Mr Hyde

Many thanks for the comments guys, its very much appreciated.

It really does look a lot better in real life regarding the swirlies. I took the pictures under artifical light, using the macro mode on the camera.I'll take some more in decent daylight and post.

It is defo not for sale, I've had her that long (for me anyway), I'd be lost without her.Also the amount of grief I got from the wife spending that amount on a rep

I actually didn't know much about WM9 when I purchased the watch. I luckily stumbled across his website and thought that they looked to be the best on offer. It does seem he is highly respected which is great for me.

Hi All,

just thought I'd post some pictures of my WM9 sub. I promised I would and just getting round to it now.

I got this about 3 years ago, I think :-)

It was on offer at $375 as it had a few imperfections....they normally went for around $575 if I remember correctly and had a longer waiting period. I got this about 3 weeks after I placed my order.

It arrived, complete. I had been expecting head and braclet to be seperate.

From memory the specs are. Swiss ETA movement, Grade AAA 316L Stainless steel. 18k White Gold hands.

She keeps great time and is waterproof.

To my untrained eye, the only imperfection I could find is that the crystal is slightly rotated clockwise. This means that the cyclops is at a slight angle and the etched crown on the underside of crystel is slightly to the left of 6.

I'm very happy with the watch and the marco photo's seem a bit harsh on her.

I hope you enjoy and please go easy, this is my first rep article

A warm welcome to you.....

Good luck with the new watch :-)

Be nice to see those pictures when it arrives

yep..very nice read.

Trust the girlfriend to let you down. You never know, she might have done it on purpose

There are plenty of info sources that are free for watch repair... here are a few, plus there are many listed on here in the movement sections and articles So save your money at this time... plus there was a DVD/Data pass around in the VIP section which had everything you could ever need to know...

Super cool, my current skills range from battery changes, strap changes and link reomval.

I need all the help I can get

Welcome to ya :-)

Hello from another newbie :-)

Dont get anyone started on movements in Panerai's !!

Opps....have I said the wrong thing

I love manual winds, feels more of a living thing

That, to my untrained eye, is a beauty

Wear it well

Stunning work and some nice watches also

Stunning piece and what a super package

Lovely pics ....

Whats the movement in that baby ?

It sounds fair enough to be, but one with a bit more hassle.

Obviously both parties would need to be in agreement.

I'd rather trade with a trusted member of the forum than a new boy like me

I suppose its a case of buy the buyer, but the paypal bullet proof's it for all parties.

Nice pictures indeed.....

my notepad won't let me save as background

Hello and welcome from another new member

Hi all,

Just thought I'd introduce myself again

I joined here in 2009 and haven't posted much or visited to much.

I have several reps, some good and some not so good, my best being a Sub form watchmaker9 that I purchased a few years back.

As my watch knowlege expands I'm now coming to realise the talent that you guys over here have.

I'm a member of several watch forums and post a lot on them. However it amazing how often they refer to this place for clarification on watches they ain't too sure about.

So as my brain starts to learn about movements and details I thought to myself, I might as well hang around with the guys who have their finger right on the pulse

Very nice indeed

That was my very 1st rep as well, I now have a very nice sub

Enjoy

I'm grateful for the post.

it opens my eyes, that some TD's may have issues.

I lurk here and don't post much, But I'm going to make a bit of a concentrated effort to get more involed

Why da @@@@ would anyone want to do this

Is it jealousy ??

Lets face it everyone has owned a rep.

No point trying to pretend to be on some sort of moral crusade

Welcome to the forum

Welcome to the forum

Thanks to all for saying Hi... not only a fellow Brit Fireman_Fred, I am also very familiar with TB 1/94 ???

I'm confused...

Welcome to the forum...it's a big place

Hi all,

Another newbie saying hello. I've been an avid fan of all types of watches for as long as I can remember.

I have a Rollie Sub with a swiss eta movement and hope to add to it in the very near future.

I hope to learn a lot from you guys
