Since most, if not all, of the dealers seem to post old pictures with the wrong spelling, can someone who already have these watches post some photos of the back so we can see how the new version with the correct spelling looks like? Also, is the spelling of "PROBUS SCAFUSIA" finally correct on the new watches? As I recall, the old version also spelled this word wrongly. Thanks!!

I check out WM9's website from time to time to check out if he has anything new to offer. It seems the Yacht Master project has really been plagued with lots of delays. The last notification I read said that he is done with the project and about to ship customers with their orders. Some people have been waiting since January this year. Some patience.... If I had to wait 10 months (or more) for a watch, it better be REALLY good when it arrives...

I wonder if TW stands for "Taiwan" signifying where it's made?

Thanks for the tip.

Guanaco Thanks for the tip. I have been looking to buy those two watches you recommended. I am also familiar with Ruby from this forum. I've sent her a few emails inquiring about the availability of her IWC Portu Chrono but she didn't respond for some reason.... Anyway, does Patek have gens of these two watches? I've spent hours online but perhaps because they are not current models, I'm having a rather tough time finding out whether there are gens for these two. Thanks again.

If you're asking about Angus...he's been really responsive and quick to deliver. I've bought a couple of watches and some parts from him. My watches were in my hand exactly 7 days from the day I paid. I'm in Southern CA.

Thanks for the update. It seems that every dealer post the same photo on their website with the misspelling. Makes me think there's only one guy who manufactures this particular part. Kindly post some pics when you get it.

I'm also looking for one with the right spelling. I could've sworn Angus' Portu says "RESERPE" but if it's been fixed, then I'll definitely order one from him. Angus is a good guy to deal with. Would appreciate if you could keep us updated of Angus' email response. Thanks.

Boy....that's a real nice watch.....

It must have been an error when they were editing the site to add these two products on the sub page: 1. http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.php?productID=277 2. http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.php?productID=506 Note the WOK is gone!! Yay!! There are so many new generation subs coming out lately. This forum should do reviews of these new offerings from Angus.

I'm still waiting for mine. How long did it take yours to arrive? Thanks.

Yes, indeed it is a Wok! Hey but whatever you decide let me just say that Angus at Pure Time is one of the best dealer I've bought from. He is quick and responsive. If you bought from him, your item will be in your hands exactly 7 days from the day you paid. Hope that helps.

If you're in Southern Cal, I know a couple in OC. PM me if interested.

Pulled the trigger a few days ago too I don't know how fast the watch will arrive in the US though. According to PT it'll take 14 to 16 days as he said he'll have more coming soon. How long did it take yours to arrive? PHOTOS PLEASE!!!!

Yes, that's what I was planning to do as well. I wonder if the dial from PT is good enough without having to switch it to a noob though? Nonetheless, can't wait for it to arrive.

I've bought a couple of watches and some parts from Angus of Pure Time. He is responsive and if you're in the US, you will receive your watch exactly 7 days from the day you send your payment. I recommend Pure Time in terms of his service and reliability.

USD345. Just pulled the trigger last night after reading this thread

Thank you for posting some photos on PT's Supreme Edition. I've been waiting to see it outside of the photos from the dealer's site. So how would you rate this watch?

Watcher. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll certainly have a look at it. No wokky or conical rehaut on this watch? How's the print on the dial? Can't wait to see your pics.

Oh...you are RIGHT! That's very silly of me....Sorry about that

I noticed the price revision of ETA WM9 subs making it ultimately $100 less than the ETA Euromariner. Having read about WM9 in this forum quite a number of times, but to have really only discovered it only 10 days ago, I wonder if this price revision was done recently; or has the WM9 always been offered at this price? After reading some members' comments in the past about how expensive the WM9 sub was, I'd have to believe this price revision was done only recently. The new price should now make the WM9 obtainable by more people who are into this REALLY GREAT hobby!!

Great. Found lots of them. Thanks. Wow, prior to this, I was going to pull the trigger on the ETA Euro. Looks like a real toss up between the Euromariner and WM9. From my quick read, they both seem to be similar in quality and appearance. Decisions..decisions....

Hello With all the excellent reviews of the Euromariner of late, I was wondering if anyone has ever done a review of the WM9 Sub. I would really like to read up on this subject, if any exists in this forum. Perhaps even a comparison between the WM9 and Euromariner? Thank you.

Here...I have a good story of "missed opportunity" for you. By no means am I trying to be boastful. Just trying, using my own experience, to put things into perspective. Our family is in the property development business in a small, but prosperous South East Asian city. We're not considered a large company by any means and had to toil extremely hard for what we have. So we bought a piece of land some years back and then went through years of deep recession. Throughout these years, we held on to this property with borrowed money and lots of blood sweat and tears. Finally when the market picked up a little bit, we managed to build a multi-storey office/retail complex costing us a total of $85M. Yes...that's "M", not "K". Of which, 60% of that was borrowed money and the rest was our own capital... Because we were up to our necks in debt and interest charges incurred during those hard recession years, we were forced to sell this hard-earned project to a giant real estate investor for exactly the price we built it at. He sat on it for 5 months. Miraculously the market exploded and he sold it for $216M. 5 months... If we only knew....if we only knew.....we could've sat on it for 5 more months..... So...4 years of hard-toiling and weathering the storm didn't bring us anything. This guy came in, sat on it for 5 months and made over $130M. Again, that's "M"... I remember I was knocking my head on the wall really, really hard when the news was printed all over the front pages of the daily papers when my wise ol'dad explained: "You should feel so lucky for being able to get out of this with our heads above water. Look around you. Many people in the business weren't so lucky and didn't get out of the recession. Either they went bankrupt, out of business or worse....they're in jail..." So that's just life. Full of missed opportunities. You win some...you lose some....We can only hope that we chalk up more wins in our lifetime more than the losses. Don't even spend a moment looking back. Just carry on moving forward. There'll be more opportunities ahead. Believe me... There's a silver lining to this whole saga, but that's another story for another time...

Freedom of speech....ahh...the beauty of living here in good ol' US of A...
