  1. I will have a look mate I have a little bag of screws so probably got something... Which case? Do you know?
  2. I just had all mine made to fit the deployant (Orloff)... or you can go to TC straps, Panatime etc for ready made but Orloff made a few for me for less.... If you have biggish wrist dont bother with any of the dealer rep straps !!
  3. Any of the dealers can source these mate But I got this one from Andrew
  4. Thanks F and guys as for price..... I really didnt notice .....
  5. Longer than it takes to build it
  6. A great OTB rep... fantastic work mate I just never understand how those little details get missed... given the effort you guys go to...
  7. I thought I would pop some quick pics of this new rep on here... as a watch I really like it.... I dont really like to get into the details on watches like this as I can get a bit anal so I reserve that aspect for my PAMs any other marques and I would blow a gasket !!! ;) Overall.... I think this is a great watch with great wrist presence...... I did a little research on this watch and found there were a few versions of it before final release and a few OOR issues with variations.... thats all I need to know to feel comfortable enough to wear this without discussing its flaws... However from the point of view of the watch... purely as a watch.... I will say.... The strap only just gets round my wrist.... I get it to first hole.... if I was in a hotter place it wouldnt fit... so be aware... The lume is [censored] The crown has the usual HB foible... ie it dont screw straight and dont sit flush against the case AR is on a par with the current PAMs from the HB factory.... doesnt compare to the old HB AR... those that know what I mean... however it aint bad Bezel crown works great... but some numbers aint straight... most notably the 20 Nice movement. very clean sweep and decent +/- I know a few guys have made mention of the crystal and yes it dont sit as per gen but one thing I did learn is the gen crystal on these is 6mm thick so I think the rep factory is always going to struggle on this particular aspect not just in terms of height but distortion in relation to AR etc. Any way I like it as a watch and have no issue wearing it... but I would only wear it for what it is... nothing more Still loving the cartel spiel ....
  8. Your the man Ray No [censored] take mate
  9. I am sorry to hear that mate.... All I can say is...... I truly hope this bloke suffers the recompense he deserves.... and I am sure some day some how .... life will bite him back... The only disappointment is you wont be there to see his face when it does... but rest assured that day will come... so take some solace my friend
  10. Very nice mate... congrats I like the strap.... just noticed that you have the buckle side of strap on 6 O clock end of watch.... so you wear your tail on the inside... I always prefer it on the outside myself ... does it not catch on your clothes?
  11. I am totally for a bracelet on these..... I had the gen croc on it but have to agree with Bike Mike... the balance felt wrong for me.... I did see a calf rubber moulded shoulder(lug) strap once which I think was in the gallery of AP straps... it sort of fitted like the LumTec Zilla straps do... ie rising and filling the space between the lugs... I also recall a guy fitting a mesh to his... not my cup of tea but maybe something you ight like...
  12. Congrats Val F are you still doing the Miami Vice thing !!!
  13. Congrats mate I would suggest you hold tight till you get them.... then post some pics.. The thing is with modding is how far you go depends on if the particular models you have are worth the time and expense.... I am not saying yours arent but it helps to see pics of case, dial etc etc There are of course so many options, choice of mods and choice of parts... but you are right the PreV is a completely different animal to the 089.... Post pics mate and I am sure you will get a few suggestions based on budget etc etc Congrats again
  14. Congrats K Wear it well mate Nice pics... as always.... but where is the bird to model it !!??
  15. Personally mate.... if you need to ask I wouldnt attempt it... But if you cant find a modder where you are or where you are willing to ship... then it would help if you posted some pics of the issue and what PAM you have etc etc
  16. If you want pics .... for Mario go to his sales section here and on RG if you want Hirsch then try eBay or official dealers... if you want pics of mine then just try searching my content mate
  17. If you cant afford OEM then try Orloff (Mario) he has produced some of the most OEM like straps I have owned.... but you need to be clear when you order exactly what you want in terms of padding, stitching, etc to meet oem specs.... If not go for Hirsch.... they make the OEM straps for OP but also make comparable straps under their own name
  18. S is still about mate... and doing some great dials...
  19. Great idea.... here's your chance to expand such a great idea
  20. I think a little research might help Rather than just asking a question and expecting the answer without making any effort !!
  21. The PAM is a 40mm or the Rads are a 42mm (not sure if that size is repped) The best OTB 40mm is from MBW, who sources from Twn. These are also expensive (about $500) and will need a bit of modding to look pukka (DW mainly and lume) but not much and only if you know its shortcoming or more importantly if you care... but that is being picky.. The MBWs can be sourced from Reg (Narikka) or a dealer on RG but cant recall his name.. or you can get what is a Twn 40mm and more or less exactly the same as the MBW for about 100-150 dollars less from Rob at PWC (prestige watch company) on RWI etc Or you can go for the cheaper versions which are not bad but again depends on how anal you are when it comes to reps but these have all the usual gripes you get with PAM reps... poor lume, bad crystal, dial CG etc etc These can be got from most dealers for around 120-150 dollars Good luck
  22. Leather and whipped cream had the same effect on me !!!
  23. You mean pink and with lots of leather tassles !!??
