  1. :) Thank you W

    Seems tha must go with sec@12 and have decided for the silver themes with hornback strap and deployant.

    There are more dial choices with the seconds at 12 and you have correct functionality. Movements are potluck. I am with Theo that you you should plan on getting it serviced if going that route. Seconds at 9 although incorrect functionality (which is a deal killer for me) has better aesthetics. The case profile is more accurate. The date placement is better (even versus the newer seconds at 12 version with the steeper bezel giving the illusion of better date placement). And as people say it is far easier to Franken the seconds at 9. I guess where I would come out if I were going to buy one with no intention to franken I would go with seconds at 12 and get it serviced.

  2. I have tried with the bergeon,little scrathes gone but shine of brushed steel disappeared, for me bergeon result is zero.

    I tried the brushed pad that bought from ebay result the same,i followed both instructions but nothing,,

    So then i tried with cape cod to give little shine but the result is not like the dremel job so thats why i asked which dremel model and which rouge is suitable for brushed steel and if is easy to use .

  3. Dear all,

    Just wondered that if dremel is easy for use to polish brushed reps steel,i am very anxious with the shine of steel ,especially rollies,i tried scotch brite following previous instructions and destroyed the band :bangin: ,cape cod(this works only for polish steel) so i think that the dremel must be the best method but is easy to use as the watchsmith?

    Last week i bought the wm9 franken sub from w.genzo that was polished from his watchsmith and impressed,besides my gen 16610 z serie the shine of steel was 95% the same.

  4. I got a message from Chris that i can order his new unengraved euromaniner with lug holes,sure Chris has the best service even seen in this community,looks very honest and at least very kind people.

    I have to say that for a model with an unegraved rehaut, I like my WM9 very much. However, there are many good Subs on the market now as we have seen quite a few quality variations emerging within the last few months.

    Is the WM9 worth the money? That is a very subjective question. For some, maybe not, however I am quite happy with mine. I'd probably purchase another from these guys if I were to build another, but only because I'm not a fan of having the engraved model. I'm still hopefull that an unengraved version with lug holes comes out soon from our forum dealers (Chris? :) ).
