True. I really need to stop browsing watch sites! I've already seen a good 5 or 6 I have my eye on.

Congrats! The 299 is an amazing replica. The ONLY differences are very fine points on the crown guard that are too small to notice. Also the edge on the gen bracelet has a bevel that is slightly more square. Everything else is virtually identical. As far as the straps... I echo Mysterio. Dont even bother to worry about the price. An expensive strap from Dirk, Mario Paci, or DiStefano (Simona) will take your super rep to the next level. You will forget you are wearing a rep.

Thanks. Had a couple of issues yesterday. DHL decided to send it back to HK for reason I or they don't know. Hopefully it should with me today. Hope there's isn't another mess up today.

I've bought a brown leather strap in the M2M section. I'm going to have a look at a custom strap in the new year.

Well it's here! Haven't had a chance to open the box yet as I've been called into work. Couple of hours and I'll post up some pictures.

You will be shocked at how heavy and solid the 299 feels. Enjoy!

Just wanted to say thank you to all who has helped! Sorry for all the newbie questions. I'm getting better, I've done so much reading my brain is starting to hurt. Can't wait to get home and have a look.

Really happy. Can't believe the weight of it. Here's a few pictures take with my iPhone. I'll sort some "better" ones out tomorrow.

hows the case back? if im not mistaken, the model number has a big different layout compared to the gen?

Looks ok to me, don't really care what the back looks like as its on my wrist. No one will see it. [emoji1]

Here's a picture anyway.

The strap I bought from the M2M came today. Love it. Can't believe how different it looks.
