Avanti

I appreciate the reply cluing me in (and the wacky ones as well). Many thanks. However, I think some of the others, smug and snippy are over the top. I said I was sorry for my ignorance. I looked at the NOOBY stuff and the homepage. It wasn't obvious to ME!!! Btw, for those who asked if I was a new member, taking a page from your own book, how could I have set up an avatar if I wasn't. So, we all do dumb things--duh! I'd suggest cutting everyone a little slack. Again, I'm sorry, but if this is what I get here there are a lot of other forums that are more user friendly. I'm an avid contributor to other sites and looked forward to being so here, too. Sorry to have bothered those who could take the time to reply, but slap me around. All the best.

I know, I know... I did a search got everything. Even the NOOBY intro post didn't tell me. Sorry if I just missed it somewhere, but I did. I originally found the site via a google search. Thanks in advance, and sorry for my ignorance. All the best.

Thanks for the welcome. Modding a camera? Any number of ways, like removing manufacture names and emblems--especially shiny ones--to machining aluminum and stainless steel stocks. Minimal perhaps, but they make 'em "mine." Anything can be modded, hehe.

I was looking for info on how to remove the stem from a Chinese repro 6497 movement I just bought and found this site. It looked interesting, so I decided to register. I'm a lifelong watch fan with a LOT of watches of many types, though my first love is chronographs. I modify everything I own, including cars, cycles, computers, camera, and... many of my watches. This seems to be an interesting site and I'm glad I found it! Thanks and all the best!
