valerian Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 One year ago if somebody had told me I would in future wear a watch like this I would have laughed in his face. I'm really not a sports watch type of guy. But all your PO-threads have worn me down (i.e. the POs have really grown on me) so I have ordered a POrikaa. And since I love to do right once decided to do them I ordered the orange version. My girl thinks I'm crazy but I love it very much. Sorry for another pic of this model (and a bad one at that) but I just have to boast a little! BTW shortening the bracelet was a piece of cake. Just get the right tool for it. Comments are welcome, of course. Val. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valerian Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hi Deniz, I just meant that Narikaa's price of 65 GBP is a discount price for such a nice looking and well made rep. For shortening the bracelet I used this: The seller is in Germany, should work nicely for you. Uhrmachwerkzeug Take care. Val. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valerian Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 No Deniz, not a UPO. This is a POrikaa. Much cheaper, more flaws but excellent value for the money. See here: Narikaa's zone Val. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 That bracelet resizing tool looks much too short to push the pins completely out. How did you finish pulling the pins without scratching up everything with pliers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerian Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 That bracelet resizing tool looks much too short to push the pins completely out. How did you finish pulling the pins without scratching up everything with pliers? Hi Used somethin' like this this: Once the pin is half way standing out you can fairly easily grab it and pull. No scratching at all. For putting the pin back in I used a small hammer first then the tool shown above again. Worked perfectly. Kind regards Val.
