mad_man_may Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Mine is coming from Josh. My Watchboys tan strap arrived today in anticipation of the 005 arrival! Great value for money, it even has tubes in place! Tell me more about this strap. Would love to see a pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I will post a pic when the watch is wearing it. You can find them on ebay. Its a nice thick strap and for £19 you can't really go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maulermacall@hotmail.com Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Ordered mine from Josh, the quality of the watch blows me away. The lume is as strong as the gen and the crown lever is crisp and tight. It's restored my interest in reps, i don't miss my gen 005 as this looks and feels like the real deal and it's a couple of grand cheaper! It's a stunning watch that doesn't need to be modded, all I need is a nice OEM strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic2me Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I ordered from Purewatch. Supposed to be shipped today but not updated yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfovco Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I wonder if the Chinese movement can be replaced with this ETA 6497 http://www.ofrei.com/page1201.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmurphy926 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I wonder if the Chinese movement can be replaced with this ETA 6497 http://www.ofrei.com/page1201.html Sure. Maybe need to swap the cannon pin, but that's not hard. That's a lower beat rate movement than the Asian, but 6497-2s are hard to find and expensive.

Virgil Hilts Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 can someone give a detailed, shot-for-shot comparison of this with the gen? I haven't bought a straight gen in awhile, but this one has me interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanya Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Broke down and ordered one from Josh today even though I have to many damn watches. Maybe I'll sell the ubder FGD 201A afterall Looks great though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Hawkes Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Man this watch looks super nice from all the pictures. Didn't want to go back to Pams but with this.. Does anyone know if this has the same "problems" as the 177L (6497-1 movement instead of 6497-2; flared crown so you can't waterproof the watch)? Was thinking to get the Ti, but didn't because of this.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanytical Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 You really lucked out on this one. The lever looks flush with the cg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
