I think I found tc/wm9 selling in second hand shop in Hk

[Erict719]

Walking to a few famous big shop in Hk today..

I saw a few sub which obviously have green hub on their dial , which some of them don't .. And not suppose to in gen world .

I wonder if they dare to sell rep in the shop..

they green hub is the first thing I look for in rep

[highoeyazmuhudee]

wouldnt be surprised, ive seen mismatched any parts on vintage subs in all the HK shops i go to.

[Erict719]

how do they dare to sell.... and no one find out?

Hey Eric, which watch shop did you go to?

And are you very sure it's a WM9/TC?

Hmm does it mean that the watch shop got conned by the previous owner or the watch shop themselves sell it on purpose? Because usually 2nd hand watch shops in HK sell 100% gens it's pretty impossible for them to sell reps or they would go out of business instantly

like I said, I guess only .

but you know when gen and franken rep put side by side, we can always tell from the dial lume. rep have green hub, gen is pure white.

I don't know if they just sell or from previous owner.

Some of the early 16610LV had a slightly green hue to their dial when not glowing.

no sateel that's not what we are saying, is when the lume is uncharged under daylight condition.

the lume should be pure white on gen, but as you see our rep, they all have a greenish hub

the green hub I saw is on 16610lv as you said, not on black sub.

however as review, mark 1 is first 16610lv dial, but it doesn't seems to have green hub.

also, as for even L or K black sub doesn't have green hub.
