  1. Seeking advice and help for a project.

    1) Is the bezel assembly of the 16610 interchangable with the 16710? Except the click spring since the 16710 is bi-directional?

    2) I've read so many negative comments about wholesale outlet. Is there another source for a bezel assembly?

    3) Are the teeth of the 16710 bezel ring different from the teeth on a 16610 bezel ring? To my eyes they look the same.

    Any and all advice is much appreciated! Thanks!

  2. I've always liked the old tropic straps but didn't like the fact that they are rubber. While ordering a strap for my 3717, I saw that Di Modell had a "rally" type strap that looked surprisingly like the old tropic straps. So I bought one to try. Please let me know what you think. :cheesy:

    After I bought the strap and was waiting for it to arrive, I got a pair of Etur end links from TRF.

    The Etur end links were made for a 16600, but fit the 1665 case nicely. The strap is super comfy and I really like the dark grey stiching. Really well made strap imho. :D

  3. A while back I saw a few 3717's with the Di Modell Chronissimo strap. I always thought it was an extremely handsome combo but put off buying one.

    Fast forward to a week ago. I thought it would be easy to order one online. I believe it was chieftang that said Lone Star had some and for cheap. I had bookmarked the site and when I emailed them to order, I got the dreaded reply of, "sorry we're not carrying it anymore because they hiked up their prices. All we have left are 18mm."

    I emailed a few more online retailers and got pretty much the same reply. "Out of stock. Indefinitely."

    Holy snap! I really want this strap.

    So anyways, I found probably one of the last retailers that has it in stock. And in the "short" size, to boot, which is not short at all and fits my 7" wrist very nicely. Their short fits like any other brand's regular.

    So on to the pics!

    I installed the IWC Ti buckle. I just like the look of it, but it was a tight squeeze.

    It is extremely comfy, even though it is thick. Very well crafted. Waterproof and hypo-allergenic lining too :cheesy:

    Hope you enjoyed!
