freddy - check out this thread! http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=99816 Much respect is due

Easier said than done for us noobs! lol

+1 to that comment! Awesome!

That's like the most complicated dial in the world!! lol What are all the numbers for?!

Ahhh, thank you, I think I recall reading about that before on here They're supposed to overlap slightly, aren't they?

Rolex Quartz 5100 with the Beta 21 movement.

*n00b question* What's wrong with the subdial in that pic? Looks fine from here! lol

So he's a bit poor then...

I'm not sure if WM9 has some??

As a recent n00b myself, I'd allow at least 2 months of reading the board to get familiar with all the terms and what's available. This will mean that you don't buy a pup and regret it!

This has definitely been asked before - have a search!

Gnargh, I'm in a dilemma! lol Chris and his team have sent through the pics, including a macro one of the subdial as I asked for but it appears that the white faced ones can suffer with a very thin outside ring to bottom half the subdial, to the point of being missing in some cases - I think I can see it in nicewatches' photos a little earlier too, as well as in Mick's original pictures, and now I'm worried if it's going to be too noticeable or going to lessen my enjoyment of it Should I swap to the black faced version? Lani's shots show that the black one seems to have much better printing on the subdial rings than the white faced ones, but I did want a white one! This is my first rep, though, so perhaps I'm expecting too much If Mick and nicewatches can reassure me that it really isn't noticeable then I will give Chris the go-ahead to get it shipped - I can't wait!

Do you know what - I didn't even think about how much the internet must have impacted on things! Without the 'net I don't see how any community or knowledge base such as this could have flourished - we must have literally been at the mercy of whatever the factories and dealers wanted to sell us!

lol Like to wear watches tight so they don't move - can't stand having something rattling around!

I was looking into getting a watch for a 'big' birthday as I had one for a previous 'big' birthday and it's nice to get something to keep that means something Unfortunately I was looking at B&Rs, which I soon found out are slightly above my budget... lol One of the guys on another forum I'm on that is unrelated to watches gave me a link to this place and hey presto - after resisting the temptation to splash out on the first thing I fancied, I'm now awaiting a WM9/BK SD and a 1939 Portugueser

Have a search as there's been some recent posts on this

You could say that about a lot of things lol

Another great review, thank you Stop making me lust after things I can't afford! lol

AFAIK the WM9 V1 and V2 is the Sub, not the SD.

I was thinking I might give building a DJ a go. Now I'm not so sure... lol

I just found this watch while browsing complicatedtime.com. I love the idea, but it can't be cheap! lol

Ahhhh, I can't say I was even aware of that - n00bness strikes again lol I guess if you sourced a gen movement then it would be a possibility, although I'd love to see the dealers face when you broke the news!

True, true! But you are at least creating something out of your hobby, rather than p*ssing it up the wall, if you'll excuse my french lol As a n00b question... Would you be able to take your Daytonas into a proper dealer and sell them as 'gen'? With all the gen parts, would they be able to look the numbers up to see if they 'officially exist'??

I do agree that drip-drip spending feels better than paying out in a big hit! lol I guess the other thing to think about is how much you've effectively saved off buying a 'gen' from a shop, all for a little patience

Thanks for another great review!
