danielv2000 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 With the recent prices for WM9 Subs on the rise, has anyone done a comparison to BK's TW best sub? Curious as to the differences and the pros and cons of each. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 wm9 is better. super lume, engravings, and cgs alone, even the bracelet is correctly hollow and unstamped at the end link. the tw is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I have owned and reviewed both. Keep in mind that v1 came out much earlier, and the one I reviewed was the base watch. Not quite sure what mods BK performs for them. WM9 v1 Sub (aka TW Best) WM9 v2 Sub WM9 v2 is superior in every sense, besides the bracelet SELs (which are superior on v1). Best possible combo: v2 with v1 SELs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielv2000 Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 By-Tor, thanks. I have re-read your reviews many times since joining this wonderful community. I had not realized the WM9 v1 was a TW Best. I believe the new BK offering offers the super-Lume option and he does shave the CGS. He acknowledges in his offering the solid mid links which I guess one could live with or just swap out the bracelet. Thanks.this clears things up a whole lot!

mrboombasteke Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I had not realized the WM9 v1 was a TW Best. Did not know this either. Good info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonio_fr Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Best possible combo: v2 with v1 SELs. I already heard about this but I do not remember it is explained somewhere on this forum. Would you mine sharing how solid endlinks can be swapped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polexpete Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 I already heard about this but I do not remember it is explained somewhere on this forum. Would you mine sharing how solid endlinks can be swapped? Can be done at home but you need the correct tools otherwise you damage the links. I would just take the bracelet to a local watchmaker, he will change in a few mins for a few pennies i'm sure.... Cheers P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
