WM9 verification please!

[Esavy]

Hey guys,
This was purchased and addimitley described to me as a WM9 watch purchased from Roger/George a long while ago (said he payed close to $600). One of my buddies pointed out to me that he had some concerns of it really being a WM9 watch. There has been no mods done, it's not stated as a bk wm9 etc. please tell me what your expert opinion is if you know the watch. It's supposed to have the ETA 2678-2 MOVEMENT.

I really hope I didn't get screwed

WM9 verification......

Any pictures of the movement?? Sure way to know if that could be seen. Something very different on the movement AND how it is mounted. It will have a large movement mounting ring made of solid brass, and should weigh almost or exactly like the genuine thing. Exact model only. [+ or - a few grams]. Watch case [head only]. That should settle your question. Any watchmaker worth his salt would unscrew that watch.......take it home and post photos......take it right back to screw it right back for a couple of bucks. Hoping it is what it is.........good luck. :cheers:

The 2678 is a LADIES movememt...like 26mm ish..The early Wm9's had that 2678 mounted in a big obvious mounting ring. Impossible to miss and
those crown guards dont look Wm9 to me, but what do I know.

Also the center link of the Endlink? Are the side edges bare or plated?

RSH is the man to ask. PM him.

It was purchased from Roger and George and I should know as I own the watch Eric.

I also have 3 Sea-Dwellers and 2 16610's and 2 16610LV's and they are all WM9 builds.

Every sale of a WM9 caliber should be accompanied by a movement shot... where is it?

 

[rsh]

The movement shot may not be helpful, unless it is a 2824. If I am not mistaken, the wm9 subs that were 2 tone were mostly based on the v3 case. This is definitely not a wm9 v3 case. The dial and lume also look off.

If I had to make a guess on WTH this is, I will guess a Euromariner with noob dial....just a guess. Still a decent watch but not wm9 quality IMHO.

I know there are guys who know way more about these 2 tone versions, and will chime in.

 

[mitchbaria]

I agree, I have four of them and that is definitely not a wm9 v3 case...

 

[Esavy]

No one is claiming its a v3 case it's most likely an early version from the sellers explanation. Any variance in the early wm9 cases / dial etc??

 

[Criegg]

Eric, I wish you the best of luck, if not a wm9 hopefully a MBW

 

[Matyoka]

Or a BMW

 

[Subjeff]

Or a BMW

If its a BMW it's a piece of shat! :hehehe:

 

[Bonesey]

I think we'd all be more interested in seeing a thread with pictures of these so-called WM9 SD's

 

[mitchbaria]

pipe dreams,,,, it's not wm9 in any version and there's no such thing as a wm9 SD...but I'm with Bonesey let's see it...

 

[Esavy]

Welp....It was confirmed by BK himself, as well as RSH nothing to see here fellas not a wm9.

[TESLA760]

Everything has been taken care of no worries fellas!. The seller is one of the most stand up guys I've dealt with. Just was a misunderstanding is all

 

[TESLA760]

It would still be good to know what case it is.
