Gorgeous straps mate and yes def a market on the boards and on the net for these I love the calfskin and the finish looks great too, I've just had a couple come in from D and these compare very well to them I'd buy from you too at the right pricing 

Important thing is whether the time spent is rewarded with the right $$ value I guess 

Fake people my arse...............look at some of these Gems on display    Keep them coming guys !

Looks great and the mods you've done so well really lift this rep to another level mate, did it take you long to do?

The hands make a massive difference Jack  

I'm sure the Gen dial will fit as I've got one in mine bud   JF 15400 the only thing is the date (on some days) is slightly misaligned to one side, I'm waiting to get bored with it then its off to the modders to sort it out.

As far as the fitment is concerned I'm not sure as I bought it already fitted but I can check for you if you wish just let me know...Gen dials are running about 1100 for the black atm I'm told   

50 bucks bud cheap and I'm def in I missed the last one!

Couldn't agree more there's lots to see and buy out there 

Watchrecon is a great tool for looking too....

Wow you do not see one of these every day, very interesting piece mate  not sure if I could pull it off but certainly different!

Well done mate  every time I try to service a watch it ends up either in the bin or with one of our trusted watchsmith like SSteel to sort it out for me, good on ya and it looks great btw

Dammit! I've been looking at those for years and keep resisting. The discerning eye can find one quite reasonable if you're patient. You're not making it easier on me! Nice piece!

Thanks mate! This one took me 3 years to cave into, tried to buy one in Oz but couldn't get the right deal so I waited and Mrs Sgt was stuck for a Xmas pressie for me and guess what I had just the thing.......  if you can find one at the right money buy one they are really really nice on the wrist, you won't regret it!

Orient Star - Standard Date (SDV02003W0) and I promptly removed the factory (ugly) bracelet and put it on a Jubilee. 

and it looks all the better for it too, nice pick up 

So what reps are we buying this month? What's on trend, what pieces are getting our attention and making us drool when we look at em  what pieces are we waiting for in the mail this month? Our guys are known for our Rolex but we do buy other stuff too.........let the forum know whats 'in' and what's 'not' in your watch box for this month....

I'll start you off with my latest purchase from Mr Prof a new AP JF V2 15400 with his lovely double AR......

Love it and the fit n finish is bloody good   Please leave some details of your piece/s and if you like what made you buy it!

Just thought I'd be nosey and find out what the last watch you bought was.............mine here 

So why a Gen wrist check? Well a Gen's a Gen now isn't it..............let's keep this one going

Any more views guys  C'mon don't be shy !

Really what makes you think that mate.........

Yes it is, just send an email to him and then wait patiently for a reply bud  He can take a while on occasion to get back to you but he will in the end, worth the wait imo, we see it all the time on here and having done it myself too I know, if you start with a cheapie then buy a slightly better piece you will mostly end up buying a TC in the end, then you've spent lots more $$ than you wanted to in the first place 

Look very closely then start again........you'll find lots more flaws  to be fair TC on its own is a great value buy (that's why he sells lots of em) then wait till you've got a bit money together and add a Gen insert, crystal etc etc

I've had mine for years now and it's just about due a service, then I'll add a Gen crystal as it's already got a Gen insert as is, update the DW then I'm done for a few more years or until I decide to go Gen, remember as the guys have said though every rep has a flaw or few.....

Given that these are still selling for over list, finding a genuine bezel?

Gen bezel for $3000   yeah I'm up for that ! Cracking piece apart from the obvious issues the guys have brought up so far, let's see if we can find any more !

On the plus side the bracelet looks awesome  sel is pretty good too !

 Really it depends how far you want to get down the rabbit hole.

'REGMARINERS' are still for sale afaik and they look pretty good (to me anyway).

That's the one's  thank you

Doesn't Narika still sell his budget builds that are better than this one ?

I tend to prefer Gen crystals in the builds I have as keepers mostly T19 prefer them as slimmer profile my 1680 has Gen and the look is much better than aftermarket ones I've seen
