I hope I have put in mu time now that I can ask a couple of question that everyone else here seems to know.

1. What is a "WIS"
2. What is a "maxi dial"
3. What is a "Tosser"

I can't wait to find out the answers and feel like I am in the loop.
thanks guys,

All you need to know is "Tosser" has come, and "Tosser" has now gone,,,,,,,,

Eric89 · 16 April 2010, 09:09 AM

WIS is watch idiot savant (sp?) basically a watch enthusiast.

Maxi dial is the dial with the bigger markers such as the one seen on the Sub LV.

I'll let someone else answer the tosser one...

RIS = Rolex Idiot Savant

sakuraba · 16 April 2010, 09:34 AM

1. WIS - Watch Idiot Savant (one who is quite horologically knowledgeable)
2. Maxi Dial - dial with larger indices and minute hand. (commonly seen with the LV, and GMT II-C with sapphire crystal watches, and the 1680 and 5513 with the plexi crystal watches)
3. Tosser - formerly a word of affection which now must no longer be used

Hope this clarifies things for you.

BTW - you do not need residency on this forum to ask questions.

"tosser"....isn't that another term for "Rolex afficionado"......we "toss" our money to the AD's & trusted TRF sellers for Rolexes.

In that case, WIS should stand for "Wallowing In Servitude" since we end up in debt because of our passion.

Pics or it didn't happen!

WIS: Watch Idiot Savant
Maxi dial: The new dial with larger indices and hands (look at the LV dial next to the 16610 normal dial)
Tosser: It's basically a softer way of calling somebody a "wanker", and a "jerk off". (read between the lines there)

Thanks everyone. I now feel part of the club.

I really wouldn't mind if I missed a troll or two, but the tosser issue and Safetrends leaving happened consecutively.

Sucks if you missed those two days.

Why the need to be vulgar??? The OP asks a simple question, he responds back thanks, and you call him this..

Nice...

One more for my 'ignore list'.

Welshwatchman · 16 April 2010, 10:40 PM

One more reason for the death of the T word.

It brings out the crass in us, though I don't think Paul (Paris) meant any harm by the use of "chode", a word I'd never heard of previously.

No more use of that word either, I say.

Ebruner · 16 April 2010, 10:49 PM

In the mad rush to be funny people type stupid things. Slow down and ask yourself, "should I really say this". That is how one becomes wise.
