video is of very poor quality.

it seems as though the rotor has detached from the rotor bearing though.

if that's the case I believe it may need a professional repair, or may need to be
sent back for fixing to the dealer.

I'm no smith, that's for sure. Not really sure how the rotor attaches to the bearing.

Hi bros,

Thanks for the advices . Tried opening it up and examining one last time, the rotor was loose and managed to attached it into place - no more clinking sound now :)

shake the watch and its normal swirling sounding :)

Couldnt have done it without your valuable help and advices, just wanted to say a big thank you :)

Today I received my watch from VAC who did some nice mods..
the strap remains my only issue and I'm afraid I'll have to go OEM to find the best one...
here's one..

but it's quite expensive...

I'm trying to make my current reps as close to 1:1 as possible..that's why I ordered one from VAC , that's why I'm searching for a gen strap...but...400$?????


how much did the 1 from VAC cost?

VAC doesn't want his prices to go up in public...
It's better to directly contact him..:)

Consider a Brady strap in blue, 22mm. Here is one on my blue Sinn. At $40 each they're a great buy, albeit they need to be worked in a bit when you first get it!!

Last one is on a dark blue navy kirsch strap with lighter blue stitching ...

Got the watchboys strap today. $100 on sale, delivered. I'm very very happy with it. It's very nice. I'll get better pics later, it's hard to do it justice with pics. If your not sure about getting a $400 strap, then this is a real option. $100, genuine gator, nice amount of padding and very well made. It smells great too!

Watchman, is that a blue or black? It looks nice...I'm in the market. I really want something really glossy though...

It's a dark blue. It's already out of stock again at TWB. If you message him, he'll put you on a reservation list.

Would've went for one myself. But it's taking quite a bit of time for him to get some new stock in XL and opted for a gen strap. Gotta say, this last batch of his looks quite good.
