takashi said:Great! I am looking forward for the final result. A small paint portion on my dial is chipped while changing the datewheel. Now waiting for the crystal.
I am thinking to combine shipping of this watch with another watch or two... I can't justify spending 40USD on shipping for this 250USD watch.
takashi said:Well, airmail is very safe been using it to purchase reps from china. It costs usually 17 USD for 1-3 watches. DHL = will get stopped by customs.
takashi said:Ah I see... What is the difference between EMS 1 and 2?
takashi said:OK, i got it. How much is shipping by DHL then?

hello
i had ask factory 2 months befroe ,the factory said will be come,but not come untill now,i think the rubber strap maybe hard to make .
if the rubber come,i will show on my photo link or here.
takashi said:Just get the gen rubber strap. It's less than 100USD. Use the watch type/name and caseback number to your AD (I know it's forbidden but just in case they ask). The strap is the same for non chrono and chrono model.

Thanks hont. With the recent 1:1 UPO strap that came out I know that the factories CAN make good rubber straps. Hope that they will for this. You know I haven't bought from you before before looking through your website there is some stuff that I like. Wish you had prices up though. It's nice to see a dealer actively posting and answering questions though.
The one which costs a lot is the deployant buckle.. Get it with tongue buckle... much cheaper.TA8088 said:takashi said:Just get the gen rubber strap. It's less than 100USD.

I wish that it was less than 100USD. The Ocean Racer strap and deployment buckle is something like $350. It's pretty much the only setup that I want on a SOH. Don't know how the normal Pro Diver would look on it. I guess ok but I already have four watches with that strap on it. Like how that Ocean Racer looks. I may just end up biting the bullet and spend the $350 for the strap and buckle.
