Guest AspireApex Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share 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 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praetor Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share 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. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_sphere Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HartDoc Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share 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.

irolexu Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valty Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_sphere Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share 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 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devus Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
