@Uwe : I think I would be happier after a relume, Guru is right, it's probably the only mod which is worth on this one.

But first my Ingie and VCO : they DO need lume, unlike the BB, which has a fair one.

@Pix :
for the BB : gen Ocean Racer strap : 50€ + rep deployant (40$)...a good solution
for the lume it's the only mod to do, for the pearl easy fix

Mine : serviced, relumed, waterproofed to 10 ATM...

Tonight I'm wearing this one : HE glued, waterproofed to 10 ATM (added a gasket between the 2 parts of the caseback)..next step : blue reluming, some white painting on the bezel... :D

Yannou, some dealers would be selling the clasp alone ?

That lume looks fantastic, I want the same !:D

I understood that the fix of the pearl is only possible if you already own a BCE... You won't get the pearl alone, will you ? If yes, I'd go for it in a minute :)

The pearl is not fixed to the mark so you unscrew the mark and you can mod the hole on it... :wink:
For the OR, 40$ bands + deployant so not a bad deal isn't it... :D
