Ive just placed an order for a PRO HUNTER with Trusty Time (http://www.trustytime01.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_5&products_id=9961)  who I've bought from (and been very happy) before but noticed the same watch with SSOLIDSWISS.CD offer the same watch for TWICE as much - https://www.solidswiss.cd/rolex-gmt-master-ii-pro-hunter-dlc-gold-black-ceramic.html.

The pictures looks better on the SOLIDSWISS site (and a more accurate gold coloured outer dial) but can anyone tell me if SOLIDSWISS are better watches? Ive been happy with TrustyTime?

Got my PRO Hunter (Safari) in the end and its great. The strap was ok (as usual) but I bought a NATO strap which was much better. It keeps great time (Swiss). Very pleased and saved me £18,000 that the GEN costs! 

Yes indeed, thanks - ill be sure to add that to my collection. 

Thanks - great advice about the NATO straps - much cheaper - THANY YOU

Phoenix straps made the original RAF pull through straps and the MOD NATO's, they are still in business and still make the straps. They are a little thinner than some of the more modern style, but not as thin as Chinese eBay straps. 

I'm just giving you this for information really. I have dozens of NATO straps in all thicknesses. It's fun to change them around. If your heart is set on the genuine PROHunter strap, get one. On the other hand for the same price you could have say black, grey, striped, a bright colour in webbing and a nice leather NATO as well.

Thats great advice - thanks - ill probably do that and go for a few non PH Nato straps - might even look out for a RUBBER/PVD buckle strap 

Thanks for the feedback and i will certainly check out the suggestions for the alternative NATO strap sources. Thanks again.

Now I'm reassured by everyones helpful comments (thanks) - I'm really looking forward to getting this from Andrew at Trusty Time - getting the updated QR photos asap. 

Although when i get it I'm temped  to buy this (below) genuine Prohunter NATO black strap for £70 (From The link below) so it looks more like this GEN (see below) - unless anyone can suggest another source instead of the Gen shop (http://www.discoverprohunter.com/en/)

Note sure if the reference to my email was a spammer promoting SS? If so far from it? Genuine new RWG user who has bought from Trusty Time and looking for reassurance i shouldn't have bought from SS - glad to hear they aren't to be trusted and my order is in good hands
