more to $5000

the insert is perfect - all tritium with a nice cream patina - good case - this one looks very nice.

an crystal you can get from me

Did anybody noticed that the crown

Is brass ?

i think they are both very nice - pick the one that you like more -

rep-whise they are in the same league - hard to see any flaws.

cheers,

Frank

毛泽东

It's Chairman Mao to you.....no respect

okay Mao [censored] Communist

Mao Zedong is also dead and his product lives on

so WM9 is officially removed from the SCAMMER list on the forums

am i miss something ?

very nice ferry tale

i remember the old WM9 website very well - it was full of BS - this story fits perfect and a Lambo - wow

a James Dean Porsche would have been better ....

I'm happy that these watches available again - the prices are fair thanks to TC.

usually i would say the more dealer offer them - the better - sadly the reseller

speak to each other - so we don't see any progress on the price side ...

we all know that the rep makers and resellers make a fortune on us junkies

i personally don't need any touching background story - they are nice Reps, except gen part an are made in China ,,,

cheers,

Frank

@star69 are you undecided which crystal to use

nope - its crystal clear now

+1 the gold parts are pretty easy to get - or just get the TC parts plated....

cheers,

Frank

wow !

very cool !

Froggy gets some upgrades

cheers,

Frank

Another fantastic build. I'm always a bit surprised that we shy away from logo dials and such, they make for unique and interesting pieces (And I always have to giggle at the Domino's pizza dials - my Dad worked for 3M for 45 years. They gave him a gold Hamilton Thin-O-Matic as a 25 year service anniversary piece. I inherited it when he died and love wearing it today, but geez Dad, if you had at least worked for Domino's I could have inherited a Rolex instead! )

+1 at lease they make the watch more authentic looking for normal people

problem with these MBW is that there are no dial feeds -

crown is just unscrewed from the stem - both is an easy fix.

but i agree - should not happen and would [censored] me off

cheers,

Frank

same same same

cheers,

1520

how you come to $3000 for the build - $1500 sounds more realistic imho

cheers,

Frank

still my project watch - well its almost finished just need to relume the hands - anybody has some C1 left

cheers,

Frank

white is the new black

cheers,

Frank

All BS aside...I like your watch!

... and Nato straps.

you maybe right with your story

just saw this watch on vrf - the painted markers survived - but not all of the Tritium

cheers,

Frank

Thanks Frank.

I found a DJ yesterday with a recent serviced 1570 yesterday for 1300$ I was thinking about.

there was/is a DJ for 850 Euro on VRF - if you sell of the case its a good deal - but i would use this movement for something with a date

Frank

This is an MBW case with gen movement? What movement, 1570?

its an 1520

cheers,

Frank

ongoing project

cheers,

Frank

little update on the bracelet front -

meanwhile i got the Agnus/Puretime version -

i wear the watch most on the time on Nato - but the Puretime bracelet is my fave - her are some pics :

VS SELs :

the weak point is the clasp - sadly gen price went crazy

cheers,

Frank
