You must be joking their (OXF) pearl/triangle is not good

The OXF pearl is lousy, but I was thinking of a GF pearl swap.
The OXF hash markings are better positioned as gen.

Following the advices given, I've bought a gen. strap and replaced the buckle by a deployant one ordered from 12 o'clock.
I'm quite happy with the results, here some pictures:

if you google “how to change a watch strap” you should find a video. you will need a tool. buy a good one.
take a photo before you start so you will put the buckle back in the correct location

My wrist size is small: 17,2 CM / 6,8 INCH. This watch isn't wearing to big at all, at least imo.


This watch is a beauty with a rubber strap and bracelet. I decided to buy an original strap and deploy. And then I decided to buy an original bracelet.

Well, I also bought original box and set of papers.

IMHO, the GF bracelet has a very good aesthetic quality. Just the fact that the adjusting screws are not in the same position on both sides can give it away. For the rest is perfect.

Regarding the finish level, when a link has to be removed, it is observed that internally the metal does not seem very well treated. But I insist that it is something that is not seen, nor is it noticed, when it is worn.

Hi there @p@t where did you bought the watch and the straps? I really love this watch.

I bought this complete watch incl. bracelet from a RWI TD, Lucy - Truetime168. Due to they way she works it took a VERY long time but I'm happy with the watch.

Hello P@t. Lucy's customers know as you do she is not fast but she is always forgiven when you open the little brown box to see the best Rep she can find.

Hi. Where did you find a gen strap and deployment buckle?
I'm looking for the same for my SOH.

Thanks

I bought my strap and deployant on AliExpress (not fast). Be careful on the deployant if you want the slide adjustable version. They are priced $80-$100ish. The cheaper versions are OK but nowhere near Gen quality.
