  1. That OEM brown strap looks like the one I have that tore. How much is he asking for the black one? $140 is more than I paid for the rep (used), not looking to drop near that much on a strap.... That black is beautiful!
  2. Wow, nobody here is willing to help a guy out? The strap that came with it looked fine but it must have been poor quality because it tore all the way across where it connects to the watch....
  3. I am looking for a Big Pilot black strap, with the buttons, not the crock strap. Anyone lead me to a good rep strap for a reasonable price?
  4. http://flashbook.reproscangroup.ch/clients...l/Flashbook.swf For those of you that haven't seen the past and the watch lineage... this is a great read and has pictures of their beautiful watches.
  5. I have had a nice looking Panerai Radiomir sitting in a watch box for about 6 months.... It is a copper color and has 4 L-Shaped posts that hold the strap. Well, 2 of the TINY screws that hold those posts have fallen out. Where can I get a few screws for this thing? HELP!!
  6. First off, may I say in the most cordial way.... DAMN YOU ALL!! You have all slowly continued to get me addicted to watches!! I miss the days when I viewed a watch as a simple thing to tell me the time, and the only thing that mattered was that it didn't cost too much so when I banged it up I wouldn't care and that it was waterproof and could handle some G Forces.... sigh... Those days are long gone, and it is all your fault... DAMN YOU!!! LOL... <chuckles> Anyway, on to my true questions here. I am slowly accumulating various reps, and slowly becoming more and more willing to spend more and more on them.... Did I say... DAMN YOU ALL!! already? Oh, I did.... OK, good.... So, now that I am beginning to accumulate some reps, some good, some not so good... I need a few items. First of all, my dresser top is starting to look like a scrap heap of watches, I need a case. Nothing fancy, don't want to spend watch money on a storage case, but I certainly need one to protect the watches and keep them organized... and to "hide" the growing numbers of watches by not making them so obvious to my wife!!LOL I am hearing this more frequently.... "You bought ANOTHER WATCH!!" LOL, I think I am going to record it and post it one of these days!! The second thing that I need is some basic tools for switching straps, dang, some of those straps are pricey!! Did I say... DAMN YOU ALL!! recently, no? Well OK, now I have!! What I am cursing and thanking you all for is getting me into this great hobby. I got a great comment on an IWC Schaffhausen I have been wearing for a few days, and it is a kewl to connect with other watch appreciators So, suggestions on where to get a case and what basic tools would you suggest? I am not yet into modding watches or getting into that side, but I see my OCWD (Obsessive Compulsive Watch Disorder), kicking in, and I probably will start modding watches at some point. First thing first... lets just start with changing out straps and giving me the ability to take a caseback off. I found this on eBay... garbage? basic starter set that is ok? http://cgi.ebay.com/Watch-Band-Strap-Remov...1QQcmdZViewItem And a case like this? http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-20-UNIT-WATCH-CASE...1QQcmdZViewItem Give me your thoughts and comments please....

  7. Oops, only got part of his name: Hans Magnus Lie.... F16's, F102's, F80's.
  8. Here is a link to one for sale, by the way, only $100 http://cgi.ebay.com/POLJOT-russian-SHTURMA...Q2em118Q2el1247
  9. Norwegian Air Force? You didn't happen to know Col Hans Magnus did you?
  10. Is that a special order watch? Only through the AF or can you get it direct? $3291 USD
  11. Oh yes, a few more. I like the Sinn 757 And I like the Graham Chronomaster And I found this Omega Carrera and Speedmaster, not specific pilot watches, but I like them: Of Course, the Spitfire is very nice:
  12. LOL, I actually have one, and that is the watch I wore on my last deployment to Baghdad Didn't care how beat up it got, and it can take the abuse Another decision to be made is which of these 3717's? Probably both at some point!
  13. OK, so here is the list of suggestions so far: IWC 3717 Flieberchronograph, ETA 7750 Valjoux IWC Big Pilot Breitling Navitimer Oris - (What Model?) Rolex GMT Master Bell&Ross (What Model, is this really a pilot watch?) Rolex Explorer (I or II?)
