My WM9 v3 looks more like Sean's than the WM9 you are picturing. In fact, it looks nothing like your WM9 LV. BTW, who is Sean?

 

Original Noob's tight to the case.

The one of the fatal flaws of the WM9 V3 were that the tube recess was machined too deep and this is what bothered me.

 

KBH...if yours is fine then either the crown tube is not screwed in all the way or you got lucky. And yes...BK and I had lengthy discussions on this issue and about the Sean (etaswiss.net) cases as he thought they were WM9 V3 cases also. It would be nice to see a side profile shot just like E's just for comparison sake.

 

Was there maybe two runs of the V3 cases, the first being better than the second????

Screwed all the way down. I think it's a different crown maybe. It's slightly rounded on the inside.

 

Nope, after looking again it's the tube sticking out where it's supposed to be.

Do you know if the Sean case will take Gen Parts? How are you going to build it up?

sean case is only made to take gen parts, rep dials have the wrong diameter so they don´t fit
