GenTLe Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hi guys, can anyone owning the latest Noob Blancpain FF tell me the real lug width (on the gen site they say 23 but I'm not sure if this applies to the rep too) and the width of the strap at lug and buckle level? Thanks a lot, GenTLe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TmeShare Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) 23 at case and 20 at the buckle. Careful with the hex tube and screw head when you change the strap and use blue loctite to stop the hex screws from loosening and falling off.

GenTLe Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Uhm... So since 23mm straps are impossible to find, should I got a 24 or a 22mm in your opinion? Thanks, GenTLe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenTLe Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 I have to: the one that comes with noob version is really short for my 19,5cm wrist (7,68inch). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesemonger Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I thought the Brady 24mm might fit from what I read? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I thought the Brady 24mm might fit from what I read? I hope so: it's the one I bought But made the order yesterday from Italy, and the watch will arrive in 3 weeks, so I will be able to put all together at the end of month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightwatch Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Hi, received the BP from Toro and still waiting for a black Migliore strap. The sailcloath it comes with will fit a 7.5 wrist on the 3rd hole for wearing at home or with care. Its very short on both sides and feels flimsy worn like that. Ordered the Torx T3 drivers, worked fine. My Brady sailcloath with 22mm and inbuilt lugbars didn´t work at all, just falls through. Had some gen-spec 22mm Rolex springbars from Cousins.UK, they are reinforced and work perfect and hold strong. S as long as I keep changing straps I use those and have put the original strap and the Hex/Torx lugbars away in a box. 22mm straps show the lugbars and 24mm ones only some will fit (with removed tubes if they have any). After trying out a black croc its on a Breitling style whitestitched shark by now that goes quite well. The watch itself is a beauty by day and night, although unexpectedly huge (width and thickness) size comparison pic to the Seiko SNZH57/FF & the lumeshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog72 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 What kind of leather strap is that Cheesemonger. I would love to see some more pics of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanmkang Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hey guys. I got the bff from toro. Lovely watch. But the bezel seems too wobbly. Even when I touch it is makes a spring noise and wobbles. This is normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanmkang Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Seems like there is space between the bezel and the case which is why it's making the noise and bezel move up and down. Is there a modder that can fix this or can you suggest a fix for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Mine is the same, but I'm not [censored] of by that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
