  1. Ouch bro, that sucks. Eventhough I'm sure it'll be fixable, but I have no idea how to screw it in place again, but it does look like you have to open it up and remove the crownstem and screw it from the inside.

    What would your TD say if you asked for a new crown with stem? Then you'd only have to open the watch, pop out it out and change it for the new.

    Hey P .. you totally right bro.. thats how it needs to be done .. unfortunately I am not in Sydney but in Adelaide for some further flying training for the next 3 months... dont know any watch smith here who would work on reps..

  2. HI guys .. I am normally active in the AP section and am from Sydney. I have recently moved to Adelaide for 3 months and to my bad luck my 318's second and minutes hands cams off completely !!! Also I am having issues with my brand new AP RBII so I was wondering if there were any members from Adelaide on here ..firstly if the can recommend a watch-smith in the city and secondly it would be good to know them ....any input will be appreciated...

  3. ATTENTION: this issue is VERY easy to fix. Do not sell the watch for a bargain because of this! All it takes is to remove the crown/stem (and for that you will want to open the caseback, obviously!). The four tiny screws are easily accessible once the crown is removed. If you don't want to fix it yourself, any watchsmith would do the job for a dollar.

    Will you marry me Astro?? ...YAY I am going to get it fixed ..but I hope the watchsmith has the right tools to open the different type of screws this watch has without damaging it...Please remember I am in Australia..lol sometimes here its hard to find even the simplest of things available to the modern world in the 21st century!! but thank you very much for the info mate

  4. $240 was the gen strap for titanium RB2. But I think the rep RB2 strap is pretty good because it's real leather with nice thickness and grey stitching. It's pretty close. It's the gold version that needs the expensive gen croc strap to look good IMO. As I mentioned, the RB2 and Montoya accept the gen straps perfectly on the links. The ultimate (secs @ 12) links don't fit gen straps. Sorry for the quick phone pics..

    HI mate thanks very much for the pics .. I really appreciate it.. so 240 is a rather cheap price for a gen strap .. can you tell me where you bought it from??

    I agree with you .. I have a Rose gold one but the rep strap it not too bad .. however if I can get a gen for that price that would be awesome!!

  5. Yiasou, Greek.

    The gen [censored] strap is better made and better Alcantara liner ($240), the rep strap is good for rep because at least its leather.

    The gen RG strap is of course croc and makes the watch ($570). I have two gen Rb2 croc straps actually.

    Also, the rep RB and Montoya strap links accept gen straps perfectly, where as my other secs @12 links seem too thin and wont fit gen straps..

    Thanks mate...do you know where I could get a gen strap?? Also did u say it was only $240?? or was it for just the lining ?? Also do you think it is absolutely necessary to change the strap as was the case with the safari ( I have a HKTAN for it ) ?? If you have any pics plz do post the link that would be great .. thx m5smg2

  6. Hello everyone..some may know I got a new RB II Rose gold and I am very happy with it. Problem now is that its hard to find who could carry out mods on this to revile the screws and the movement. Also not sure what are the OCS mods are too ..to make it gen like?

    Any input will be appreciated..

    PS: I head Domi does the mods but not sure.. Also will Uwe carry it out?
