For the aftermarket straps that are available, strapluxe doesn't have the hornback strap and AP Bands would tae about 3-5 weeks to deliver it. Is there anywhere else i can source it from, Would be open to buying a gen strap as well.

Where are you located? APBands doesn't take that long.....BTW: good luck with getting a Gen Strap! Not unless u have a GEN, AP controls the sale of there parts and Straps. You have to fill up a form with the Serial Number before they'll sell anything to you! I had to go thru that to get a gen Rubber for my Safari:

Guys!

Any update on the 2008 Blue Ceramic Sub? Anyone bought from any of our dealers? Very interested on this model!

Thanks, Hike!

Hey Noobs! DSN Watches that comes direct from him is NORMALLY rated to 3ATM.....so that's about 90 ft of water! Most of the stuff from the dealers here are about the same!

If you're handy and make it water resistant for shower/swimming, open it up and apply grease on the caseback rubber o-ring and the crown and tube (if there's one like the subs)

rubber o-rings! And if you really want to be sure, then have it tested!

I've been swimming with all my watches and swam with a few of them after I did the above and have them tested!

Goodluck!

Hike!

I don't know for how long I'll be wearing this! Just came in from China in 5 business days flat with some goodies:

Hey J! I told you to quit sniffing all those watch solvents and stuff! LOL! Hope you feel better soon!

Rolex day today. I picked the Sub.

WoW! Very nice picture! One of the best I've seen here!

It's been awhile since I've worn this one...

Me like! Me want! Whenever you plan to get rid of this, put me 1st in-line!

Been awhile! On the road most of the time.....

and this seems appropriate, APROO Safari, but on an APBand Brown Croc:

Amigo, good write-up and excellent price! I love my Coke, and right now I have it on a NATO Strap with Red Line!

Thanks for the post!

@gio............................thanks for taking the time! Excellent comparison!

Wow, very nice, very nice! Is this a DSN 217?

Yup! Swiss 6497 with swan confirmed and serviced by vacuum!

Just enjoy your watch, Dude! It's a rep and nothing much you could do about it! The Gen is Rare and your chanc of being called out is 1 to none!

here's mine:

Cheers!

Hey Mate! How are you? Here's my 026 Dest ro:

and my 217:

Hanging on to this:

OMG!! You made my weekend Hike! :lol:

Thanks! Enjoy the rest of the weekend guys! Cheers!

People discuss this like it's a life and death decision...

If you like black watches, go ahead and get one.

If you change your mind in a few years, just send me the watch, and I'll strip it for you.

If the coating scratches up in a few years, just send it to me, and I'll strip and recoat it for you.

I'm here for you, guys

A guy is walking along the strip in Las Vegas and a knockout

looking hooker catches his eye.

He strikes up a conversation and eventually asks the hooker,

'How much do you charge?' Hooker replies, 'It starts at $500

for a hand-job.'

Guy says, '$500 dollars?! For a hand-job! No hand-job is

worth that kind of money!'

The hooker says, 'Do you see that Denny's on the corner?'

'Yes.'

'Do you see the Denny's about a block further down?'

'Yes.'

'And beyond that, do you see that third Denny's?'

'Yes.'

'Well,' says the hooker, smiling invitingly, 'I own those.

And, I own them because I give a hand-job that's worth $500.'

Guy says, 'What the hell? You only live once. I'll give it a try.'

They retire to a nearby motel. A short time later, the guy is

sitting on the bed realizing that he just experienced the

hand-job of a lifetime, worth every bit of $500.

He is so amazed, he says, 'I suppose a blow-job is $1,000?'

The hooker replies, '$1,500.'

'I wouldn't pay that for a blow-job!'

The hooker replies, 'Step over here to the window, big boy.

Do you see that casino just across the street? I own that

casino outright. And I own it because I give a blow-job that's

worth every cent of $1,500.'

The guy, basking in the afterglow of that terrific hand-job,

decides to put off the new car for another year or so, and

says, 'Sign me up..'

Ten minutes later, he is sitting on the bed more amazed than before.

He can scarcely believe it but he feels he truly got his money's worth.

He decides to dip into the retirement savings for one glorious and

unforgettable experience.

He asks the hooker,'How much for some pussy?'

The hooker says, 'Come over here to the window, I want to show

you something.

Do you see how the whole city of Las Vegas is laid out before

us, all those beautiful lights, gambling palaces, and showplaces?'

'Damn!' the guy says, in awe, 'You own the whole city?'

'No,' the hooker replies, 'but I would if I had a pussy!!'

Fri.

Sat.

Sun.

@kenberg "Ok so obviously the 20 bucks a watch that this works out to is flawed as they accept that there would not be 40mil buyers of gens if there was no reps."

Hey! Where can I find these $20 watches, darn I could make a killing reselling them! I could put the Cartel and the rest of the Gang out of businees!

I used to think the Hublot counterfeit countermeasure was that they were ugly. I guess that one did not work.

#8 - the BlackSteel! Good one!

Hike great looking pams!

question for you, from whom and where did you get your end of the week pam from and what type of strap is that (aftermarket and from whom also)

@prince....PM sent!

HIKE that 26 is well nice

@storm.......thanks, Mate!

I have the same watch and it's normal for that crystal because of the curvature!
