How easily did the apbands tang fit? My deployant doesn't click anymore and I need to replace. Any other suggestions on straps/tangs/replacement deployants for this watch RBII? PM me pls. Thxs.

I have a grey dial which is bronze in some lightings, looks really cool in direct sunlight.

Nothing like the real thing!!! What is "market value" in your opinion?

I must be showing my age, but I can only imagine her being "chuffed", and don't recall being "chuffed" lately myself. Does it involve pharmaceuticals or just a beautiful J12. Thanks btw, I was thinking what my black belt taekwando daughter might enjoy to keep time while kicking ass. This may be it! Is it available from usual chinese suspects?

I have the RBII in silver and black ceramic, and while a really interesting watch, the hands are sometimes invisible in certain light conditions. This dial appears much easier to read as well as the blue dial version. Josh and the usual suspects?

Yes, it is a beauty. Saw an original ad for a 1963 APOA one, cost $68 !!!!!! But you did have to be a pilot after all!! Would have made a good investment!!

I have some blue dial watches, and they go with a light to medium tan, and with black or dark brown. If you are open to some exotic materials, have a look at Hamilton Straps http://hamiltonleatherwatchstraps.blogspot...p;max-results=6 While they are as presented more for Pannies, he may make a custom size for you (Donerix) and the pricing is quite reasonable for the uniqueness of the materials.

LikeDr B says, Go with perfect clones for the first buy also called Josh. http://www.jpc8118.com/rlsv10014-vintage-m...362-p-3285.html

Is 86watches.net a trusted dealer, they have some new UN's that I have not seen elsewhere in the MMD line including blue seal, and chrono, but they look like Gen pics.

First congrats, Second, don't we all wish we lived in a tax free, highly competitive zone!

Gotta agree, a beautiful piece. Is this a style available only from the Firenze boutique, or a creation of someone's imagination?

A beauty, I am wearing my 188 today with white dial and new blackbard osterich strap. btw, where did you source your gen dial and hands, and how much? PM me if you prefer. Thanks.

When you recognize someone's arm hairs without the aid of telling tatoo's!

I am the guy who asked the question why US members were biased towards trading with US members only, represented by the phrase, CONUS Only. At the time, I mentioned I had a shipment in limbo from a great member in SoCal. Mailed May 23, three weeks ago, I was anxious and the seller, alanytical, growing skeptical of why he agreed to trade north of 44 (principal longitude between US and Canada). We were both consumed by conspiracy theories, the incompetence of postal services, and intervention of callous customs officers, that alan indicated that if I hadn't received the item by today, that he was going to refund some of the money. Well, at mid day, he did just that, returning the entire purchase price, after I confirmed the item still hadn't arrived this morning. I wasn't really comfortable with him doing that, but he felt it was his obligation. So I responded by saying that was very generous, but let's just see if the watch is truly MIA or just late to the party, like a good woman. I also suggested that he have a look at Donerix's site which has some amazing exotic straps, and as a return gesture of good will, pick one out as a gift from me. No sooner than I pushed the SEND button, and walked to my front door, but there is the Missing Package on the floor inside the door, a little beat up but surviving the ordeal. So all of you Americans out there, keep the faith and don't deny your Canadian cousins a good trade. One of the posters complained, why does it take so long for mail between Canada and US, my answer.... run by the government.... but even posties come through eventually, rain...sleet...snow... and customs. BIG BOOYAA to Alan!!!! And check out Donerix's new line of straps.... Amazing http://hamiltonleatherwatchstraps.blogspot...ent-models.html
