Guest AspireApex Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Where can I get a WM9 v2? If anyone could give me some advice on getting the cheapest, best value Rolex Submariner, I would appreciate it very much. Seems like good reps are going for $450-500 but I do not know the cheaper end of the spectrum and more importantly, if they are any good. I plan to wear this watch around everyday (beater) but at the same time, I don't want people to notice it as fake. Thank you so much.
sneed12 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 You can't buy a WM9 v2 for $450-500 anymore. Used ones are going for $8-900. There is one for sale at repgeek right now.
praetor Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 I thought I had it bad when i bought mine a year ago for $550. but that was 30 days before wm9 went AWOL. .
blue_sphere Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 Just go for the TW best by BK mate. A lot of the "improvements" in the wm9 are even better on the BK. I said it once and Ill say it again... the only reason to get a wm9 is to frankenize it to the fullest. A rep wm9 parts imo is not the same quality as the BK TWbest. You get a wm9 for the case construction.
MAHLER Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 $8-900 ??? uhm, does not convince me to sell my WM9v2 ... nono, and no no
HartDoc Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 I prefer to frankenize a watch. but you need a great base to start with Just go for the TW best by BK mate. A lot of the "improvements" in the wm9 are even better on the BK. I said it once and Ill say it again... the only reason to get a wm9 is to frankenize it to the fullest.

irolexu Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 TW best is a great start for a franken project I have gen insert and crystal coming in then gen tube and crown and how amazing it will look PRICELESS
Valty Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 the only reason to get a wm9 is to frankenize it to the fullest. I cannot agree more WM9 are hard to get, but when you have put gen crystal / tube / crown / pearl or insert... It's the closer you can get than a gen ! You just have to expect spending something like 1000 EUR for all these things...
blue_sphere Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 No that's the problem. On repgeek these are going for $800-900 COMPLETELY UNMODDED. The sellers are just taking advantage of new members. While the new people should study more, I am really surprised that the administration is letting the inflation go so high.
Valty Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 Yes I know, $800 = 600 EUR these days, and the required mods are costing something like 400 EUR I bet Note that I paid the premium price here too
praetor Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 you'd be surprised how much people will pay for stuff. Remember LH PAM111 selling for 1k?
rosnik Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 I got here one friend's Wm9 with Gen Insert and Gen Crown for 1020$ on sale..
blue_sphere Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 Its much more than $400 for gen parts, in addition to the work required to replace them all.
Tribal Posted December 13, 2011 Report Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) Wait a while, than you can get a WM9 V3 with Eta from me I just build and mod this one, still waiting for some Parts. Edited December 13, 2011 by Tribal
Tribal Posted December 13, 2011 Report Posted December 13, 2011 Yepp I have a stripped V3 Case laying around. Also Bracelet, V3 Dial with SL like indices and Hands. BK DWO is in the pipeline and some gen Parts.
Star69 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) looks like a few TW-Bests are available at Puretime - like this : http://puretimewatch...w-best-eta2836/ in ultra bling bling .... i hope he will stock the normal Sub too - he has already the YM ... sadly also a watch i cant wear cheers, Frank Edited December 13, 2011 by Star69
Tribal Posted December 13, 2011 Report Posted December 13, 2011 Was this V3 riginal by Wm9 factory? Yepp
devus Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 Why don't they make a general sub case at a low orice that will take gen parts. All that reading is a bit to much.

Ephry73 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 Anything less than that and you'll regret it.
