I'm thinking it has something to do with the numbers on the anchors and that they correspond to the depth rating of the watch they come with?

Good to see you back Joe.

I never thought about that but it makes perfect sense that the rehaut would affect the date mag.

Off to Bend, OR until next week and I think it's gonna be the Tissot Seastar on a Di-Modell strap:

Is it possible to do the job without the use of a vice? ie: free hand? thanks

welcome to the forum!!!

It looks as though the crystals are from cn subs...you know how the date is too far to the right on cn subs, well...

You're right, I've bought several straps and they all look different than I expected them to. Photos can be very deceiving/misleading when it comes to straps...sometimes

Thanks for the info...do any of you have any pics of your baseball strap...broken in???

this is getting good

I just received my Europelli baseball strap in the mail today and it is indeed a superb strap...high quality and very soft...and the service was very fast and friendly. The question I have though is are these straps supposed to be an orangish color. This may seem like a stupid question but the picture of the strap on the eruopelli website shows a natural tan color and the strap I received today is more orange than tan. Is this how they look prior to breaking them in? Any insight would be appreciated. thanks.

That's a great story and it always makes you love your reps that much more... Though I thought getting called out was someone calling out your rep.

As I was searching around for a 14060 sub, I noticed that TWG and Angus have many of the same photos of this watch. Is this common for dealers to share photos? I would think not, although the watches probably come from the same source.

Looks like I'm back to the drawing board. I saw this semi-mount about 6 months ago and really liked it so I went back to the store to pursue it about a month ago and they didn't have it in the store so they ordered it for me. When it finally came in, the mount was in 18k white gold instead of yellow and the price nearly doubled on the ring (in both white and yellow gold). They claimed the price of gold went up since I first saw the ring 6 months ago.

Saw this and thought fake because of the sub dials...not a omega pro so what do you guys think???Fake???

Right on, it's about time

Yes, this strap is very stiff to begin with but breaks in nicely.

I recently got this strap for my Seastar 1000 and now I can't take it off. This is an amazing strap. Any one familiar with the German strap company Di-Modell?

Perhaps this is a stupid question but why wouldn't you just select a watch that already has lug holes and drill those to the right diameter? I've never heard of anyone giving a watch lug holes that didn't already have them before.

Thanks for all of your great responses. I wanted to know some opinions on Jewelry Stores in malls vs. jewelry districts? I found this great semi mounting in a family owned jewelry store here in San Diego but it's in a mall. What do you think about buying loose stones at a mall jewelry store vs jewelry district jewelry store. Any suggestions? Thanks

I don't know much about EXPII (though I had one from abay) but I do know that the rehaut on the gen is more at a 90 degree angle with the dial face and deeper...the rep is more slanted and shallow...my vote is GEN.

I agree about the IWC...just noticed how huge they are...I think that's my next...

Thanks for all of the leads.
