Nice smoke! Greetings from a fellow cigar aficionado.
I was actually going for something completely different, and I switched my mind at last minute but I was not sure. Honestly the more I see the strap, the more I like it and think it make a nice combo....let's see how it evolves with time. I will keep you updated for sure my friend :thumbsup: !!
Mine is from Trustytime, whatever TD you will choose, it will be ok. At least I know that with my version, originals parts ( as the lug tubes ) fit perfectly.

Gorgeous watch and strap. Have one on order after seeing these shots.
Has anyone seen this watch with the blue dial? Seems they don’t make the gen bronze with black dial anymore. I’d love to pick up a blue version as well!
Here’s a photo of the gen in blue with bronze bezel. There’s also a blue ceramic version.

Yes I've seen it. (Gen one that is)
First thought was that I like it. But when looking longer you really miss that the markings on the dial are not filled in.

Not if you let the patina form naturally. It will darken quite evenly. However if you force patina with salt in the markers, they will form more green. But that will be a process of trial and error.

Thought I would share my experience with you guys.
SSW09 bought gen screws and replaced his 'plated' ones.
I did a test with his 'plated' screw and tried to force patina on it. (Thanks again mate)
This is how the plated screw looks after an hour suspending above vinegar fumes. Next to it is my bronze screw (non forced patina). As you can see, the plated screw barley got darker. So it's definitely different and the little dark discoloration can be just whiped of.
Good news is that I was able to force the green patina with salt. Now it can match the case without being obviously different. ( You have to be careful though, as the green oxidation doesn't really stick to the screw. It's pure cosmetical)
After looking everywhere for a set of tools to change straps on this watch and not willing to pay premium money for a rubbish dedicated kit, I decided to buy proper screwdrivers as all you need is 2 x 1.3mm hex
Bought those two Wera and I am delighted with the quality for very few pounds (found on Amazon - I am not affiliated with Amazon or Wera)

Glad that it works for you. But didn't you receive the tools when ordering the watch?

Hi Mate ! very interesting indeed ! especially the one with salt, I will certainly experiment myself very soon, and no, I do not have any feedback on the case screws but I will also investigate.
Will send you a PM to further exchange ideas on the patina. cheers
I would like to see this one repped:
this one is super nice ! I think there are good chances to get a rep very soon....
Good morning I just read 15 page and dont find mi answer, Could you tell me a thrust selle to buy my bronze bell and ross please
it was already answered : go the TD ( trusted dealer ) section, and choose one from there : mine was bought to Trustytime but they are all selling the same watches ( jtime, puretime, supermirrors, intime etc...)
