Dave123 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Thanks to Chieftang for sourcing me a flawless gen dial,and thanks to bollobandit (member of another forum) for having it shipped along with his and getting his watchsmith to install it for me before i head on vacation,he had mine done ahead of his,a true friend and forum member,i appreciate it....i know he lurks here..... The gen batons dial looks fantastic,an awesome upgrade over the rep dials with the sloppy lume of course,the rest of the watch like the bezel and pearl are fine in my books,i added my gen ocean racer strap to the watch,this is going to be my 'holiday beater' from here on..... Bollo didn't think the blue dial would go well with the black OR strap,i think its great myself,blue straps look like garbage IMO..... What do you guys think,my pics are not the best as lighting today is not working with me........best i can do here....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Congrats Dave. If there is anyone on these boards who deserves this particular watch and mods it is you my friend. And yes, blue straps look like a*s unless they are quite dark. A really deep blue navy croc looks great on the right watch but the Breit rubber is too light IMO as you seem to agree. In any case enjoy the watch and wear it in good health! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Decided to try out my gen Pro2 on it and i must say,back in the watchbox that OR strap goes...i will this bracelet on it and buy a new Pro2 for my white bling version... A few wristies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanytical Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 It's nice to see what it looks like on the OR, as I never got around to putting the rubber on mine. I think the Pro II is the winning combo with this dial color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbieG Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Dave what size a guy and what age group are you BTW? SA's tend to wear best on pretty big dudes that are younger. Love the watch but despite my fairly large 7.5" wrists they look a little silly on me. They look some cool on the right wrist though. I think you have to have at least a little Hollywood/movie star potential going on to pull the SA off. I'm in my 40's I'm 5'9" and 160lbs. I kind of have a semi-gaunt-racoon-eyed-strung-out-nerdy-heroin-addict-set-the-alarm-for-the-London-open Eurotrash look to me. The SA of course doesn't really work for that. When I think of the SA I think of a kind of hip-overnight-millioned-late-20-something-6'2"-200-pound-club-owner-with-4-girlfriends-and-a-custom-chromed-out-Hummer-with-a-42"-plasma and a mini bar in it. Well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Awesome. The pro2 really does the trick.... in fact, those pics are inspiring me to get up the nerve to wear a Pro2 on my wrist! Looks great, Dave... Enjoy Mexico.

Dave123 Posted December 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 That has nothing to do with it Robbie,not what i meant.If you have nothing to add to the thread,why post in it?... Did the wife beat you up again yesterday and you come here looking for a fight you can win? You seem like the type...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave123 Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) Yes indeed it does,there is nothing like the Pro2 bracelet,period. That watch ended up on a gen blue leather strap and on the wrist of someone in the states....memories....
