These really do look good, just a shame about the date window on the 42mm which has already been mentioned but overall they look amazing. Do we know if they are making the rubber straps for these? Thanks for all the updates and pics

Thanks for the update buddy, for first versions these look great, look forward to seeing update

Great work tc.....better click that follow button

Agree with both routes here buddy......get a decent rep for $2-300 and see if you like it. If you do you can list in for sale section and get most of your cash back then buy gen or if you know you like the planet ocean for example save your cash and buy the gen. I had a Swiss eta and ended up liking so much I fitted lots of gen parts then liked it even more and ended up selling it and buying a 2011 gen which I absolutely love and think will always be in my collection hope this helps bud

From the pics it looks like a poorly printed bezel insert buddy. I'd you don't want the expense of fitting a genuine insert have a look on EBay as there are some decent aftermarket inserts on the for a small amount of money

These look great I had one fitted on my old franken upo, was one of the best mods imho you can do on these reps. @rolexman.. The blue tint is true to old versions of the planet oceans or like 2006-2008 roughly and the newer serious on planet ocean are using colourless ar'd crystals. all in all sunny crystals are really nice

Daytona for me today as my new jubilee arrived today

wow that's some serious posting Great to have you on here buddy, wouldn't be the same without you

Nice work buddy they both look great, I think you could get away with just adding gen hour and min hands to the 5th gen as you can see the seconds hand is a good match with the lume. Look forward to the updates. Nice pictures too

Another amazing 1675 will return

@ubi Really nice patek buddy, looks stunning

Gen planet ocean on toshi leather

Hi peedog I got mine from http://www.cousinsuk.com/ and they weren't a lot of money I think £25 for both. Here's the numbers and a picture of both in packages. Hope this helps buddy. 069st42184 and 090st1232

Gen planet ocean today with the beginning of my strap project with German ammo pouch

Good question guys

Great gesture offshore would be great to win this as the tools bought from offshore in the past have been amazing, good luck everyone

Hope everyone's had a nice weekend

Exactly what vandal said buddy, I normally soak it overnight in chain lube then work it into all the links until it loosens up then I get some scoth bright wool and smooth of any sharp edges then go over lightly with some metal polish to shine up. Works a treat and makes a huge improvement to the straps

Nice find mate

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Nice

Congrats mike good to have you around mate, here's to another 1000

Nice work gmt lover, those keyless works are so sensitive on the eta movements, I've had to sort quite a few of mine out when I take my reps apart,I always seem to mess them up installing the stems I've got most spare keyless parts if you need anything

@Icoop Great picture buddy

Sent you pm buddy
