The material is very soft and pliable unlike the Tactical Frog version which is stiffer and less comfortable on the wrist.
The strap is absolutely the perfect length for my 7.5” wrist…

I purchased the same black/grey version from AliExpress as well for some variety. Probably closer in colour to the original…

Haha I’ve given up trying to get anything out of them. Shame as I love the watch and the original strap.

Not sure my sewing skills are up to the challenge! And you shouldn’t have to do that 18 months after purchase with minimal wear. Just as well I love the watch ;-)

One of the things that attracted me to the original blue FXD was the lovely striped fabric strap that came with it. Whilst it’s not the easiest to use, once on the wrist it melts away and looks the...
I agree. Yet this ‘Seiko’ Milsub build seems to be quite popular FS : MilSub Homage

Pretty sure it’s 32.0mm. The SKX cases take a 31.5mm crystal

No. It’s a very good aftermarket option for 6105 builds. I have one in my Rdunae Willard…

Thank you yes I may do. The AM minute hand is a tad too white and glows slightly unlike the rest of the handset which is slightly annoying.
I love reading www.adventuresinamateurwatchfettling.com...
Oops well in my wisdom I put the NOS hour hand on last night, the best AM minute hand I could find and cleaned up the second hand which wasn’t too bad so this is where I’m at…

I’m a sucker for vintage turtles and earlier in the year I managed to acquire a lovely birth year 6306-7001. It’s all original which is great aside from the manky hands which I was looking to...
Tried a 32.0mm flat back mineral dome from a Cousins. £1.50 will spent...

I'm not actually all that keen on the meniscus appearance of the stock crystal - would prefer an acrylic dome or even a flat OEM Seiko Hardlex. I was thinking of trying a Sternkreuz high dome 31.5mm...
Like many, I was sucked in by Spencer Klein’s infectiously enthusiastic review of the Rdunae 6105 homage on YT. It is indeed a superb recreation of a classic watch and I decided to upgrade the dial...
Thanks guys - much appreciated. I’ll give Bodo a shout and see what he thinks it’ll cost to service and repair the date change. It’ll need a new crystal and seals as well as the existing glass shows...
Forgot to mention - the date wheel also refuses to budge, but I can change the day for some reason. Not sure if this is relevant...

Apologies in advance if this has been covered before. I recently acquired a rather beaten and battered Pepsi 7548 from eBay...

Mine seems to have been held up at Heathrow for 4 weeks now. At the risk of sounding picky is it me or do the end links look slightly too small for the Speedy case...?

How long did you guys wait for shipping? I ordered the US1171 and PCL bracelet on the 15th July and it is yet to turn up. The COVID-19 effect maybe?

Does anyone know what episode it was? I can’t find it on BBC iPlayer

Loving the top one is it a custom mod on a SKX007?

I should chime in here since I'm an optometrist and practice owner in sunny old Essex. The 'air puff' test (or, more correctly non-contact tonometer) is notoriously unreliable and prone to erratic...
I've been a fan of Mayer's music for a while - well before I realised he was a fellow watch nut. I admire his passion for horology and I like his sense of humour, but John clearly has a 'problem'...
