When I see some nitpickers here (not only in this thread but everywhere) I understand why rep now cost nearly double of what we were considering super-rep 8 years ago.

Quality went up, but people rejecting watches for these kind of "problem" doesn't help the TD lowering the prices.

I should get me Gray dial today if DHL decide to deliver this time (they skiped 2 days for "weahter problem"... Guess they never seen 15cm of snow in Canada before.....)

Nice. Bezel pearl looks good on that one. Bracelet and balance wheel are still wrong. Balance wheel doesn’t really bother me, so I’ll get one as soon as the correct bracelet is available.

I'm tempted to try. I much prefer rubber straps to bracelets anyway.

Let me know if you do so, I prefer this strap over the new strap.

Received mine late last night (dhl works up to 10PM!)

It's quite frankly spectacular!

The dial has a great radial sunburst (which doesn't catch today with bad weather :p)

Congrats Vric! What are your views about the pearl?

It exist in real life and look better than the retail version, but it's a flaw.

i had a black one 2 months ago which I liked, but not enough to keep. This gray one is a keeper I think.

I received my AquaTerra strap today. It's a NO GO for the SMP. The lug hole are not aligned and it's impossible to work them in.

The OLD SMP rubber strap can be fitted with 21mm curved spring bar (I did it on my black one) but you will have a nice 10-30 minutes of joy fitting it in.
The holes aren't aligned either, but curved lug make it possible to reach them (AT strap is too stiff at lug to do this trick)

Thanks for trying. Any pics with the SMP rubber strap?

Thanks for the feedback mate, yeah omega rubber straps always give a give minutes of good fun to install them.
