Oh I'll throw some up for sure. I really want to figure out how that guy with the malio "macchia" strap got his patina. By far the nicest patina I've seen yet.

She's landed. I have it on vintage ostrich leg from panatime. I intend to get one of malio's straps too. But I'm gonna wait until I get a little bored. In hindsight I should have gotten a longer strap. My wrist is almost 10" in circumference and I'm barely in the keeper. The watch itself is absolutely beautiful. Don't pay any attention to the shots that look like brass. It's not yellow in the least. It looks like light copper. It's beautiful and so unique looking. It has the feel of a high end watch. The bezel is incredibly smooth and solid feeling as it rachets it's way around the dial. There is a tiny amount of play when its stopped, almost imperceptible. I have no regrets at all with this purchase. It looks so much better than in pictures. If you're on the fence about this one just buy it.

For me the stock strap was tough to pull through the buckle because of my gorilla wrists, it's stiffness, and thickness. The buckle on the stock strap is also nowhere near as nice as the buckle on the new one. It felt less polished and smooth to operate it. Where as the strap glides through the panatime buckle. I wish the stiching was the same green as the dial. I might take it out and manually saddle stitch it if I can find some strong green cordage. Another thing is the power of the lume. This is the only rep I own that is close to my gen breitling in terms of lume. It lumes up very fast and bright. Only downside is it does fade fairly fast. Not sure what brietling uses but a flash with a tactical flashlight makes that sucker glow for like 15 minutes or so. It's kinda rediculous how good it is.

Anyone here with problematic movement? Mine has to be slammed hard to make the movement starts. LOL

My rotor spins like crazy every now and then, but so far it's working fine.

Mine showed up moving and hasn't stopped yet. Hopefully all is well.

As a side not this is the first replica to actually turn my wrist green lol. I was sweating pretty heavily yesterday and when I took it off there was a faint green outline by thr left edge and near the crownguard. Obviouly it's because of the bronze but I liked the irony of it. I slept with it on last night so I could test it for any allergies. I seem good to go.

Here's a couple of wristies of my 382 with a SNPR XMAS Strap and bronze buckle. It actually took me a while to warm up to this watch but the more I wear it, the more I'm liking it.

Sead says there's a new KW batch through. Keen to see if the brushing on the bezel is better.
