I went for the OEM strap. The innacuracies didn't bother me more than the usual ones... remember it's all about the way you carry yourself.
The watch is a true beauty, enjoy it!
Just to clarify this is a GEN Grand Prix, sorry for the confusion and thx to all of those who sent PM's asking me to source a dial, a rotor, a movement,... or even offered me a "better" case.
Bad news is the watch arrived dead ( Puretime AP Diver FC V3 )
Good news is the watch looks better than expected ( BTW the DW/Font still suck... )
I never received a watch DOA before... What do you guys usually do? Return to Angus or just fix it?
Look at pix to see how the case fare against my Gen AP BB:
This easily became the favorite AP I've ever owned ( including GENs & REPs )
Pics don't make justice... Here's the breakdown:
AP ROO Chronopassion Ultimate V5
GEN White Rubber Strap
Mike No holes Bead Clasp
VAC ( AR Crystal, AR Cyclops, Lume, Service )
Here's my two cents if I may...
I've been dealing with Mike for a while now and in my case he always delivered a flawless experience. The guy has the proper skill set, good craftsmanship and above all a great value.
Whether it works for you or not depends on exactly how hypocritical you're being. ( Personally I don't take him for granted simply because I'm aware of the fact that the 90% off the stuff I threw his way was pure Chinese junk ).
Cheers,
Spent the day sitting this "puppy", such a tease!
What a man can do while still waiting for Angus to get his FC parts back from the manufacturer... Yeah, another delay... He should have back in two weeks...
