Erict719 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 how do they dare to sell.... and no one find out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackyh Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erict719 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red series 3 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Some of the early 16610LV had a slightly green hue to their dial when not glowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Ice never seen a gen rollie with greenish lume, not even alittle. These are gen Mike, and looks green to me.. Edited March 23, 2013 by SSTEEL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erict719 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erict719 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Some of the early 16610LV had a slightly green hue to their dial when not glowing. 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.
