It's all good. Have spoken with Sead who said he didn't even know there was another version. Said no dealers, not even Angus, can get direct from Noob now. All noob goes through wholesale dealers. And of course, the wholesalers carry this version too. So it's all cleared up now and he's compared the two side-by-side agrees and will get me another one. Said that while the other factory version still looks very good, when you see them side-by-side almost everything is different. So I guess going through a wholesaler now is why it's so damn hard to get Noob parts. Anyway… Happy ending. Except the bit where it won't arrive before I head off to Phuket. I hate waiting for watches to arrive. I guess I'll see it at the end of the month now.

Been wearing this for the past month. Stunning custom made strap from SMP_lover. Saffiano leather with perforated racing holes.

Does anyone else think the FF would be a great match for a Hirsch Robby? Sailcloth top, rubber bottom and small racing style holes. If any one has pics of this combo I'm really interested. It only comes in even sizes so you would have to squeeze a 24mm.

I'm seriously considering this for an upcoming vacation. What color should I go with? I'm thinking the red would match the tip of the seconds hand.

Squeezed it. No problems at all. The rubber base made it fit just fine.

Hi everyone! I'm a total noob when it comes to watches and everything about it (no flaming please):blush:. This is probably really obvious to everyone but me, so I apologize in advance if this is a really silly question. Anyways, I'm thinking about purchasing a BFF, but I want it to have a SS bracelet.. Is it possible to change the one that's on there? What tools and parts would i need, and how would I do it? Is it difficult to do without experience? :nerd: Thanks in advance.

Ok let me get this straight, I need to but a T3 and maybe a T4 Torx screwdriver to change the strap.

But these Seiko 23mm springbars will fit just fine too with any strap:

And then I can also squeeze in a 24mm rubber diver's strap into the 23mm space like these if I want:

Or even a 24mm Stingray strap?

Because 23mm is such an odd size...

I think the gen lug width is 22mm but everyone seems to use the 23mm strap. Anyone know if an aftermarket bracelet or the gen Blancpain braclet in 22mm would fit?

Hi all

I've managed to lose one of the hex screws. Didn't even realise it had fallen out until I got home from work!

Anyone know where I can buy replacement screws in the UK?

Thanks

After some research. If you want a bracelet there are no rep options. Lug width is 23mm. So, your options are buy the gen bracelet (used 1,500 - 2,500 USD), buy a 24mm bracelet and file down the ends, or buy a 22mm bracelet and have some play between the lugs.

There are odd sized bracelets too, in sizes like 23mm. Wouldn't this fit?
