docthor Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 As most of you know I've been a sick flipper the past years. It seems to me that this "phase" is over now... My collection contains 9 reps now from which 5 are with since more than 6 months now...feels like I really made it Therefore I'd like to share the pics I made just now from my latest purchase... A very nice 243 on a rockin Elephant hide strap from PhillyRock... I already ordered swiss 7750 for my Panerais and try to source a swiss 7753 as well as a gen dial for my 187. Since reliability always was my biggest concern it was a good idea to have all my reps with swiss movements. No problems since and I doubt there will be some in the near future. And I bet this is one of the reasons why I don't sell them. I won't get back what I invested so I keep'em 1
mule play Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 Personally speaking, elephant hide is not right under any circumstance. 1
docthor Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Posted February 25, 2016 So an elephant is more worth than a crocodile or a snake or even a cow? How comes? Sent from my wooden drums via Tupperware
Mike on a bike Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 Love-in that one Doc! Maybe an old elephant that just died..............
docthor Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Posted February 25, 2016 Well...as far as I know that's exactly where the leather for these exotic straps (have two wildebeest too) comes from. It helps the animal parks to survive... Sent from my wooden drums via Tupperware
nass Posted February 27, 2016 Report Posted February 27, 2016 Great pics! I have just received my 243 from the forum and love the look and feel. How are you getting on with the cyclops, in my oppinion it has been a bit of let down for me would be great to hear your oppinion. Best Nass
docthor Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Posted February 27, 2016 Well...my first experience with these cyclops (was with my 087) was like...meh... But I learned that that's the way they are and that they are great under water. Makes somehow sense since it's a diver but on the other hand...would it be ever necessary to read the date under water?? Sent from my wooden drums via Tupperware
indywatchguy Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 Nice piece! 9 reps? You're just getting started my friend! I think I'm in at around 15? Enjoy to the max!
