Nightwatch Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Fifty Five Fathoms - project on Brady sailcloath strap finished:) thx Mike & community for all the tips
Mike on a bike Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Your welcome, where did you score the dial?
Nightwatch Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Dagaz had no dials in stock and picked up all pieces from Yobokies http://forums.watchuseek.com/f30/fs-custom-fff-modding-parts-new-lumed-glass-bezel-inserts-available-784063.html, think he still has the silver ones. The watch simply looks great in person:) was well worth the while.

mtbkr65 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 I just recently purchased the Prometheus Sailfish in the black and can vouch for it being a solid well built timepiece! Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 1

Mike on a bike Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 Thanks, always good to hear first hand.
chad Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 As you can see from the original post and a few i have seen around here in NYC in the wild, they do not sit on the wrist all that well.
whoever Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 On my way but out of budget for the moment! So far my first personal modding....
TVG Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 Now on Brady sailcloth Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk I'm rather impressed. I personally like it more on the sailcloth. 1
mtbkr65 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 Kyranmcc, I like the bracelet but it's nothing special, my intention was to put it on the sailcloth from the beginning. It will be the closest I get to the genuine fifty fathoms! Lol Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

fraggle42 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 Now on Brady sailcloth Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk No lume on bezel? That is a big letdown and has knocked my purchase of one of these on the head Anyone know if you can lume the bezel insert? I know the lume isn't anything to write home about so would probably get it all superglued anyway. Grr, bleedin autocorrect. Superlumed!
mtbkr65 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Posted March 4, 2014 Fraggle42, mine for some reason doesn't glow as it should and yes you can have it relumed, best to have it applied to the bottom of the bezel insert Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 1
jpz5142 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Not to bring the thread back to the topic but..... Can someone tell me what the lug size is on the Blancpain? It's staring to grow on me
Mike on a bike Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 Damn JP now don't start talking about the topic everyone will get confused.
TVG Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) Not to bring the thread back to the topic but..... Can someone tell me what the lug size is on the Blancpain? It's staring to grow on me I'm 98% sure they are 23mm. Damn JP now don't start talking about the topic everyone will get confused. Confused me for a second to be honest. I read the thread title and went, oh... haha Edited March 5, 2014 by TVG
fraggle42 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 24mm + razor blade = 23mm ends Easy peasy, and your finger tips may survive as well if you're careful.
markiemark Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Posted March 6, 2014 24mm + razor blade = 23mm ends Easy peasy, and your finger tips may survive as well if you're careful. Im not a fan of shaving straps...
fraggle42 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Im not a fan of shaving straps... An electric razor man eh? Given the choice of a shaved strap or no strap, I'll take a shaved strap. Shaving 0.5mm of either side is only visible if you look closely if done properly and finished off, done it with a little 22m strap in 21mm case lugs.
