URkuk

Gran Its official.... TowTone helped me out and did the ID change... Thanks for the interpretation and inspiration.. URkuk has left the building!!

I wanted to buy a book about watches but obviously I was in the

I'm from the USA but if Admin ever gets around to changing my name to Urkuk can I be an honorary Norwegian?

Nice watch, get yourself a copy of Adobe photoshop..it really helps Here is your pic cropped, auto leveled and sharpened...

Bell & Ross BRO3-97

What will she do for 3 days wages?

The strap came in todays mail. Was a tight fit but I managed. Totally changed the watch! Here are some before and after pics Urkuk has left the building...

WOW! That is a beauty!

havent tried it yet but read somewhere that dry bicycle chain lube works wonders on bracelets.. I intend to try it on my POrikaa bracelet if I can ever figure out how to remove it from the watch..

I travel from the US to Germany on a regular basis and have never had a problem. I usually wear my WM9 V2 sub and carry my Junkers gen beater in my carry on for everyday use. the customs official would have to be pretty sharp to spot the WM9 sub as a rep..

Most Ostrich straps are made from the body of the animal, they are very smooth with bumps where the quills were. According to the strap maker he uses the skin from the leg which has a very distinct unusual pattern... I likee... I have requested that our glorious Dictator grant my request for an ID change from Billkuk to Urkuk.. He is a reasonable dictator even when muddy so it should not be a problem..

Hehehe ya know I may request an ID change anyway...Urkuk has a much nicer ring to it than Billkuk and it fits me much better... I wonder if admin will go for it?

LOL @carprick...I was actually considering asking admin for permission to change my name but now that I know it has a meaning I will keep it.. I was a bit of a [censored] behind the wheel in my younger days but that was long ago and now I drive like the grandpa I am.. The strap was custom made by a gentleman in Canada. I found a simialr strap he had listed on eBay and he agreed to make me one to fit my BRO3..The photo is his and the strap is in transit to me. Once it arrives I will post photos of the watch and strap combo. The watch is a white dial so I think the strap color and stich ( it's actually army green) will look go well..we shall see. This message has been brought to you by a former carprik and a current URkuk....:

Custom made ostrich for my Bell & Ross BRO3 Whatcha think?

Iceberg There is an awesome raffle going on..5 bucks a ticket with some really nice prizes.. All the funds go to support this site. Take a chance and show your support, you may get lucky

Suggest GlobalReplica.....hehehe

too big for me but I still like it..

Junkers for me!

I purchased this watch from a RWG member last week, it's in great shape but wears a bit large for me (42mm) I may have to resell and find something a bit smaller...I luv the Bell & Ross design but cant seem to pull it off with my small wrist..

more pics

promised a pic me likee...

I ordered a link pin remover from Birdman which arrived today. With Birdmans tool I pushed the pins from the side that was not flush, then used a pliers to pull them the rest of the way out. I bent one pin but was able to straighten it and reuse it. Thanks to the suggestions I received here I was able to resize the bracelet in less than 10 minutes... This is a wonderful forum!! Thanks Bill
