Hey fellas. Quite surprised that noone here has dealt with helenarou cases/crystals. I have managed to obtain info that these crystals are 35.15mm in diam. Is this a little small?

Looking good. Great job.

Davidsenjpn - here is his corner on RWG DSN

Great post. Very informative. Thanks for sharing.

This is a great phisilophy. Watches are just things... I used to baby my watches but have changed my way of thinking and wear my gen and reps anywhere now (except the gym). I dont mind the dings or scracthes on the body, bezel, band but still get upset with small crystal blemishes.

I totally understand where you are coming from - this hobby requires serious patience. Watchdog did a great job on a few pieces for me but I did have to wait in queue for around 4 months. It was worth the wait

Hi plaifender. The watch is 177H (from Joshua). 177H

Gents, I am looking for a sapphire crystal for a 44mm Pam. The watch was bought from Joshua and came with a mineral glass and got scratched pretty much straight away. I know DSN sells these crystals for $80 as I have already bought one - unfortunately, I will never see it again as Jakub (K222) has had it for over 6 months now. Now I am trying to find another crystal for, hopefully, a cheaper price. After some research, I have found that Helenarou/MK can sell the crystal to me - the question is whether the crystal will fit into Joshua's case. I have heard of a few people having some issues with helenarou cases but nothing definite. Is anyone able to advise? Thank you

Excellent write-up. Happy for your acquisition and thanks for sharing.

hahaha the toilet pic is a crack up Its a 45mm. 41mm would look a lot smaller.

bump. no one has any info?

Gents, I have previously purchased a sapphire crystal for 44mm Panerai from DSN but with the drama with Jakub, I will never see the crystal again. DSN still has the crystals for sale but the price is $80! I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get the crystal for a better price. Thank you.

Thanks dor the update, scotty. Apologies for not reading the other posts prior to posting.

Thanks Andrew.

That is hot!

It appears so.... Anyone else apart from me whose stuff hasn't been returned?

Gents, as the topic states, what is involved in taking out/reinstalling the crystal from Navi World? Thank you.

I will try to work the inside down a little and will see if that works. Thanks for the reply, mate.

Hi mate. The tubes are already out.. So the material needed to be trimmed on the inside of the loop (through which the bar screws to the case) at the time the strap was being made? Can this be somehow fixed at this stage? Can I use some tool to trip the insude of the loop to make the conncetion point thinner? Many thanks.

Hi, the tubes have already been taken out - woth tubes the rubbing is a lot worse. I am not sure I understand what you mean when you say "no notch on the case".. can you please clarify this. Thanks Stormtrooper

Hi Fellas, I have bought a Pam from Josh and have modded it. Zack (Red12) has built 2 beautiful straps for me. The combo looks great but the strap keep rubbing on the case and is getting scratched up. Is there anything I can do about this? I have been looking at wristshots here on the forum and it doesnt look like many people are experiencing the same problem. How do you guys do it? Most Pam straps are quite thick and I wouldnt say mine is thicker than other straps.. Do you somehow sand the case back? Thanks for your help, in advance.

Hey arty. I cant believe the price. Very cheap which in my books means 'not very good'. I could be wrong, of course. Thanks for the suggestion - I quite like the Tabac colour also listed on that page.

Damn, thats expensive I get the idea, though. Thanks Delta

Gents, I own a white Navi World, purchased from Joshua about 6 months ago. I've had DW upgraded and had the lume done - The Zigmeister did the honours. The watch gets serious wrist time and the bracelet is starting to fall apart. I was thinking of getting a nice leather strap for this beauty. I was thinking to get a deployant clasp but am not set on this. Any suggestions what strap I should get? What colour? I like black straps but am unsure whether black will look any good with a white watch. Please let me know your thoughts. Many thanks.

The seconds hand is on the chrono. The chronos are actually functional. Definitely get the lume done - looks great.
