  1. I read that 2 people lost some screws from the Blacksteel bezel. That really scared me to wear my Balcksteel anymore and I started to checkout the screws on the bezel. Surprise surprise, 4 of the screws were already loose. On the V2 version, the bezel is pressed on to the watch, so the screws are just decoys / dummies and I believe they have been glued into the bezel with cheap chinese glue. So much for :All parts of the watch can be totally interchangeable with the genuine watch My idea was to take the screws out of the bezel and glue them back in.When I say loose I mean that the screw would wind to the left and to the right side.That happens when you use a screw which is too small for the hole. I could move the screws left and right, but they didn't come out.So what to do? My idea was to take the screws out of the bezel and glue them back in. Here was the problem, how do I get them out? I already tried to move them out with a blade but that could scratch the bezel. Then finally this morning I had the idea to use the stuff I use for opening up the watch cases, Plasticine / modeling material. And here we go, the screws came out easy without scratching the bezel. The next step was to get the screws back in and I tried with loctide, but that didn't work because there are no threads in the holes of the bezel. So I used some super glue. With super glue you need to be careful that you do not get any of this stuff on the outside of the bezel, it will ruin it and you will see it. What to use to apply the glue? I used a black oiler and it worked fine. I got all screws back in and now I can enjoy my watch again. My advise to all Blacksteel owner, check your screws on the bezel, I don't think you can get any screws from our dealers, if you can, they probably charge you 25 USD for one, and loosing a screw I would say ruins the watch.
  2. I am going to check him out, thx guys and if you need translation, let me know
  3. just standart rep lume, if you charge it up you can see the time after 4h, not more
  4. I ordered one 2 weeks ago from him
  5. Very nice watch, it is on my list...can you post a wrist shot please?
  6. I would not recommend the SA but the skyland is fine on 6 1/2 inch wrist size Go and pull the trigger or get the black steel, it wears smaller then the SS
  7. +1 my has ETA 7750 with high beat movement A7750 hands
  8. you also can get the gen strap which is 125/85. but let me tell you, I would wait until the Super Avenger Black Steel is out. the avenger bla ck steel wears small. my wrist is 7 3/4 and the watch feels smaller compare to the ss. i have both, so i can compare. the sa bs should be out any time now! i am going to sell mine because it feels smal and will buy the sa in black!
  9. What are the latest rumors for the arrival time of the black steel SA? I heard end of Feb but that is not confirmed.
  10. I have a white and a black, both are outstanding reps. And yes, the blue one is a black....great AR on it take a look and decide
  11. I love the SA on a thick leather strap, just ordered from Steinhart 2 of his new straps
  12. I guess this is V2, please confirm Italiano confirmed that he changed some of his V2 to the gen dial without problems
  13. How do I find out if I have V1 or V2, I received mine in october last year
  14. easy, just put a gen movement in great watch ben.......and let us work on the GTG as I told you on RWI
  15. What is wrong with the 8 ???? And I agree, the lume dots could be better but take a look at my. For 220 USD you can buy the gen dial also. This watch is amazing.
  16. great pictures you took. The combo is nice, I just got my strap from HK Tan today and it is great. Will try the white combo too...........
  17. I received my strap today, tracking number was as Aaron said and it looks like the Thai post srewed up. Great strap, great guy, I will buy again.
  18. I ordered my 4 weeks ago, he told me it was shipped on Dec 16th, I got a tracking number but when I track on the page he sent me it says, invalid item. He wanted to check the post office today to see what is wrong. still waiting on his answer. Can I trust him or should I request my PP payment back? Right now I feel like I am getting scammed.
  19. very nice, I want to do the same with the old dial, still like the numbers.....Guess I need 2 SA's, great watches, when you are used to them no other watches will see wrist time.
  20. I am waiting since 2 weeks on an answer from them, looks like I need to search for another dealer
  21. I would bring it to my watchsmith and he would use some glue and have everything new adjusted. Sending it back could create more problems.
