  1. I asked Angus at Puretime the black croco strap with deployant for the BB, .... and he sent me the brown one. Well, while I wait to the black one to arrive I tried the brown and it makes a different watch. I thought someone else would be interested in looking at the combination. By the way the strap is very well made, thick and the color is nice. The deployant excellent. For the price, a very good alternative, specilly if you change straps quite frequently.
  2. After more than 2 months waiting I finally got this YM from BK. During all this time BK has been constantly updating on the status, and delivery expectations. The watch is very nice as you can see in the pictures. The only thing I feel a liitle bad about it is the color of the dial. I learned in BK's review of YM that there is a version with a yellowish dial and other in colder tones. Mine looks the yellowish and I'd rather prefer the colder gray and more sparkling dial. Apart from that, the bracelet, case, insert, crystal, cyclop, crown, ...... perfects. I swim with it with no problem.
  3. I thought I had the same problem and I changed date advancing the hour hundreds of times!!. In the forums I learned that the BB has the usuala quick date set position. After some deeper tries, it worked, but turning it counter clokwise. That was my experience. Now, it works perfectly well. Regards
  4. Hi Stephane, thaks for your warm words. I'm just an aficionado. I do not live from photography. I've seen your incredible collection, what an envy!! Cheeres Condemore
  5. Couple of years ago I was in China and bought 4 quartz watches like this. 2 of them where 25 mm wide (as the one depicted) and other 2 were 40 cm wide. 2 of them were pink (as the one depicted) and 2 of them were black. I gave them to my wife and 3 of her friends. My wife choose the small, pink. All of them were a beauty, very elegant, and all them works after changing the battery. They are extremely thin, 3 or 4 mm. I think is a fantasy watch, and I've never see them in any dealer web. The watch has no bling at all and is intended for the modest women. I don
  6. If you're looking for THE dress watch, come and see Condemore
  7. Hi phonand I really appreciate your nice comments. The rubber band is the one that comes with it. The quality of it is not exceptional, but not crappy at all. Just correct. The dustocity factor is quite good. If you see some dust on some of the pics is because I just grabed the watch and start shooting without any prior cleaning. From time to time I wash the watch and the strap with water and soap and get pristine. Cheers,
  8. I call it "the chamaleon", for the so many different aspects it has with just the tiny change in light or POV. I think it is an extraordinary dress watch, well balanced in size and presence. This is the new one, grey dial and SS hands and numbers. In some of the pictures looks like a brown dial with gold case and hands (and it's extraordinary beautiful that way). It has a small magnifier glass for the date window inside the case. The most accurate view of the color dial. Hard to wrasp!! and the final result. It should be taken wearing a formal dress, but it's too hot in Spain these days.
  9. You are completely right. I think King carries the other model with white date wheel. Original is also white but the date is positioned very differently. The crown is screwed and the feeling is a little loosy. I don
  10. Sorry AMK000, the seconds at 9, as it should be in a plain A7750. And by the way, to me, that is unimportant. Cheers, bro!
  11. Hi friends. First time I come into this AP sub foro. I wish I don
  12. Definitely, the way I like more my Swiss ETA SFSO in blue face is dressed with this night blue croco strap with deployant from Bob (It's not real croco, but it is well done. And I would prefer that the deployant were 20mm rather than 18mm. People I ask also like it this way.
  13. Angus at Puretime, although it cost me 20 bucks more than today. He lowered price while waiting to arrive.
  14. Hi m8s, what a watch!! It's big (but not a monster), very masculine, strong face, with a lot of personality, but incredibly comfortable to wear. Best bracelet I've seen and feltl. After 3 days, I like the weight very much and itis wearing is addictive. I've try a couple of others during these 3 days and after 10 minutes, I've had to wear the skyland again. With no other watch I have experienced the same thing. So, what do you think? Don
  15. Thanks a lot, we'll see what I get. Cheers
  16. Hi Timepiece, I have a new surprise for you. I've asked my father in love his Portu 7 days to take some pics, .... just to maintain your fever. THis grey dial looks very very nice, I would say nicer than mine in white. Hope you like them
  17. Hi Stephane, I like those pics deadly. I particulaly like the hands, being black makes another watch very different. In my pictures, all hands are white or metal, so I think I'll have another photosesion with Miss. Ingy to try that effect.
  18. I asked this watch just to fill up the shipment of a GMT II Ceramic because I wanted to have a "tool" for the moments I work hard in the garden and so. But folks, now I'm in love with it. It's so humble in the look, works so fine and stand every type of hard treatment. It's amazing. Also the look is starting to grow in me. Mine is from Angus, Asian version.
  19. . But be aware. I think I have a lemon, with respect to the movement. It s supossed to have a Swiss ETA 2836, but has been working badly since the first day. No power reserve and the manual winding feels crappy. But the look of it is excellent, very solid, classic but modern IMHO.
  20. doc, neither I don't know nor I don't mind.
  21. Timepiece, you are welcome. The strap is the rep strap that was shipped originally. Black, not bad at all, and with a very good deployant. Cheers
  22. Monday was Rolex time Tuesday wanted Quartz to go to the doctor but the afternoon was for the Blackbird in rubber Have a nice week!!
  23. Thanks Raijor. With the rubber and minimal weight, this combo is very convenient for these hot summer days, going to the beach without taking so much care of it. Other workmate bought the panda dial after seeing mine. I think it looks less serious with the white subdials. Tell us if you finally get one of these.
