mine arrived yesterday,
slap donerix stingray strap and ready to flash it. :D

don't forget to loctite the screws and also the watch is quite loud.
it's slightly louder than my PAM 111 and when you wind it,
it is one of the loudest ticks i ever heard.

Pleased it finally came mate, looks great. Spot on with the advice too, and I also noticed the watch is pretty loud. How did you find the crown colour compared to the case, and also the dial text?

As you mention before, the colour is distinguishable.
But not so obvious.
Under indoor lighting, it's acceptable.
Since i put a custom strap, the crown somehow didn't bother me anyway :D
Maybe if i put back the black rep strap, it become more noticable.

Ah great, happy you're pleased with it. I know how long you waited.

I've switched mine out from the black (which I actually liked) for a chestnut brown Chimaera strap I got off ebay. Also switched out the screws to steel (I think this is how the gen is) although they don't secure the bars as well as the original ones do so I'll probably swap back. Will post pictures when I get a chance

Looking forward for the combo pics mate!
I am pretty sure some of the member will be benefited by the pics. So they know which strap match the gorgeous ceramic case.

I hope they do. I received a light brown rep asso today which I haven't had a chance to fit, do well post comparison shots for you guys.

On a side note I also received my 336 today in rose gold. I love the watch but have never worn gold, and my lass was after a rose gold watch about a year ago. I'm in a quandary because I like the watch for me (apart from the upside down movement which I completely missed!), but we have a 10 year anniversary coming up and it just sort of fits to give the 336 to her as a gift. But I want it too! Wonder if we could share it ha ha!?!? [emoji16]

i would not change straps too often with 292. I am contemplating buying more than 1 292 for this very reason

Enjoy
And yes, you will notice that the short end is far lighter than the long end on the asso. Not as obvious at all on the qc pictures...[emoji36] also the engraving on the buckle was skewed which was my fault for not spotting, but if waited so long I just wanted it to arrive! Not impressed at all with the strap. It's got deep engraving on the inside of the leather, but the dark leather on the inside where it's engraved is too loose and thin. Think it's a kw strap but not 100%

hmmm... which version of 292 worth buying? KW or H-fac? All the comments and debates over it makes me confuse. OMG.

It seems that this model would benefit quite alot from a better crystal and a better AR treatment of the crystal.

^ it may just be from pics but in person the crystal / AR is not noticably different from gen. I have gone back to back from wearing mine and then trying on gen to see what differences might be.

Gen asso on gen rad deploy

Gorgeous combo. That black Radiomir Deployant is EXTREMELY rare, where'd you get it from? I tried ordering one from my AD but they couldn't find the reference number!!

Haha thanks for the complements. I bought the deploy off of a buddy of mine before he sold his gen 292
