Excellent review, I've owned one of these for 12 years now and it is still in excellent condition. This is a testament to the durability of this watch as I have worn it in some pretty extreme enviroments with my work, the crystal is still absolutely perfect, without a mark on it. Sometimes it feels kinda small compared to the recent fashion of big (Some massive!) watches. Next to my maxi-Planet Ocean it looks tiny.

This was the first "proper" watch i bought and to this day I have yet to find another watch that is as comfortable to wear. My only ocmplaint is the bracelet has lost the contrast between the matt and shiny bits on the links; they are all super shiny now! i know this is fixable with a little bit of time and effort!

Yeah I put the watcheden code in and it came up saying it doesnt apply for items already on special for 22m rubber Omega strap!

Received two rubber straps today. One orange, one black! Very impressed with the quality! Might need to get a black 42mm now to match the orange!

Received today, many thanks Reg. Stuck it straight on arange leather from Bob. Can't wait for black and an orange rubber strap from Reg then I'll have choice of 4 fr one watch! Yey!

Not been swimming but wear it regularly in a hot shower with no probs!

Oh I never win anything but what the hell...

Registering interest if you go ahead with run of rubber straps Reg. Would take one in each colour!

Haven't ordered any reps for a good year now cause of the poor price against the dollar in the UK recently but these seem like such a bargain so ordered an orange one today to go with my black UPO, can't wait - Its been too long!

Same error with that link Bytor!

I've been wearing my noob 3-4 times a week for well over a year now and can honestly say I've not had any bother with the movement. Power reserve is adequate if not outstanding, dat echanges and aligns fine ok. Rotor can be noisy but not noticeably louder than my other reps.

2mm rather than 1.8 are better. 1.8mm only kept mine secure for a few weeks. 2mm been secure for 6 months+

Hi Stephane,

Whats the quality/feel of the bracelet like? Hav e a few different noobs from this factory, the last few the braclets aren't as good a sthey were a year or so ago.

I've had Silix's version installed with 2mm spring bars, been wearing it almost daily for 5 months still as tight as a virgins....

Only complaint I have it is a magnet for dust!!!

@Neil:- Who'd of though that a fella fae Glasgow would have had a chib like that!?!?

Viva les'ecosse!!!!!!!

(I'll be back in a few weeks time once we do the same to Italy!!!)

Thanks for the pics Pix, I think I'll be taking the plunge, I have 6.9inch wrist so most of the watches youhav epictured so think I should be able to pull it off. Is the clasps ok on your wrist if you wear the watch semi-loose?

HI Pix, great review, what size are your wrists? I have skinny wrists too and really want an HBB lite the same as yours, do you have any other picswearing PAMs, UPO etc?

Thanks

Will

I'malso waiting on something from him and have been awaiting 2 weeks, I have previously ordered from him and it has taken 3-4 weeks to get to UK!

You can get very fast delivery from Cousins in the UK. have ordered various things from them and it always arrives domestically be the next day.

1) I dont know about the cheaper ones but the 7750 ones don't have a screw down crown so I wouldn't even wash my hands with it on.

2) Theres a dealer on ebay UK sells an assortment of gen straps. I've got several BOB straps for Breitling and they are very recommended. I too am a "skinny white guy", a 44mm PAM being th ebiggest watch I can cope with but the Navitimer is probably the perfect size of watch for me being about the same size as a SMP.

3) I'm not sure, somone else will prob know though.

Hope this helps.

Lol! I'm waiting for one to and also plan to buy a blue swiss one if I like it! Hope you enjoy it and I'm sure it'll be the first of many! (I started a year ago and now have 8 going on 9! D'oh!!!!

He wore the quartz version in Goldeneye then the auto version in Tomorrow Never Dies onwards. Maybe he changed because he lost the pearl in his SMP quartz above?

Can the DG 4813 and DG2813 take the same hand size!?

Just got tickets for Rangers home games against Stuttgart (mmm!), Lyon (erm...) and Barcelona (oh dear!!!).

Everythingape, thats the first time I've seen the use of the word "competitive"in the same sentence as Rangers!!!
