I got called out once, in a supermarket (of all places). "Is that a Fiddy, wow" from a guy waring a gen Anonimo. "Yeah" I said, "I made the strap myself"... I work with a very nice Swiss guy from Geneva, see him every day. He does se my watches (that I change ever so frequently), but he never made any comments. He either doesn't know about watches or he is too shy to ask...
Grace Jones "Hurricane" has been played a lot in our home, "Sunset Sunrise" and "Devil in my life" being my favorites. Breathtakingly beautiful and exciting. This woman is maturing with dignity (as most of us are ) I wouldn't have expected otherwise, though, Grace Jones, Sly and Robbie, Brian Eno, Tricky...
Just finished shortening and mounting it (together with the bezel insert I received). I think the clasp is well made, no sharp edges , and the rubber feels (and looks) great. It's exactly like the gen (non Ocean Racer) rubber strap I have on my Steelfish, so I believe dust won't stick to it. And it's extremely comfy, the quick-adjustment pusher is very convenient. I'll post some pics later.
Cheers,
Volker
As mentioned above, I asked if I could have my crystals coated. Couldn't be done, the size of the crystals is too small, and the companies that provide the service, don't have the proper mounting tools. Bummer...
Congrats LR... I fully understand your excitement about being able to vote. I can't vote for parliament, only municipal elections, being German (in Denmark). I wish I could, though...
I would definitely go for the SS Ingy, non chrono. I received my rep 20 days ago and it has been on my wrist since, I love that watch. I tried to put on my UPO yesterday, but it didn't feel right.
Cheers,
Volker
