tabularasa415 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Alright, I love the "name that watch" game. I've played it many times and it always proves entertaining and educational, so I figure it's my turn. Today we're playing with two watches. Both Rolex Submariners. Be very careful, while one may seem obvious, the other is not. That's all I'm going to say. On to the game! And for the record, I purposefully left out pictures of the coronet on the outside of the clasps. I provided shots of the inside and the side views of the clasps in substitution because I personally think that knowing what those look like is a better means of identifying clasps and bracelets. (I can't make it too easy ) First, a side by side comparison: Watch #1 And now, on to watch #2 Oh, and I'm glad this project finally gave me an excuse to use my Rolex brand cotton gloves So, let the guessing begin. I'm anxious to hear what everyone thinks they see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superlative Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Are supposed to guess which one is gen and which is rep? If so, 1 is the rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 The first one looks like a M092117 noobmariner, and the second one might be a Wm9 v2.5 or somewhere between a 2 and a 3. The crown guards on the second are a tad overshaved- too much gap in one of the pics. The dial looks like the WM9- maybe a little bit of puffiness on the lumed markers.

tabularasa415 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Yes on the noob, although I did fit it with a TW best bracelet with much better end links. No on your guess for the second watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Noob and a TW best, it looks like. EDITED TO ADD: And not a BK TW best I don't think, which means it's probably a PT Supreme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabularasa415 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 It IS a bk tw best with gen crown, insert, crystal and I sourced a gen 93250 clasp for it as well. :-) I'll do a full review shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
