Anakin14 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 A number of people have said to replace the dial with a dial from Silix. However, Silix's site only sells whole watches. Does anyone know how to buy just the dial?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dovo1695 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 I can't wait to get my hands on one of these! I've been admiring the 42mm PO for quite some time now. I was heartbroken when I found out that Narikaa had sold out of the first batch in February. I can't tell you how excited I was to log in for the first time in a couple weeks to find that he's gotten a new batch! I intend to make this watch my daily beater. As a result, I'm very interested to get my hands on a spare SS bracelet. I've seen that other people have asked the question elsewhere within the topic but I have never seen an answer posted; perhaps they were answered via PM. I thought I'd raise the question again because doubtless there are other noobs like me out there like me who would like to get a spare SS bracelet and don't know where to look. Thanks, Dovo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakin14 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Does anyone know what calibre this watch equates to? I'm thinking of getting some genuine parts for it but I want to ensure they fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 i just got to work today and my orange bezel model was here!...it came last friday, 5/8 (i wasn't here friday)...shipped to the USA/NY on 4/26... looks great...i don't have my black bezel one to compare it directly, too...but looks to be identical...perhaps a slightly difference caseback design -- but if it's different, its ever so slight... only complaint...the blue sticky protective film left a nasty residue on the bracelet endlinks and clasp...will have to get that off...blue'ish AR tinge is the same as my black bezel model... all in all, another great watch... love the orange color...it stands out, but without a lot of fanfare... i plan to have my local jeweler size it -- as i did with my first PO...definitely have someone with a press and the tools size it!...after sizing, i plan to put the watcheden black rubber on this one...my rubber came awhile ago while i was waiting on this one...gonna leave the black bezel on ss and put the rubber on the orange one...

Noddy Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Got my orange one today in the Eastern US. Looks great! Heading downstairs to get my sizing gadget... Thanks Reg! Broke BOTH pins on my AF pin tool!!!! I've sized HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of watch bracelets!! This one wasn't the worst but I've never broken a pin on this tool before. Had to make a new one since there was no way I was waiting on ofrei to send me spares! Watch looks great and even the mrs. is impressed which is not easy to do. Okay, a nice Omega Seamaster GMT is next on the list please Reg... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noddy Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Caution: One of the pins at the clasp end of the bracelet - sorry don't have it in front of me so can't say exactly which one - is not secured by an internal sleeve and slid right out on my example. I'll probably dab it in CA glue or maybe some 5 min epoxy and hope to make it a permanent part of the bracelet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limestone Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I must say... I had a little trouble with my PO first day of wearing it, and I had to take it to the watchsmith to get it sorted. But Narikaa steped up and compensated me. He Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limestone Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Just out of curiosity, what problems? Well the clasp fell apart... Probably becuse they put a to weak or "under dimensioned" pin on the friction-tube (don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helius Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Anyone knows if these are still in stock? I sent Narikaa an email 5 days ago and still no reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numptyj Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Anyone knows if these are still in stock? I sent Narikaa an email 5 days ago and still no reply. 5 days and no reply that seems rare. I emailed him the other day about 45mm PO's and got a response within a few hours.

Pottdog Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I emailed him last night & got a responce this morning...... I ordered 1 Orange and 1 Black/White cos I couldn't make my mind up... At one point i was going to get all 3 but am putting the money towards an IWC Aquatimer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blerkselmans Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Ordered my Orange bezel and Black bezel/Orange numbers 8 days ago. Arrived today. Broke 2 pins (while using the right tools), I'm glad I ordered 2 watches so had some spares. I couldn't choose when I ordered, and now I can not choose which one to wear. Changed my watch 3 times the last 2 hours. Reg is always pleasant to deal with, will surely buy from him again. Thanks! Think I'm going to switch back to the orange one now....
