jm_brc_7057 it came! The dial is gorgeous. The only real con I can see is the crystal is very slightly domed, which I personally am not a huge fan of due to the reflections it creates. However the blue of this dial is incredible, and FKF knocked the execution OUT OF THE PARK IMO.

majwilliams0308 it looks fantastic buddy! It’s a stunner. Nice pictures btw. Amazing skills.
I don’t remember the crystal if the gen it’s a long ago. The dial looks pretty close though. Does it look like enamel to you when in hand or?

The dial does appear to be enamel to me, the way it has different hues in different lights. Very cool watch, probably one of the best blue dress watches in the market.

I've confirmed that gen does have a curved sapphire, just like the rep. No surprise though, I think FKF had a gen YG enamel model for reference.

Very nice. What TD may I ask?

That sounds good buddy. You’ve found a gem there. Enamel also has a little shine like a piece of porcelain.

Yeah then it’s like the gen. Maybe it’s the AR coating that is not so good?

The dial for sure has that porcelain shine. Really cool.

There is no AR on this. I probably won't pay for a 2xAR... I've gone a bit too crazy with buying them recently haha.

Hi all,

Just ordering a 5177 (FKF Hobnail), however I cannot seem to get the strap measurements, been trawling the internet and had to throw the towel in and ask.

To my understanding the gen uses 20mm at the lug with 16mm on the buckle. Would anyone be able to confirm this is true for the FKF?

I've seen previous rep reviews from 3-4 years ago stating the reps then had 18mm on the buckle so just being cautious here.

For full transparency, why do I ask before the watch is in my hands, those tempting black Friday sales.....

Any help here is genuinely appreciated

Sorry for the late reply, made a few other purchases, so tend to have a few weeks off after - keeps my other half happy :)

I haven't ordered it yet actually, I actually picked up 4 different straps for it though....weird logic! I'll sent the TD I use a message this week as want to get this and another rep. When I get it, I'll drop you a pm!

Can anyone confirm the strap sizes. Is it 20mm-16mm or 21mm-16mm? Thank you

They're 20mm lug width

I'm selling mine in the sales section with the Hirsch strap I bought to replace the rep one so I'm 100% confident about the size.
