blue_sphere Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Looks great. Are you going to get her lumed with SL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue_sphere Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Haha didnt read that part! It should already have SL lume. Congrats! If I saw it on your wrist I would be sure it was a gen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 It should already have SL lume. Congrats! Actually, a Euromariner has the noob dial, so the lume is only so-so. But the watch looks very nice, hope you enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bklm1234 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 it's actually a noob exp2 crystal. Wholesaleoutlet999 crystal has cyclop like a D-cup, too much mag. I originally wanted to use it because it's thinner. With the retaining ring shaved so the insert can go in recessed, a Clark crystal or gen crystal will look comically too tall above the insert. I dug up a noob exp2 crystal which has gen construction and it's perfect. It's thinner, has correct mag on the cyclop. Bingo. -bk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cht Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Looks great! Nice work bk! Was any polishing done to the bracelet? It looks great for a noob! Is it me, or is the cyclops off to the right too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertieng Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 But is it only my eyes, the crystal is sitting marginally too high above the bezel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Chief Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) Wow, Nice! Mine is from WM9 Edited January 9, 2009 by Master Chief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBrat Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 BK modded my PT's Supreme sub (WM9 Version 1.5). He trimmed CGs, installed Clark's crystal, installed WM pearl, re-aligned DW and shortened the crown stem (it was too long originally & protruded out a little). The watch looks gorgeous, and is definitely a keeper. It was a pleasure to deal with BK. All my PMs were answered within max couple of hours, most within minutes actually. He looed at the watch and made suggestions on what should be done to make it look closer to gen. I will not go to anybody else for buying any watch model that he carries. I am now in a dilemma to whether have the sub serviced & superlumed or not. What do you guys say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijor Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I like what you have there ... as to the cyclops and the crystal being off ... they look fine to me ... enjoy it, it is a very good looking watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vizsladog Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 it gets better. I was in my local used rolex dealer looking for a gen seamaster (thats why im gonna sell this beauty) and he looked at it and offered me $3k for it. so i guess i'll be upgrading or 10% soon.........

Dizzy Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 @ BK do you think the regular Noob sub crystal would provide the same effect? I assume the noob sub and exp2 crystals are the same?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im2 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 PLEASE ! Do not waste BK's time with separate mods now ! ! ! He has to assemble the new WM9 V2 Subs! joking, of course... Very nice sub... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bklm1234 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) @Dizzy: noob sub crystal is different from noob exp2 crystal. sub is top, exp2 is middle - yes noob exp2 crystal has gen style construction. noob sub crystal does not stay. -bk Edited January 12, 2009 by bklm1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
