Holy Batman, jeeeez...thats fugly!

Put down watch sample and claim $10 for the value! I do it all the time! O...and to make it a little safer, have it registered and send that # to the other end by PM or email!

or you could go to ofrei.com and get some tools like the rubber ball case opener...haven't failed me yet!

Check International Watch Magazine, June 2008....page 129-130! Picture on Page 130!

Wore the Brown Heritage today on a Panatime Croc!

That's a killer strap Rolli! Nice combo and great job on the mod! I wish I have your skills!

I thought the Luna Rossa was nice, this one is beautiful! Looking at this? Lots!

The big question for me is.......would that fix make it water resistant? Would that make the seal around the crystal mold with it or it will just set on whatever was not displaced? Did you do a water test or do you care? ......for the water resistancy of the watch? I do and its a big part of my decision to buy the watch! Thanks!

Oris is GEN! Are you thinking of getting a GEN? There's hundreds of them! It all depends on your taste and your budget! Now if you're talking about reps and plan to use it for timing and such, I won't trust any of them! Most of the REP chrono watches are just showpiece.......not unless if it has a SWISS 7750 and its derivatives! Some members will probably dis-agree, but it's just my 2 cents! That's how I treat mine and I have several! I have a GEN Breitling, TAG, and Casio for real Chrono use!

I just want the strap in brown with the deployant, of course! Has anyone contatcted Silix yet? Cheers!

I think if you did a search on this, you'll come up with a lot, but I think about 40-50% OF US WHO have this model have problematic GMTs.

Don't worry pho, I'll program my PM to send you a message every two hours!

Kudos! and thanks! Well done!

Did you check the crystal yet? Check to see if the 3 o'clock side is even with the rest or completely flat.....if not don't get it near water and return it if you dont know how to fix it yourself! This is one major flaw as far as I'm concerned. Also watch out for that GMT hand....mine stopped working since last nite, one day after I got it! Good luck!

My two cents: 1.If you paid waterproofing/water resistancy from the dealers, then that means you could swim with it! That's what you're paying for! I know some members will not take the dealers word for anything, but since I paid for it, it better be water resistant or else it goes back and I'm not scared in dunking it in water! Done that several times! 2. Only the SSD and SFSO are guaranteed by some dealers up to 100M, the new Heritage and GMT IIc are guaranteed to 30M. This is according to there web site and I take there word for it. If it leaks, it goes back. Done that, too! Again, some members will disagree! 3. I don't trust most Chronos and none screw type crown models, so I don't get them close to water not unless guaranteed or waterproof by a modder or the dealer like my '06 Costeau. 4. After my 6th collection and got educated here, I started doing my own waterproofing which is basically opening the case and making sure it has a rubber gasket and the tube or crown and greasing these parts and then tightening them after. So far, been 100% on this little project! All the PAMs I have are water resistant except the chrono models like the 253. That one I ordered from the dealer with waterproofing and it leaked after 3 months! Off it went to the dealer! Now it's ok after it came back! BTW: This was my 5th collection! Good luck! Oh, I forgot; go to ofrei.com and get some of the grease and the Ball case opener if you want to do it yourself.

@rolli That looks sharp! Now I gotta try that on my 195! Thanks for the idea! Hike

Glad to hear that.....gud for ya brah! I always love Daytonas and I'd love to get one of those newer ones, but that Sec @6 scares the hell out of me! Hopefully they'll build a better one!

Nice piece! But, aren't you worried about the sec @6?

Looks nice, and YES...I have the MM XL with Asian 21J and the rotor sounds like a lawn mower! But a little grease willfix it! But, why not get the 7750 version,,,,more reliable!

Hehehe! Definitely! That was a fine time!

You are both returning it, I hope!

Did you check if u have the protruding crystal at 3? Here's my info: Rec. 7/1/08 Asian IHS/WHS! Also REP the TITANIC! and it did! Edited for an update: Now I could confirm that the water did not penetrate the movement......it still runs and on time with my Blackberry Curve! The only thing I noticed is the GMT Hand STOPPED! This is not good!!!

I could get the gen for $650 + tax!

I was planning to wear this today, but unfortunately the water got it first:
