Hi Rolex experts 

What do you think of this LV  ?  What are the flaws ? 

Thanks

Good? Depends what you compare it to.

 

Compared to WM9 or TC it's very weak rep.

 

If it's a cheap one (under $100) it's ok.

 

Good:

Nice dial

Nice datemag (correctly positioned)

 

Bad:

Awful SELs

Oversized crown

Not-so-good crown guards

Really weird looking crystal/rehaut combo

 

 I believe this is the old WM9 from Eddie Lee/River. It was good back in 2004 but times have changed. The best thing about it is the genuine Swiss ETA movement which it (most likely) has.

It's an old version sell by Sead for 159$

 

 

The movement is a clone 2836 

Is it the same for you here ?  http://imgur.com/a/2j9nn

The rehaut wasn't engraved before 2008
