Bibbs,
Thanks for your response & yes I am in the UK so I'll wait to see how you ge on. Keep me posted if you can.
Db1, Thanks for your response, the dirt appeared on the inside of the face within a wek or two of owning it so didn't wear it after that though I do love the overall look of the watch apart from the wider internal bezel which I think is the main tell tail fign that this is a rep.
If someone did update this with the mods you mention then count me in.
Thanks for your responses and due to work being really busy running up to Christmas I haven't had the chance to look at reponses to my question so a belated "thanks" for the info.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas from overcast blighty!
Tom
