Thank you
I just used my rep links for both my AP bands straps. They work just fine.

Hi all,
Please let me know if the APb hornaback,costs about $350, can be fitted on AP ROO sec@12 or needed the extra APb converters.
Thank you.

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.

Are there more dial choices with sec@12?

I read that the quality,construction of MBW is far better and can it be base for future mods(franken)..
-
Is it clear that sec@12 needs service ?

Check the ebay seller trend-chaser,100% authentic A&F.
Still aren't any A&F or Hollister in EU?

-
Is possible to give me the links for these?
Thank you
a "pen" eraser then the brushed fiberglass brush pen form Watchboys on ebay or the fiberglass brush from Ofreithe eraser can be used aggressively and the fiberglass brush to get the brushed lines straight..

I s there specific rouge and part of dremel suitable for brushed steel?
Dremels are great. But at high speeds you can take a chunk out of something if you're not careful. -
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 .
-
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 ,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.

All that you bought 2893 or 2892 check you mvts
Is there a movement school on the boards? -
Before two weeks i got mine,16613,also the same,M serie.
I contacted immediately with George and he told me to send it back to USA and he will replace it with z serie,i paid 37 euros shipping cost via EMS for his fault....
Still waiting,this sucks....

Eddie Lee,was one of the best dealers ever seen IMHO...
-
Sure the tastes are different but te wm9 sub deserves to be part of any rep collection.

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? ).

i disagree - PrTime has exactly the same watch for less $$ ...
I don't know PT's sub but people more knowledge than me(ubi)said very good things about wm9 sub, i don't want to provide wm9 by the way he sent me wrong watch...
But the fact is that his sub is top class.
-
Some details worths,the rehaut is the best ever seen in sub,case,clasp,very good end links without gap,i am not expert but i have got garbages from other very <popular>dealers.
please please - somebody explain tome why i should buy form WM9 ?
because more expensive means better ?
cheers,
Frank
