has bothered as a gen movement plus all the other extras needed make it pointless financially. you may as well go and get a 2nd Sub that will be perfect. This kit will still have it's irritating flaws I'm sure! It would be nice to see some better all round member pics of this case set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSlayer Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Is it possible to source a WM9 YM case, dial or bezel insert? I think my current YM houses a 2824-2 movement but I only really want a dial and bezel insert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiman12 Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 More pics...unlike the WM9...the crown, when screwed down, doesn't even come close to touching the bezel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
