Dear all~.

I'm glad to share WM9 2008 Z-sub info and pictures.
I've been looking for "who has best sub", when I register rep forum, my first question is who has best sub? :D :D and there are hundred kinds of sub today, and we are still looking for who has best sub, isn't it?

I got the answer that question today, the answer is ROLEX (of course), and then WM9! there is no doubt about it I think.

The package from Taiwan not from China, I'm not sure made in TW is good then China, but overall quality is very good compare with from China.

Almost GEN pearl & insert.

I'm very impressed by pearl, what a GEN!! it looks really good and color of swiss super-lume is perfect lume color! moreover dial index lume and color is really beautiful. Hour markers, lume, hands... all finishing are best!

a little bit BIG size crown.

I think the only flaw of this watch is crown size, I don't know why but crown looks strange, so I swap SSD's crown, looks better, I will change GEN crown later. but crown guard shape is good, I don't need to trim it.

Bracelet and clasp.

believe me, I test done all the links screw-unscrew, all screws have strong solidarity like as GEN. and also printing on the clasp is clear, NOT staggering!! :rolleyes:

What a nice crown-mark! have you seen before like this another rep?? clasp working is secure too.

date-fonts

But, just one thing is unsatisfactory. Some date fonts too be upper, and I go to fix font align to local watch-smith, but he told me he can't fix this problem, because it's date-font's print was wrong. It is not an angle problem, original date-wheel was wrong-printed. George promise he will send another date-wheel to me. I will change it.

Yes,
I have this one also you are right this Sub looks really great from factory.
The oversized crown is an easy swap, I changed tube and Crown on mine.
When you look at the Datemag then you see magnification is not
strong enough and the Crystal needs to be changed also.
Great to see that the bracelet is well made, I don't received mine yet.
Maybe you can post some Pics of the SEL'sthats also interesting to see.
Thanks for sharing
Merry Christmas
