Can You Modify a Buckle Strap to fit a Deployant Clasp? All the Strap Sites Mainly Sell Buckle Straps... I've been looking on countless sites for a 2nd strap for my PAM 104, and seen many that I like, however, they are made for Buckle Clasps, not Double-Deployant Clasps, which I prefer. (Not to mention that I need a size around 120/75 to 125/80, which makes the possibilities even fewer..) I can see from pictures that the opening for the Double-Deployant Clasp is larger than the Buckle Clasp, so could you theoretically just take a razor blade and cut a larger opening, then do a swap? Or would this cause fraying? Or is this just an accident waiting to happen? For example, using too much pressure on the blade and cutting too deep, going into the strap. Also, how much do vendors generally take off the price if it comes with a Buckle and you don't want any buckle? Or do they do that? Thanks,

Would you happen to have a photo of the Ferrari strap on your 104? Also, how much did the Ferrari strap without watch cost? Which dealer was it? Thanks!

Interesting... I guess I figured that since that Platinum Mat was being sold for so much more than the standard rep prices that it was more... ultimate. That is a big flaw...

Thanks tazzman, just found the price to be ~$33,000 USD for the Platinum Mat. Do you have a link to Josh's new website? My bookmark went out of date. Thanks Raijor, but interesting enough, the price varied on the web from ~$30k to $50k. I've always believed that you shouldn't wear a rep of a $30,000 watch when you drive a $10,000 car. That's a complete giveaway. So, as much as I like the Platinum Mat, I don't think it's a good idea to buy. Any suggestions for a rep that only has a gen price of ~$12k?

What is this one officially called again? And which sellers sell it? And can anyone post a link to them? I only have a link to one site, and Hublots are not sold there. Personally, I like the rose gold HBB, but the gen costs more than my car, so I've avoided buying it. I wish the sellers would also list a gen MSRP next to all the models sold, then you could make better purchasing decisions. Also, I looked online for the gen of this one, and the 1st thing I noticed was that the numbers appear to be a navy blue, but all the gen pictures show the numbers to be black(!). http://www.theluxurybazaar.com/timepieces/..._TI_450_RX.html Thanks,

Not sure who to ask, but what exactly does 'lite version' mean? Does it mean it's just a cheaper rep? Or is it a rep of a cheaper gen HBB? And doesn't every rep have AR coating these days? I have an idea, but I guess I'd ask to make sure... Thanks in advance, -

Wow, Now I want to go to Egypt! Great shots, as usual, thanks!

Looks just like the gen kruzer! So how much did it cost to see all this through? Thanks in advance,

Wait, you sent payment through RWG? How did you send the money? What money transfer service did you use?

Hello, How did you do the payment? Last time I used PayPal, and it was easy, but they don't use that anymore and all they have is Western Union and sites which don't work for the US.

BTW, is there any site that tells you how to install the double deployant clasp once you buy it? Thanks,

Wait, so what separates one dealer from another if they all carry the same stock?

Wait, is this the 'Version 2.0 rumor' of the 2006 Cousteau that people were talking about?

How much dust are we talking about? Anyone have a picture of the crystal with the dust? Yeah, it's always hard to judge the alignment of the markers when the pictures of the face are always positioned at an angle...

Hello, recently, my clasp broke and I was wondering if any had any advice... The tab fell out one day, and I put it back in, and it seemed to stay in for a while, but then it fell out again and I can't find it. Currently, the only way I can get the watch off of my wrist is to carry around a paper clip to push in the spring and release the clasp. Maybe I could buy another clasp, but how would I install it? Thanks in advance,

IWC - Fliegeruhr Double Chronograph, Please http://www.essentialwatches.com/listing_de...amp;itemID=1179 http://www.watchesplanet.com/cgi-bin/shop....e%20Chronograph

Great pictures! Who did you buy it from? What movement is it? Thanks,

How much is the Gen going for price-wise these days? I didn't realize it would be limited to 2500 units... Thanks in advance,

Are the Swiss Cousteaus Overall Better than the Asians? Or is it the same, except for a better movement? Also, do all the dealers get their watches from the same source? Because I haven't noticed a difference between ones bought from Angus, TT, or Joshua... I ask because I noticed that the Swiss Cousteau that Richard Lawton showed seemed to have a better alignment of the Day and Date windows... Also seemed to have better lume, but couldn't really tell... Thanks,

Why is the white "5-10-15" aligned to the 6 o'clock position instead of the 12 o'clock?

Where is Davidsen's website again? Hopefully the superlumed version comes out... I once saw a guy wearing the gen right next to me, and the lack of lume really gave it away.

Hey Chris, I noticed that the 2 words 'Swiss' and 'Made' are correctly together under the 6. However, on Andrew's PAM 104 site, if you look at the pictures, the 2 words are split, going 'Swiss', '6', 'Made'. Has the PAM 104 rep been updated and improved? Or did you get it modded? Looks great by the way... PAMs always look better with the tan straps... Thanks,

Hey all, I was thinking of buying a rep of the Men's Hermes Nomade from Trusty, and there are only a few pictures provided... From a cursory evaluation, it seems as if the Date window is at the wrong angle, the hands are different and one of the subdials is in the wrong place, one of the subdials is different and all are in a different orientation. Am I correct? I'm currently branching out, trying to build up a collection of different watches, instead of going for about a dozen of just PAMs and IWCs...

So it's coming out on April Fool's Day? You sure? And what's a ceramic HBB?
