Mickey Padge Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 OK this WM9 Yachtmaster was sent to BK for some TLC, and I have just now received it back! I cannot thank BK enough, he is a total gentleman, and his work is of the highest standard! He straightened the hour markers, installed his best crown and a clarks crystal. He also kindly swapped out the second hand, for one with better lume colouring The differences from before are massive, all the little thing add up to create a damn near perfect watch, I am so happy! Judge for yourselves, here are some pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with these 'little' big fixed you can safely drop the 'near'... damn perfect it is... concrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 It sure is a wonderful feeling when those little annoyances get straightened out. It is also refreshing to work with someone who is a perfectionist and who performs quality work and provides superior service. You watch looks great!

trailboss Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Ya know, I've never ben shure about the YM but seeing these shots I think I would like an example one day. Pity the're so damn expensive Very nice watch mate. You're right, the small improvments by BK shure make a difference. Enjoy. Col. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnkay Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I'm also loving my BK/WM9 Yachtie. One thing though, it's much lighter than even the noob YM I had a while back. I attribute this mostly to the bracelet. For some reason, the noob bracelet was just more substantial. Anybody else notice this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolfire Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Beautiful, just beautiful, Mickey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 It is a high end rep, and the price reflect this, but it is superlumed and pretty much the best Rolex rep money can buy, go through BK and you know your watch will be perfect too! I actually thought the Yachtie was quite heavy for it's smaller profile case size, plus the bracelet has solid mid links too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg1459 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 is there an EU supplier for wm9 stuff except PT? he has only v1 wm9 sub afaik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 is there an EU supplier for wm9 stuff except PT? he has only v1 wm9 sub afaik I don't know of anyone supplying the WM9 watches in the EU. You can buy from WM9 direct, or better still BK! From BK it would be delivered from the USA, so customs should be OK? Not like Asian shipments? Beautiful, just beautiful, Mickey! Thanks coolfire!

Mickey Padge Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 I managed to pick up a genuine Rolex date disc The disc is clean, no marks How easy is it for this to be installed as the date overlay on the WM9 Yachtmaster?

Mickey Padge Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Well, here is an update to my WM9 Yachtmaster I managed to trade my genuine vintage style Rolex date wheel (see above, large serif font), for a genuine modern Rolex date wheel! Here it is installed on my Yachtmaster, keep clicking to expand! What do you guys think? I am really happy with the results, Domi did a great job installing it, the date is square and centered on every day! It has the tiny serif edge to the numerals now, a small but significant difference! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doeas it fit without mods ? Wear it well! It has the tiny serif edge to the numerals now, a small but significant difference! Cheers!

JohnCraig Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Sweet watch, add me to the list of suitors should you ever decide to let it go. I had the BK YM, not WM9, loved it except the slight champagne tint. Really want the BK WM9 YM but I need to ease up on purchases. Again, love the watch and the mods JW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 The WM9 Rolex replica watches use an ETA movement, which already has a date wheel installed of course, then there is a date overlay glued to the date wheel, so it has the right font and is aligned correctly. Domi simply removed the existing WM9 date overlay, and used the gen date disc as the overlay instead Thanks JohnCraig, there is a list forming now! However, I really doubt I will ever sell the watch, it is insanely accurate now thanks to the gen disc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
