  1. It came on a black hornback sort of strap. So it was a straight swap.
  2. The Silver Themes rep has no lume at all. I'm not sure the gen has..?
  3. Hmm. This job took about 3-4 weeks - much delayed by a set of hands and some screws that I needed to source from Andrew. - But I would imagine a couple of weeks if nothing goes wrong and depending on the amount of work needed doing.
  4. In the furnace and straight into liquid nitrogen?
  5. These 3 were all on holiday at Uncle Francisco's and came back better than ever. Some pics. Enjoy AP Roo sex@12 RG - Mod to the usual issues and reluming done The lume is absolutely out of this world. Great job AP Roo sex@12 Gstaad Classic Titanium. AP BANDS Montoya strap, serviced and relumed by Francisco: Excellent lume And last my brilliant Silver Themes - (Panda dial) AP BANDS genuine shark skin strap, serviced sex@12 corrected by Francisco. Haven't yet had the time to fix the bezel screws. The maker put some kind of black sealer making them impossible to remove from the bezel And the lume
  6. Silly factories. I've just put mine in the post returning it to Andrew. I'm sure looking forward to see how they'll fix it. I still think you others should return the watches to the various dealers - this way putting some light on the issue and forcing the factory to change the process All of the dealers write WATER RESISTANT in their description
  7. Up early and must wear my new grale. Francisco has outdone himself on this one
  8. Brilliant. Mine seems to be starting to delaminate having NEVER been worn due to doa strap So the good news is you don't have to get wet to make it go wrong - just the moist in the air will kill it RETURNING THE THING TO THE DEALER ASAP
  9. Even the factories might spot a failure if they get hundreds of watches returned in a few weeks
  10. Panda AP on a black/grey sharky (ap bands)
  11. This is unacceptable. I think EVERY single one that fails should be returned to the various dealers for repair/exchange! The watch is advertised as WATER-RESISTANT with every dealer I know and this should guarantee that our watches will at least withstand rain. If this happens to mine it will be returned immediately for exchange. Outrageous I say
  12. Mesh looks brilliant About the Ploprof clasp construction - When you do size it down the inner part of the deploymant will push the slide release button and make the strap go loose. Amazingly poor construction. I can't imagine the gen is constructed that way?
  13. Great and presumably a lot more comfortable than the wrist chewing rep clasp on the Ploprof V1. And cows are water-resistant from factory
  14. I had a look on the other side and it's just fine. Soft rubber like and all. So I guess it's just in the moulding of this one that something went horribly wrong. But anyway check it - and you could replace those flimsy spring bars while there. I'm kind of paranoid about bracelets/straps having lost a gen navitimer on pilot bracelet in a disco once...
  15. Hey. Got mine today. Swiss version from Trusty However the strap broke even before I got i resized It's hard and very brittle where the spring bars go through. Don't go sailing with yours before you are sure it's not comming apart!! And the movement: As usual the seals are as dry as a nun's gusset
  16. This review made me order one too. congrats - wear it well
  17. Ordered a Swiss version today. God knows when the ult will be on sale...
