Is this a donerix strap? looks awesome, cant tell if the stitching is brown or yellow though.

It is not only the look, but as well the extraordinary comfort and quality of the strap, many times better than any custom strap I ever saw.

True. the deployment clasp on the rep straps are a bit sharp and I had to bend mine a little bit so it doesn't scrape my skin.

Looks great mate!

 

I've received this baby yesterday, thinking about buying a Donerix strap for my new baby

go for it man!  get a custom strap. : ) - is the watch a V6? im assuming it is! it looks awesome.

Alternatively you might think about getting yourself a gen strap. IMO the best choice.

+1 on this. gives the watch a more gen look.

Although getting a custom made strap gives the watch a unique look, and the quality of donerix's straps are superb. : )

Just wanted to share my finished Hublot project as I am very happy with the final result:

 

HBB Black Magic V6: Bought from TT ( Andrew )

 

I got it serviced by a local WOSTEP Certified watch maker. She works from home so she agreed to do a full service.

Took a month for the full service but she did an amazing job!

 

I bought the Strap from Donerix, Black Nubuk with Red Stitching.

 

Overall I am very pleased with the result. Took some photos earlier today, please let me know what you think.

 

 

 

 

 

wow - really nice collection!

Without trying to sound like a stuck record here, but please simply stick with our TD's.  You have no need to look anywhere else for your reps.

I would have to agree... Not worth the risk experimenting with new dealers.

Thanks MD

She is very personable and cute, i'm assuming in her late 20's but married and has kids though. lol

she got her cetification 7 years ago and my HUBLOT was her first rep job. I was surprised she took the job but was very happy at the same time.

I was initially going to pm you for the service but I stumbled upon her online and found out that she's local.

I haven't found anybody that does lume jobs in Canada though so you are the perfect guy.

I'm planning to get my oceanographic 4000 relumed soon so I will PM you.

Is the watchmaker a hottie??? I would give my left nut to find a hot women watchmaker i could settle down with and make beautiful watchmaker babies with lol

 

oh yea and the watch looks great.

I like the Lava Better. good contrast for sure! is the dial gen?

wow awesome web store!  been searching for a good site where I can get gifts for my wife. 

@KB, where do the items ship from?

awesome thread, I'm in need of a winder myself.  Don't TD's carry something similar?

really nice!

nice photos.

nothing beats andrew's customer service.

woah $325 for a piece of rubber? I can use that spare cash to buy another rep once i've gotten a proper watch smith around my area. i've been looking at AP bands and I think that only the orginal rubber looks good on the V3.5

So i guess youre still looking for a watch smith that would work on reps huh?, I would assume that there are many in Singapore because it  has a bigger city setting. Good luck with the search man.

There is no XS strap, you have to get a gen strap, if I remember correctly they are about $325 or so. 

All reps have issues, be it dust or some small imperfection. It's unfortunate that manufacturer's and dealer's QA is still quite in stone age. Unless you specifically ask dealers nicely to do extra QA for you they will not bother, and you really have to ask super nice, worked for me on my last purchase from Trusty.

I had the same experience with TrustyTime - Andrew is willing to help out as long as you ask nicely.

Sorry to hear about losing your job man. You should move to Canada.  

Props to SSTEEL for extending a helping hand, this is indeed the friendliest watch forum ever.

Good luck with the job hunting man!

The Dry Wax Lube stops bracelets from having the tinny rattling noise, making them silky smooth and more gen like. It will also reduce wear in the long run. It's a cheap and effective treatment.

It doesn't have to be TF2, any dry wax lube from your local cycle shop will do

thanks for the tip!

Its a nice watch BTW. I like gold, I might like this one better with black leather strap.

I have seen a few on here i just cant remember what brand of watch. Yeah, that would be awesome if you can find out ! It will be an additional knowledge for us! : ) thanks!

I found a Lorus watch at work a few months ago so I put up a notice to let the owner know it had been found but no one ever claimed it.

It was only last week I pulled it out my drawer and started wearing it.

 

It's nice to put a gen on every now and then

 

Enjoy it it, it's a nice looking watch.

hey ceejay, since youre taking horology and watch making classes, do you know the history behind the number four - on classic watch designs like this one?

its IIII  instead on IV in roman numerals.

What does the TF2 do? just clean it or does it somehow improve the finish?

I didn't know you can order XS size strap????!!!! When did they start doing that???

I want one for my tiny wrist as well

I was wondering about this too. never encountered a seller offering the option of switching strap sizes.
