Star69 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 nice WM9 ! hope to see it soon Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Sorry to sound like wanting to test you guys. I'm not ...I'm just exited of getting a new 16610. Frank: you'll see it soon (and me too) It is a WM9 indeed, and so far it carries a gen dial, gen crown, gen crown/tube, that's it for the moment. I'm following my friend W.Genzo here (thanks for showing a new route) and of course, like my previous 16610, it is a Tribal project A gen crystal shall follow for sure... Some more photos ...

alligoat Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Very nice, Stephane. Certainly the WM9 case gets you as close to perfection as anything these days. Of course, all of the gen parts help, too. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 @Sql: with such a collection, you really need a "Sub" Rolie for sure @Alligoat: well, when Tribal says WM9 is great, I think we can trust him He must be the member here that owned and modified more Subs than the entire membership could do all toghether Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 He must be the member here that owned and modified more Subs than the entire membership could do all toghether No doubt about it, Stephane- just like bklm1234, they're both sub cannibals!

Cats Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 That's a real beauty Stephane. Guess i have to dig into the WM9 stuff from now onwards. But first i have to get my MBK 1680 delivered so i can get it modded. Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephane Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Thanks guys. I think I reached a new level (again) in this hobby. I have to admit I am really sick: RDD. Even more: RSDD (Rolex Sub Disorder Disease) Quality over quantity I've read this before. What is the point collecting reps of other brands as I never wear them? So I am trully concentrating on Rolies, and that is black dial ones Building another 16610 with a forum friend is as much pleasure as dating a new GF (unless she looks like Astrid Veillon). There are so few watches that I like to wear (Ingy, 196, Po,...) that I'm seriously considering selling all the others. After having build a 16610 MBW with Tribal, coming from the TTK Group buy, and sold it to a great person here, building a new 16610 is so exiting. The watch comes from Asia, the dial from the US, who knows where the crystal is going to come from, ... It's like a new adventure. I own a gen Explorer ll that I never wear. I could trade it and add some cash to get a gen 16610. But I'm sure I would not enjoy it the same way. And it would be the end of a dream : "who has the best sub" Look at the 196 I was offered to buy by Kruzer after meeting the man in person. I waited for a year and a half to own such a perfect piece and now I have it and saw the original owner in the flesh too. The wait and desire, as we all know, is a huge part of the end climax. I love this hobby and this place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 @Stephane: It's perfect. What else can I say? Ok, you're a Sub nuts. But you knew that already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephane Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Well, G.Enzo, this is a true example of what this community is supposed to be. I couldn't have build this without a lot of members help and information! 7.30 hours to go and it will be on my wrist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephane, I think that you just have spot THE POINT my friend !!!!!! The point that makes why so many guys here have gen, could buy gen, but sometimes prefer starting a new rep project : because they will take much more pleasure, desire and fun in a build project than go to the AD, and get the GEN in 5 minutes !!! THAT'S OUR HOBBY GUYS :D :D Congrats Stephane. PS : hope that you have a good GTG in Cologne, but i am sure of this.. PS2 : i see that Tribal will be there .... I really missed you guys See you soon i hope Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
