slickdick Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Not a fan of the engraving but Looking really nice... How's the crown position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Crown position is pretty good and not really noticable to the eye. Engraving has grown on me and shows up much less in reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Looks great, but would prefer without the engraving as well. But overall, very very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 PT's new Sub or WM9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 ....or Euromariner? come on what is it? Nice looking Sub but I prefer no engravings on the Rehaut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 To elaborate a little more this is the Precioustime Supreme edition watch which is based on the yet unreleased M serial WM9 watch with an eta2836 so I'm told. Everything on the watch is stock apart from the Bezel/insert assembly which did fit on the rep base and really makes a big difference in reality as the teeth are so beautifully cut compared to the rep bezel. Also the crystal is a genuine 295c so no more horrid etched crown. This crystal does have a crown but only visible with a loupe. The CG's only needed a very small amount of tweaking and the overall finish is better than my previous WM9 Sub. I can say having received a Euromariner last week too that the case is NOT the same in any shape or form plus this one is different even from the non engraved WM9. I still have a WM9 case that went wrong during the drilling out for a gen crown tube(say no more - live and learn!). No need to replace the crown on this , it's 99% perfect. The rehaut is definately thicker when looking straight on and is practically vertical too. Dial is better although not perfect and not superlumed but the lume is decent for a rep.

slickdick Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 So the plot thickens... Was it an aftermarket or gen bezel assembly which fitted straight on the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star69 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Sorry, it was a genuine bezel/insert which cost me some blood and sweat on Ebay last week!!!! Are you hoping I will sell!!! - no i ordered it already from PT. the engravings really look good - is there really an m-serial on the case ? i was planning to remove the engravings - but if there is also an correct m# ? maybe i keep them. cheers, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for posting some photos on PT's Supreme Edition. I've been waiting to see it outside of the photos from the dealer's site. So how would you rate this watch?

Omega Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Very nice Sub my friend... ...someone wants to buy my modded MBW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 sub looks very nice. CGs still need doing...but not as much as the MBK which actually looks perfect *IF* you turn the watch upside down : ). i dont even notice the engraving on my euromariner with out careful looking... only problem with the engracing is then your watch is expected to have certain other specifics from that model year... the noob dial is incorrect for the 2008 engraved model, and the bezel insert numeral "4" must be pointed instead of the flat roof one. with out the engraving it leaves what year your sub is open to interpertation. that clasp does look a lot better than the noobs... your dial is correct in the fact that the minute markers around swiss made are taller on either side for that model year.... the Zubmariner line of text im not so sure is correct... still very nice looking, ill have to get my hands on one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgchrono2 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 i was planning to buy this Supreme Edition of SUB as well as the GMT II Ceramic. Finally i bought this one (see photo) which is a combination of these 2 models Its a ''fantasy'' model BUT i like it very much. I did not plan to pass it as a genuine to anyone & i dont care for ''flaws'' of Replicas......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velasco Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Now I'm confused... Is the M-serial suppose to have the flat "S"? I have always associated the flat S with the Z-serial (year 2007)... Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Now I'm confused... Is the M-serial suppose to have the flat "S"? I have always associated the flat S with the Z-serial (year 2007)... Am I missing something? No rhyme or reason to the flat S. Some have it; some do not. Some are older 16610's or even 16800/0's, some are more recent serial prod... As with anything Rolex, there is nothing definitive as to why this is the case This is all with regards to genuine, BTW... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
