Nice combo with the green croc!

So I'm having a little trouble with the lugs. Because of my NATO strap, which is more flexible than typical leather straps, I'm having trouble with twisting lugs. The screws stay in with the loctite, but the lugs seem to twist out of shape, with the little silver tubes falling out. I was thinking about purchasing the panatime set: http://www.panatime.com/nesetforrawa.html

Do you think this would help?

Yes, the method was invented by Micah the strapmaker for Ristis with gen 292's, goes to show you that even gen owners suffer from this problem...

It's got to involve snipping the empty barrel of the pen and inserting it into the strap?

Mmmm... That could be useful to have a tighter fit of the lug bars. Interesting :)

I ordered the Aged Blue Marine from Bakeka for my 292:

Ordering to Bakeka was a good experience, excellent communication, you don't have to wait an eternity to have your strap made and prices are very good from my point of view... can't wait to install this beauty! Will post pics them...
Thanks Alfio!

Hi jamilton. In fact you can find them here at the forum: Supporting vendors - Strap makers.
I'll send the pics... but it looks like the strap will have to wait for the watch... I ordered to Sead there's some delay with shipment.

^ 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.

You mean, the glare/reflection on gen crystal is AS MUCH as on the rep ?
