The exact same day after receiving a replacement tube screw from Mary for my SS Flightdeck yhat i have previously lost, here is what happened... No bang, no shock, no dropping it.... Just happened... :(

That is too bad because my new strap from panatime just suits this watch to perfection!: it has a slight burgundee tint that fits very nice with the whitre face dial.

I am trying to source a back cover from Mary now...

thats exactly how I stuffed up my flightdeck cas 50mm.

When you say tube screw, ur just talking about one of the chronograph buttons with the clip and spring yeh? Hope so, I need 2 newies

Mary seemed to be sceptical about the fact that they have a tendency of breaking the back glass. I just forwarded these pictures to her. Sethgun, do you have pictures of yours?

As for the screw and lugs I was refering to the tube holding the strap to the watch.

No I dont have pics of mine but it was my fault; I dropped it when I was taking it off to show someone...damn. Im trying to chase up some parts from Mary or Rochest now, just waiting on a reply.

Is she sending out a new one, or replacing with a newie?

No, I have never seen any TD claiming it was saphire. Would it be feasible to replace it with saphire?

Ahhhh dude it just occurred to me, is the backing on its way from Mary, or are u paying from it? I have a spare brand spanking new pne from the uboat I bought leftover for the carbon dial.

Keep me in mind incase it happens again or u dont get it, Ill just send it to u for special price of $0.00 ;)

Im getting pretty much the exact same pvd with carbon fiber from Mary & Rochest as well, then modding it from there to a flightdeck silver bezel, like on the uboat site.
