Super franken project for some of the reps I've given to my father. Just got the genuine Yachtmaster dial today and is going to Pbdad tomorrow. Still contemplating whether it is worth putting the genuine dial into the WM9 TT. PM me if you're interested in acquiring the WM9 Yachtmaster Dial. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Pictures don't do the gen 16613 dial justice. It's my favorite one by far. I have a TW/TT I used mine in. Definately worth putting in the WM9. How's the WM9's hands lume compare to the gen dial? If it's a bit duller than the dial, a thin layer of white paint on the underside brightens it up. Darthalex did this to my hands, now they glow like the gen dial does. A WM9 YM with a gen dial will be awesome. You like the high end builds, eh? That dial looks familiar...

Wow, thanks for the great tip! I'm going to have to ask Pbdad to do that.

No problem. Ask him to epoxy dial feet in the eta postion too. Instead of gluing down the dial. Use an old dial as a template. Gluing in a gen dial isn't the best way to go.
