Not really true, I am riding a carbon fibre mountain bike that I built, multiple carbon parts and the frame cost about $500 shipped from a wholesaler, can't see why a tiny, tiny carbon watch case would be crazy expensive or difficult to make

Indeed, need a video of the gen too really

Yep, price is key, there is a video now too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa4DRuyOe-Y Not much interest in these new carbon cases then?

It seems some carbon fibre case set Hublots are on the way!? http://www.1-pc8838.com/0256-p-10584.html http://www.kingshowbox.com/goods-6407.html Looks pretty sweet, hopefully Angus will take some decent pictures soon

You got some pliers out and just kept turning?

The youtube clip is a rep too? Also, then gen Hublots have bluish AR, I have seen one up close

First class from Mary then, offering a refund is rare in this hobby, glad it's all resolved

You will begin to feel resistance when winding, it will be obvious that you shouldn't wind the watch any more, never force it

The AR looks excellent to me, not sure what you're seeing!

Sweet watch, good to see they fixed the case finishing now, great pics too!

Thanks for the info!

Is Domi around? Sent an email a while back and have had no reply, which is unlike him..... Cheers!

Good to know, thanks!

Nice work, looks great! How's the build quality on these new AP's? In particular the internal rotating bezel? Do you think it might wear/rub when rotated and create dust/particles inside the case like the IWC reps did? Cheers!

Shame they don't have a PVD version for sale, the parts are of a higher quality than the lugs/screws on my new 292K

Is this any help? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bar-Screw-Tube-Set-your-Panerai-Radiomir-Watch-/270742031996?pt=UK_Jewellery_Watches_WatchAccessories_SpareParts_SM&hash=item3f097b8e7c

Welcome to the forums, use the trusted dealers here, with $1000 you can buy many nice watches! Do not use scam websites, because strangely, you will end up getting scammed!

Nice looking watches, however, can the dealer not regulate them a little better? In particular the first 6497 based PAM111M, that movement can usually be regulated into a very accurate timepiece if done correctly

This may be true, however none of the new 42mm PO's actually have the white writing, do they? This is still the latest and best 42mm Planet Ocean rep you can buy, yes? Looks like a very nice rep, I can see nothing wrong with the QC pics

Looking forward to seeing some more strap combo's posted soon then

Why not just ask a few dealers to sell you a new crown/stem? Pretty straightforward to swap them over after all, rather than searching for a tiny and usable crystal

Haha, but mine is aged slightly more, and that adds character, so I win! Nice combo too Wolf!

Great pics, now who's watch/strap combo looks better, mine, or yours?

Excellent, hope you like it, feel free to posts some pics!

Same pins, just need good quality tubes on the strap, too large/loose tubes will create a rattle, hopefully the tubes you have will be a snug fit
