Greystash Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Hey guys, I have been hammering the search button here for a while now and I thought it was time to say hello. I was originally attracted here by my fondness for the Subs; I was pleasantly surprised to find a healthy watch modding community. Being a hands-on guy I love to tinker and I think the tiny little machine that is an Automatic movement, is really a thing of beauty. I would love to have a go at building a Frankensub at some stage. Problem is I probably wouldn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greystash Posted May 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Warm welcomeHey thanks Tribal....another familiar name from my searches. Welcome. Always a pleasure to come across a new member who spends the time to get acquainted with the goings on before throwing themselves to the wolves.Oh, and here I was just about to (shill-style) ask TTK to YELL me a map to the Shangr la. (LOL....Just Kidding) While I may be new here, I am no stranger to forums and their unique social dynamic. To be honest, if my interest holds, I would like to start my frankensub with a gen case rather than a MBW....and that of course relies on measure pot luck. Cheers Kruser00.

Watchmeister Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Very impressive. Good luck with the case. If you can't find one reasonably go with the MBW case, 2846 Slow beat, Watchmeister's datewheel gen crystal, crown and tube and beg Ubi for one of his inserts.

Greystash Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Welcome and good luck with your franken.Hey fxrandy, thanks....I'll need it to land a gen case. A quick question here; I'm pedantic about spelling and above I wrote 'torn' where I meant to write 'tore'. Where is the edit button for my own posts? Can that be done here? It can in most other places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 VIP members (paying members) have the ability to edit posts. Notice the extra button at the bottom of my post. Another reason to join up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason to join up. No I can't even SEE the button on anyones posts ....Looks like edit buttons are even more secretive than oem speced-out sub cases. Don't worry, if this latest interest of mine is not just a flash in the pan, it will be VIP for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
