Here you have the gen with white logo:

So the rep is fine, no flaws (except the usual ones)

I agree with you: HKtan straps are amazing. I have 4 of them (for my Volcano, my Grey Themes, my MH and for my Safari) and all of them are stunning. Best quality/price ratio in the market. I never had issues with Aaron; in fact, one time I didn't receive my strap and he sent me a new one. So his sevice is top notch. Some people has concerns about he's not using metallic bars, but I don't see the point to have them because Aaron's straps are extremely well manufactured and the strap stays firm connected to the case (the one used in my Volcano has 3 years of use and it's in perfect condition).

Wow, good news!!

Now, I'm impatiently waiting for the A7750 DW run  

Like this one?

OMG!!! I can't believe nobody has commented yet!!

Congrats and I hope you can make the Bumbemblee case

yes aanival, could you post some pics of your watch please? the dial pic posted by Fleet is from a Silver themes no from the Safari.

Some months ago I had the same issue with 2 bezels of my APs. They scratch very easy! I decided to repair them instead to buy new ones and the result was awesome. I removed the bezel and then I purchased the finest sandpaper available in my area : 600 for metal. I put the sand paper in a flat surface and then I passed the bezel in 1 direction (following the bezel brushed lines). After some 6 passes, the bezel was like new!!

Goodcheapman sells lots of springbars. Using a pair of pliers you will be able to cut the springbar, then you must to remove the internal spring, in that way you will get the tubes (like shown in my last posted picture).

Hello, yes I transplanted the rep buckle to the aftermarket deployment. You only need to build 2 tubes (cutting a springbar), like in my last picture posted, and then enjoy your new mega ultra comfortable deployment!

The rep buckle fits perfectly in the alternative deployment. Just go to the link I posted before or find the ebay store of the seller goodcheapman. The deployment must be 18mmm.

your welcome!

You can find the deployment in ebay (HERE). They are cheap and very good quality. I have always bought from the same seller and all transactions had been flawless. I think you can ask him for a polish one... mmh I will buy one polished too

You will need also a springbar to do the mod. You will need to cut it in two pieces of the same size and put them here:

It is very easy to build one of these and I really don't understand how the other AP fans can use the crappy rep buckle and feel it comfortable.

Hi, I had the same problem than you some time ago. I tried everything and finally I decided to buy an aftermarket deployment. Take a look:

The deployment is very very comfortable, 1.000.000 better than the rep. Nevertheless. a few time later and not satisfied with the look of the aftermarket deployment, I decided to create a franken deployment combining the rep buckle and the aftermarket one. Here is the result:

I did the experiment with my Volcano, my Grey Themes and my Montauk Highway. I'm waiting my Chronopassion (unfortunatly with Francisco ) and my just recently bought RB II updated version, to do the same thing. With this franken deployment, the fit and look is perfect in your wrist.

YES!!!! and I think the modded watch is mine!! thanks Uwe for do it possible

Here you have some QC pics received from Andrew last monday.

and what will be the right color for the pushers?

Mary from watchinternational, got for me an AP case and and AP SS bezel.

me too, I bought a gen rubber for this one

A gen rubber!? does the quality of the gen worth the investment? and may I ask how much cost one? and how do you get it?

thanks

congrats for the watch!! I'm waiting mine too, but before to get it, it is in route to Francisco and Uwe.

About the strap personally I think the best match is with the rubber.

wow, amazing!!

I received QC pics today for my Silver Themes and Chronopassion. Both will go to Francisco for service + Uwe's double AR + Uwe's cyclops. I hope they will be in my hands at the end of may.

Sorry, but something is wrong with the 10 (hour marker). It seems number 1 is missing some black paint. I don't think is a light issue, because the issue is on all your pics.

I have the same deployment than Andy and it's very very very comfortable. Sander, I don't understand why you're said the deployment is terrible.

sorry, double post

both watches loo awesome!! congrtas!! the Silver themes looks perfect, not issues at all with subdial@12!!

It's funny, I ordered both watches too 1 week ago. I just received the QC pics of the Silver themes, but they're not so clear like yours. May I ask who is your dealer?

thanks

hahha, let the guy do whatever he want; but later please don't come here crying because you were scammed.

Personally, I prefer to buy from trusted dealer here (RWI and Repgeek too), because if something goes wrong (watch DOA) these dealers will respect the warranty.

eeeeeehh... looking at the second pic, the edges seem to be polished...

@wax: where did you buy the bezel? and how much did you pay? I need to buy 2 bezels.
