Tribal Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Tonight I reassembled the whole watch because I want to realign the Date wheel. I reshaped the CG's installed a Gen Tube and Crown and put a Gen Insert on it..... Now I need a replacement Bezel because mine looks like the V1 Version and the Insert sits not recessed in the Bezel also the Insert snaps in not really tight. George claimed that he send me a better Bezel,hope he will do.... I also want to install a gen Crystal when I get one... So here are some Pics Note: I don't received the Bracelet yet,so i put another bracelet on the watch....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephane Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 The more I see what our Subs have become the more I like the Subs (gen or reps). I think I am going to build another one with you Tribal If you don't mind of course Maybe I'll try to achieve this in 2009 and go for a super super franken. Congrats again man. Keep it untill we meet please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it untill we meet please It would appear the only way to get more gen like would be to get case with the correct crown height (Vietnamese maybe) and then put a gen movement or a low profile eta if possible along with gen crystal, crown, insert, dial and hands. I would be happy to have a gen insert, and super lumed dial and hands on my Euromariner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnkay Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 It looks very good. To me, the only things that still say "rep" are the hour markers (ring around the lume still too thick and prominent vs. gen) and the gap between SEL and lugs. Very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSmaniac Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Damned!!! Everytime i feel good with my Sub you show a better one ! Congrats to this nice Work Brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted December 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Thanks guys, I stated before I don't received the right bracelet yet. It's an old CN Bracelet with hollow midlinks. Also the Datemag is wrong on the WM9 Crystal Today I replaced the Crystal and now I have the right magnification. I will post some comparsion shots tomorrow, it makes a huge difference. @ Vlydog look at my first post there you can see Pics from the movement. I like the watch Will also show the right bracelet when I received it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glitch Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 isn't the blkm WM9 sub a V2? Does his WM9 V2 fix the issues noted above? Haven't logged in a while and now I see that there has been a lot of progress on the 16610. Sticking with my MBW 16610 for now until the dust settles....

cht Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) wow, looks great! Is it me, or does the date mag look a little weak? (not much, just a smidgen!) It's prolly me! Did you have to countersink the case for the gen tube? Looks good! Oh, and if that's a noob bracelet, it looks darn good! My SEL's on the underside of the case like a piece of junk compared to that! (it's on a euromariner) Edited December 23, 2008 by cht Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houndoggie Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 The cyclops looks a little weak in the pictures. It looks like 2.2x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cableguy Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 can we get a side profile shot of the 2 crystals to compare? is the new (gen? or clarks?) and it is taller or shorter or the same height as the WM9 one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted December 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Datemag is right 2,5x Sorry I have no side by side view of the Crystals but It has same dimensions like gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
