It depends on what you want, magnatec car oil (Castrol GTX Magnatec) will really make the bracelet smoothe to use, and push pins/screws will slide out much better. To use it I put the bracelet in a zip lock bag with the car oil, and leave in a cool dark area for 3 hours, then soak in soapy water, and rinse heavily.

If you want to refinish as well, then garage door lubricant is very penetrating, and gives a beautiful shine to the bracelet, looks very nice when done, same procedure as before.

I have used both, both with perfect results (my semaster bracelet had 2 screws that were burred, and wouldnt budge, 3 hours in magnatec and they came right off, and the bracelet felt nicer)

very simple, if it is domed tilt it up and look at the numbers, if they distorn then it is mineral, if they stay clean then its sapphire, that is why sapphire is better!

Lsometimes tracking through parcelforce gives more insight, and you can call them (number is on the website) give the ems tracking and they will tell you the story.

ok then! anyone service watches in the UK?

my hour timer at the bottom has literally just stopped working, it moves forward, but doesn't reset? sorry for threadjacking, but do you have any thoughts.

he is a Scottish [censored] with a face like an [censored] and an ego problem, but I still like him.

That is one misaligned bezel insert, sir..

Mine from Andrew arrived like that, too.

For the record mine came from Homer, (great guy) and was totally aligned on arrival!

Does using a gen 7750 make the use of the chrono smoother (my pushers feel a little stiff)

also my housemate just bought a gen Tag Carrera (brad pit version) and his chrono is actually less smooth in terms of the beat than my 28,800 A7750, are there high and low beat eta 7750 movements?

The gen is automatic right??

I love the gen of this watch, if someone made a good quality rep I would snap it up, but the ones I have seen have been of the cheaper rep quality.

Reg has the manual rep in the photo

I think that only racing drivers should be allowed fast cars, the rest of us should drive 1.0l pandas

and that only chefs should be allowed ovens.

I have a chrono, after going though the same pain of debating these 2, no matter which you choose you win, but everyone wants to win big.

I love the way it sits on the wrist, I liked the bond as well, and will buy one next, but I am young and a sports coach so the chrono suits me well.

Oh and the strap is rubbish! I bought my chrono last week, ordered a gen band yesterday, fitting it tomorrow morning (assuming it comes with the 9am post) It really is a massive tell, yes a photo comparison shows they look similar, but put the 2 next to each other in the sun and difference is blatant!!!
