alligoat Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Ha! B-T, the dial is an RSC replacement dial- just think of it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im2 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Ha! B-T, the dial is an RSC replacement dial- just think of it that way. Exactly! Don't worry much about mixing different rlx parts.. Lets say you took it over the AD to service it .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebzen02 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Chris this question is for you: when will this new batch be available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvn Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 By-Tor thank you for the wonderful review and your are the Rolex's god Mine arrived from PT yesterday and it is a very nice Sub and i couldn't be happier. I can't wait to get the version 2 from WM9 too when it becomes available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOGIE_1976 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 i was maybe the most hesitant about wm9 site and the quality of the watches he is selling. today i bought the wm9 tt blue sub second hand from RWG member CREED and i must say that i can't find enough words to describe the amazing quality of the watch. i am a huge rolex tt blue sub and have been many times in rolex stores just to see and touch some gens so you can say that i have enough experiance about gen subs. i couldn't be happier with a rep and i think the watch deserves higher price than it costs. thank you wm9,creed and creed's wife (she didn't like the watch and thats why he sold it to me) for this awesome watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyskate Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) Just wanted to say, I got my PT sub yesterday...... Thanks PT! Also, arrived in 6 days from UK to the states, just fantastic! Edited October 18, 2008 by flyskate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnkay Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 These new subs are fantastic. I'd have saved $3750 on a gen if these were available two years ago. I honestly believed that the sub would never be right, and not being a modder, I gave up. It's about freaking time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Excellent, excellent, excellent review!! We're getting THAT much closer to the "perfect sub"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dluddy Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 So, PT /WM9 or EuroTimez with the Clarks crystal installed - Who has the best Sub now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayan Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 where can I get the WM9? Only from PT? is it the "Supreme Edition"? What about the one from trusty time for $278? Is it an older version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it an older version? Since I can't seem to edit my post, I would like to know if the engravings in the renaut are replicating the genuine. You chose to have it no engravings in the renaut and I was wondering why. Less pretentious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcl Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Yes who has the best sub? now that Chris has changed that crystal. does that swing it for you or not By-Tor? Kind regards.

highoeyazmuhudee Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Since I can't seem to edit my post, I would like to know if the engravings in the renaut are replicating the genuine. You chose to have it no engravings in the renaut and I was wondering why. Less pretentious? matter of taste AND the engraving doesnt look quite right yet. PLUS with the engraving it can ONLY be a 2008 model. without engraving you can make your modern sub whatever year you want theoretically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayan Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Ah ya. Comparing with genuine sub, it's clear the engravings on the rep are way more obvious and gaudy. I can see the reasoning now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 i just got my sub today from PT. ireally like the overall feel and size of the watch. i don't mind the solid bracelet. it gives the watch some more heft. the noob bracelet is knda flimsy- imo. for some reason- the lume sucks! will post some pix later. don't worry you're not missing much!

seroberts Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Just got an email from Chris he sez the new upgrade version from him will be ready in 2 weeks. I'm hoping the lume will be better Cheers, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcl Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 @ im2 I didn't mean it to sound like that. What i meant is, By-tor is saying the crystal and gasket swings it in favour of the WM9. However if Chris is changing these in future, Does it swing in favour of the Euromariner? Seems to me that the most important things are: dial braclet crystal. therefore it could be suggested that the euromariner now has the 'best' of all worlds. No?

By-Tor Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I agree. Euromariner has potential to become the "Best Sub". But it really requires to get the "rehaut thickness" correct. The rehaut (depth, angled & front appearances) are all perfect on the WM9. But then again, the upgraded WM9 with super luminova might "clean the table". Anyway, all these new Subs are very good... and in completely different level than the previous versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 HELL i STILL LOVE the (now)old Noobmariner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 HELL i STILL LOVE the (now)old Noobmariner. And for good reason. It's still a great rep, and the only one from the "old school" that compares nicely against today's offerings. The Noob dial is sensationally good.

Sorry, i didnt mean to sound like that either.. Well, the gasket+crystal will be a superb improvement for the Euromariner.. About the dial & bracelet i am not optimistic at all.... The fact that we still rely on a 100 $ watch (noobmariner) parts (dial and bracelet- however i hate noob bracelet) to build our super frankens of 1000 $ says a lot...
