If I could give myself a custom title and change it whenever I would like then that is totally a perk that I would enjoy. I am sure that others would also dig it.

I think that what is needed is something that is easy for you to implement and is easy to enable. We want a way to support you here, but don’t want it to create more work for you.

I noticed that, at least through Tapatalk, that you have two icons associated with your account, one being admin I guess. Not sure if the icons have value to anyone. At any rate, if a title could be displayed under our user names in posts then I think you might have something.

Here's a sketch for an idea I had for a MOT watch dial mod:

What are you using to create that? I have been wanting to tinker on dial design for a while now.

I used an old version of Adobe Illustrator. Regarding custom dials, I once saw a writeup by a guy who had pretty good luck using a 3D printer to create one with raised markings.

As a free alternative to Adobe illustrator there is Inkscape, an open-source vector graphics program that has been around for over dozen years.

I was going to try to make a 3D printed chapter ring, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. What I would like to do is to have some dials made via a PCB manufacturing house, only the thickness is more than a standard watch dial. I guess I would need to sand it down.

WUS transplant here. I admittedly still like WUS for the theme/brand forums, but I do feel as if the vibe of the place changed after watching how the deals thread situation was handled.

The reinstated thread hasn’t been very good from what I’ve seen and the various edits and comment deletions haven’t helped either. Based on what I’ve read here, there’s lots of evidence that pretty clearly explains why that specific part of WUS just isn’t fun anymore.

That said, the other various subforums there are still really nice though and there’s still lots of great people there and I’ll continue to read around and post there from time to time too, but I admittedly find myself spending more time here.

In any case, I’m glad to see so many familiar names here and I look forward to following various threads here and contributing from time to time!

For what it’s worth, I had no trouble at all finding this place via Google. I forget what search term I used, but it was super easy to find.

I'm pleased you've been able to find this place. Welcome.

There is no reason this place and WUS can't coexist. Or at least I don't think there is.

I like Boston Charlie’s idea of a HUISABH! dial, but I would like to float some dial text for above the 6o’clock position where WR and other watch spec boasts usually go.

Incredible Steals

I would relocate HUISABH! To below the 12 in the regular logo position.

I didn’t have time to play with a design program today (I have access to Affinity Designer through work) or I would have mocked something up.

I was thinking something more like this. Font, indicies and such can be changed of course, but those stick hands have got to stay;)

I saw in the website changelog, MoT, that you now have the watchdealforum.com domain name and that is pointing to the website. Seems like a great idea for SEO and because potential new users who don't know the backstory might be confused by the manontime domain.

I wonder what licensing fee it would take to use the boy from Family Circus (Mot's avatar) on the dial?

Good question. I'm not sure if I want to know the answer.

Here is the full comic I pulled that from:
