Love your Fortis Pugwash!
Today i wear another superrep, the IWC GST TI. Bought this rep about a year ago for about 170 Euro shipped. If I look at this watch I can't understand the high price of the Cousteau diver...
I think I will pass on this one too. Too expensive and i first want to know how the lume (essential for this watch) is. If there was QC and guarantee then i should pulled the trigger in a heartbeat. Because of all the hourmarkers on this watch I bet we will have a watch with a lot of misalligned markers, and I hate that
Nice closeup pics! Love my HBB SS too, although the back is different, think the factory made a change. On my HBB SS is no titanium, ceramic written...
I was wearing my UPO on rubberstrap today for a while:
But because the rubber pops out of the lugs all the time, i ordered fatter springbars and changed to the "old" favorite HBB:
OK, so fatter springbars will solve the problem. Just pushed out the "old" springbars with the link removal tool and ordered 2 sprinbars 22mm 1.8. Thanks for the tip guys!
I think everybody has this problem well maybe the guys with the gen straps has not.
- "Nice watch you have, Rolex?"
- "O-meg-a, but the silix rubber strap on it sucks"
BTW I'm not completely happy with the strap. Pic below shows why. When i strap it tight on my wrist and and I move my wrist then the rubber comes out of his place. Have this on both sides. When I do the strap looser than it happens less but still comes out when I move my wrist very much. Also the clasp feels kind of cheap and omega logo is alligned (thank god!) but look that it is stamped. Sorry for my bad english. hope you understand.
Hopefully I will receive mine today. Pugwash, as you received 4 straps, how is the allignement from the Omega logo on the buckle? My concern is, because of lack of QC, that the logo is not printed on the right place all the time.

Cheers mates!
Hmmm that's bad news. I feel sorry for your steelfish. But since when is the control in the Netherlands that good? I've imported about 10 reps to the Netherlands last year. Most were sent by Fedex, never had a problem. Maybe they have sharpened the control this year? In 2007 I just bought 1 watch, sent by Fedex and again no problem. This kind of messages are making me nervous because i want to order and import the cousteau diver in the near future.
