They're all on Trusty Time with photos. Looks like they've done a nice job of the display case back! They've copied the engravings off the 8500 onto the spacer ring of the rep as well - "ADJUSTE DTO FIYE POSITIONS" Oh well, nearly right. They got the happy feet and pearl sorted though so can't complain too much I suppose. The bezel looks gorgeous, spot on. and the bracelet clasp complete with micro-adjustment! and screws on the bracelet links as per gen! Love it!

Just go onto Trusty's site and look under planet ocean. They're all there with photos.

I'm guessing the reason why you can't use a gen crown with the rep tube is because the internal thread pitch is different?

Zdravo! Ahhh... Croatia - I was there for my first time in May. So many wonderful memories! I stayed in Cavtat which is just down the coast from Dubrovnik. Excellent wine and beautiful countryside. I would recommend Croatia in May to anyone, nice to walk around, not too hot or humid. Plenty of Zlatorogs and Lasko Pivos were imbibed during my stay! Živjeli!

Double AR'd crystal received today, Cheers Matt

Thanks for that!

Sorry for being really dumb, but I take it fitting the crystal with a crystal press means the crystal is a 'friction fit'? Also Rymeister, I'm guessing you used a genuine crystal gasket when fitting? I really want to get this mod on mine, I fancy a little project to keep me busy! Something weird I've also noticed, when I check my watch whilst sitting inside a car, the crystal almost disappears as though it was double-AR'd! It must be the coatings on the car glass coming into play! Cheers Matt

Probus Soafuia? A good try, but it'll never beat Shitinerand!

The mesh looks gorgeous and just perfect with the ploprof! I bet it's mega comfy too, sure looks to be with being so thin!

Jeez!! I cannot believe what I'm seeing in those last pics! Got me worried about mine now, although everything seems fine so far...

I'm running out of room! Goddamn it!! 2 reps and 2 gens. In case you were wondering the third watch is a Fortis Performance line 18k solid gold watch c.1950, the watch in the second pic is a Christopher Ward C8 Pilot limited edition with PVD coating and an ETA 2824 movement. I love it!!

Thanks for all the replies folks! I'll try a 1.6mm springbar first and see how I go from there.
