  1. I've recently ordered one of these (due for delivery when shipping starts again after CNY). As far as I can see, the only "tell" is on the back; the gen has "easy strap change" next to the lug (see pic) - but you would have to take watch off your wrist to see it. Not seen this mentioned by anyone before

    I series didn't have quick change one it..

  2. the 187 is a great watch in is damn near perfect with a vac or Zig pearl mod and hand relume. Yes the inner taper of the CG is off by a butthair but it is damn accurate

    The 305 has a myriad of innacuracies

    Yea but is that damn butthair that gets you called out everything :)

    I say 187

  3. Long drawn out process that takes oh about 2 minutes.. First I worked the strap by rolling it back and forth to soften it up. Next lightly applied extra virgin olive oil with a soft cloth working it into the leather. I then allied lexol leather conditioner and that was it ( not really needed) Less olive oil will achieve a more aged look. The key is to talk nice to the strap whilst massaging the olive oil in.

  4. Well received my 390 yesterday and wasn't really impressed with the strap everyone bragged about until I decided to give it a little olive oil love.

    What was meh is now a soft beauty.

    One thing to look out for is the screw on the buckle was so small for mine and just slid in and out of the threads . This is the second 24mm pre-v buckle I've had with the same problem. I can't seem to find the right size so I added my Kain pig buckle. Here it is on my 005k. Like ?

  5. Send mail to Katt's Watch repair ... GLKONER at GMAIL dot COM and describe what you have to send him, and he'll let you know if he can help you. Generally he will work on anything but 7750 and 7753 movements.

    Best repair service I've ever received!! Katt is the best and super nice to boot..

  6. Sorry for asking (always being rolex Guy) what are the pre v hands exactly since the side by side pics doesn't Show differences to me. Are the pre v hands installed on the Josh 1.2v ?

    The lume extends a little further toward the tip of the hand
