Great review Gran, and a lovely watch - thanks for sharing!
So, is the Asian A07.111 different or the same as the Asian 7750 that typically comes in these?
Although its not truly Ceramic, if one wanted a black Diver (i.e. DLC), it would cost muchhh more from a modder - plus time - then the $100 premium this costs over the SS Diver :-)
As stated, you can have someone fix the needle cheaper and locally. Try a mall repair center island maybe?
Secondly, as my buddy Edge pointed out - there is no rep XS strap. Go to AD!
