condemore Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I sold my Breitling Skyland grey face to a colleague to make room for the Blacksteel. I've just received from lacenta and ... what a watch!! It's stunning and the replication is very well done. The only issue I've found is that it comes with a new rubber strap that doesn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Thanks for the cool pics !!.. the DLC is by far the best coating to hit the market .. IMO.. I used sand paper to take down the rubber .. the buckle is the correct mm size .. but the strap is .05 mm too wide.. easy to take it down a little.. then use acetone to smooth the sides again.. you can't tell after sanding.. otherwise it becomes troublesome to put on and off.. Live Strong and Wear it Well !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live Strong and Wear it Well !! Hi master lanikai, thanks for your words and for the advice. As I'm a complete disaster using the sand paper I'm afraid to screw all the band, so I've been pushing the rubber firmly and now it has sit completely. My opinion is that the older rubber strap is softer and more comfortable, but this smells as vanilla, very sweet. Regards Condemore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siesta181 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Nice watch, Condemore. If the dealers decide to DLC the steel bracelet, I would be the first one to buy it..... Wear it well. Cheers Siesta181 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colorao Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Some people out of Spain knows lacenta like dealer Torobravo. The pics are espectacular. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Nice pics! To me, the tight strap issue isn't so bad. I push it into the sides of the buckle and it lays down nicely. The little bit of struggling to get the watch on/off is worth it IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
