Wow that is some skill! I have difficulties in putting a strap on with my hands, let alone taking a watch apart with my feet!

No worries, I thought I would go on a little search as Im thinking about buying a rep of the IWC mentioned. Found that website redfingerprint.com and it had all the model numbers etc... Quite usefull for future referencing!

Looks good! Such a distinctive looking watch!

You wouldn't say that if it was strapped to your wrist and you could see just how bad (and loose) the gape was

Is there a easy way to remving straps. I see you have done it often over a short period, I always have difficulty in removing spring bars when they're on a strap as you can't actually see them? I always scuff the inside of the strap?

The engraving on the watch on the left is at the wong end of the clasp.

Happy searching Thought Id post here too just incase anyone else was looking for one and wondered whjere could find them. Apart from that I don't know if a Breitling AD will sell you one? One be worth a chance! Don't say it's for a replica though

hmmm..... That date font looks a little 'asian' to me?

Looks great!

The only difference is the movement.

I would imagine they all use the same date wheels, due to the font that is used so the alignment might just be down to pure luck. I am sure someone with a better knowledge of how the 7750 works will tell us whether the Swiss would allow for a better alignment, that I am not sure of.

And the dealers all have the same source.

No that's a cheap Asian movement replica. This is the one I was meaning....

Yes the AR coating reduces the amount of reflected light. The darker the dial the more the reflections will show on the crystal. The new Steelfish's have a very heavy AR though, and won't reflect much light at all, and you will see the blue tint of the AR at certain angles.

A point relating to Ruby;

Although I have not ordered form her yet I know of a few people that have, and she sent them a picture of the watch they would actually receive.

Am I right in thinking you have a rubber strap for an Omega? Would be interesting to see what it looked ike on that if you did! (the PO type one where the strap covers the end link gap)

Theyre different sizes. The Navitimer is much smaller (the regular one anyway) You culd try the new Navitimer Montbrillant, but the movement hasn't had much praise, and could be a risky purchase! Personally of all the Navitimer range I would recommend the Fighters edition for your requirements. Unfortunately the only way to satisfy all of your requirements would to be to buy a genuine Montbrilant Olympus (although that doesn't have the coin edge incidently).

Nice collection! Love the Hublot!

If the wrist shot is more preresentative of the colour then it looks quite classy! Bracelet is the one that clinches it for me though

Looks great, I have got to get me one of these!

Sometimes see the MOP dials come up on ebay, best bet is to get one from there and put it into the BCE.

Good luck on getting the papers, but I have a box for sale if you want to make an offer for it!

On a note about Angus I cannot for sure say whether or not he drop ships all his stock, but I have asked to him to check the watches he sends me, and all have been perfect so far. UPO and PO chrono are on the way which have been checked prior to sending.

Good luck with the last bit. You might be able to find a non functioning one that meets the requiremtns, but it won't be very accurate. You're best bet is to the the Navitimer Fighters Edition

The one on ebay is the IW3706018, the one pictured as a gen in the link provided is the IW3706007. The dial, and sub dials are very slightly different.

IW3706018

IW3706007

The one on ebay looks gen to me. That AR coating for starters is far more heavy than you find on the reps.

I would go for a VC Overseas
