Rolexman Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Yah, I fitted my rubber strap yestarday.. it took some effort to get the bracelet of. But I made it... yeeeehaa I tried to get the bracelet off but when I noticed how hard it was (dispite all the right tools and experience) I just gave up! I was too scared of ruining the springbars. The holes cut out in the end links are just so damn small and the springbars are heavily bent! That's the main reasons I'm holding back on the rubber Henrik, would you be so nice to post a wrist shot with the rubber fitted. A close up of the fit between the lugs would also be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A close up of the fit between the lugs would also be great woke up this morning and there was a little animated man on an envelope from thailand about to put it on now Edit. Its on now and it feels good! A lot more sturdier than the watcheden rubber and the buckle looks really good with a deep engraved omega logo. Good job Reg!

Limestone Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I followed that example.. I must say, it was harder to get the bracelet off, then installing the rubber strap.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilDavey Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Can't wait for mine... I've got two ordered (1 Orange Bez, 1 Black bez/Orange no's) and a black strap, just waiting for Narikaa's return to the UK. ...I've not been in the rep game long, two months tops. I'm hooked! Wearing my Speedmaster Date now, have my Yatch Master in my case and have a Grand Carrera coming in the post. Can't wait for these POs to join my modest start to the rep world... Thanks to RWG for opening me up to such wealth of knowledge...I don't think my bank manager will be so gratefull by the time the year is out...I know my wife won't be!

miagi Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Just got mine in today. was really fast shipping as it was resting at the post office for a couple of days. unwrapping; hands shaking of excitement. - lots of tape and bubble wrap to fight through. Inside (in order of appearance): two velvet bags - complimentary one rubber band. - to be fitted the orange. two cleaning cloths - complimentary two watches - orange and black/white. result: :D :D :D this has to be the most value i have ever got for my dollars. amazing first impressions. smooth screwdown of crowns on both watches. bezel turns smoothly. rubber fitted with ease (technique described further up this thread) i can, with so many of the previous posters recommend narikaa's PO's to anyone. this is the stuff! i know we all love photos..but i dont have a camera at the moment, and this has been well documented by several others. - but i like to add that it looks so much better in real thank you narikaa!

miagi Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 my twins...R thats the awesome combo! I guess rhack1 sold a lot of watches for narikaa by starting this thread and keeping it fresh! a sincere thank you, rhack1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted May 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 a nice value watch...that was the original intent of my initial post...and the watch was inducted into the Chrgod bargain hall-of-fame thread...cool... TO ALL: RE the RUBBER STRAP --> i have the watcheden black rubber strap ordered and delivered before Reg offered his current batch...Reg's strap looks better...mine seems to be verrrry stretchy and marks easily...nowhere near the quality, texture, firmness as my Breitling Skyland Diver Pro...can someone who has the Narikaa strap comment on it in relation to the Diver Pro and/or just comment on the firmness, quality, etc in general... thanks...R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say though I think narikaa rubber is much better than the watcheden one, mine seems to be very sturdy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackR Posted May 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 @numptyj --> i agree...i love the orange bezel on black rubber...i plan to keep the black bezel on steel... i will say, that getting the pins out of the ss bracelet to put this rubber on was tough...i had to have my son help hold/pull to get the darn thing off...and i'm using the right tool, too... the watcheden strap isn't as nice as my other rubber straps -- like the skyland, oris carlos coste, UN or Slevin...soooooo - i just ordered one from Reg... definitely a sexy combo - the orange on rubber...

opti Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Ok, Got around to taking some pics last night, after a few tips from the photgraphy forum. I want to thank Reg, this is my first rep, he is a true gentleman. There was a minor issue (the bracelet), but he got it fixed in no time and at no cost to me. Thankyou so much Reg. Great service. I love this watch!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
