Let me first tell you that it pays to ask questions. I won a watch yesterday and the seller was very nice and wrote me an email thanking me. I wrote him back and for fun I asked if he had a 5606-5019 He'd like to part with. HE DID!!! He asked what I'd like to pay for it, we agreed and he listed it for me at triple the price so I'd get it at the agreed Best Offer Price. Here it is... His picture. It's not the 5019, but a 5010 will do just fine as I have the 5019 case waiting for it! WOOT!!!  What a nice seller! Is it wrong that I'm very excited about getting a watch? |

Shawn, I hope you'll be seeing it soon to move it in to this case after a nice brushing:  to look something like this, but not brushed so heavy (that is a borrowed picture):  |

It's a wonderful looking case and I'll most likely need to create a jig to keep the radial brushing even throughout. I love a challenge, drop me an email when you're ready to send it my way for the rework. Shawn |

Thanks!

It will be very nice when the case has been refinished, with the funky green dial and mesh bracelet...wish I was a girl....almost  Me and Poll's look forward to seeing the end results, the stuff Shawn has done always looks fantastic. |

Great that you were able to put this all together - way to show that WIS motivation.

Thank you, everyone.
So my question is... I've seen it over and over again. What does WIS stand for?
I'm starting to love the picture of the watch as is. I might end up saving that case for another color.
Can't wait to get it to see for myself!
