Are they as thin as gen?? I am thinking not since the increased cb thickness to accommodate 7750, correct? Wondering how thick this guy sits on the wrist. I know the actual dimensions, thanks to the OP. Cheers!

That's a handsome watch. For what it's worth, my wrist is 6.5 and the 47mm 508 fits well.

There's a bloke even does gunny copies for £30! I've never had a genuine gunny strap but bought one of these gunny lookalikes off eBay and they're good quality. Even though well branded named straps are very good quality, your still paying a big premium for that name just like with the watches. No leather strap is worth $175 upwards for the small amount of leather that is used. This is also just my opinion. [emoji106]

Agree with you,
Don't get me wrong....there is a difference between "cheap" leather straps & named ones.
But is there $150 worth of difference?
The most I've paid for a strap is £50.I bought a 74 gunny on m2m last week & it's cracking quality.You can tell it's expensive but I don't think I'd be happy paying £150 for it.I paid £30 delivered.

I'd go to about £120. There is some nice straps out there and sometimes you can't find the equivalent at a cheaper price so you have to bite the bullet. But it does make all the difference to your watch with a great looking strap. End of the day I suppose you've got to think like the rich guy would being If he'll pay $ 10,000 for a watch then $300 for a good quality strap is nothing compared to the watch price but to us it's nearly as much as the Rep cost lol!

LOL, well. I heard that the size of your arms play a role in the watch you can pull off. I have relatively large arms for my wrist size. Here's my 44mm AP Schumacher

I paid $275 for a custom gunny MI strap. It'll be arriving within a couple weeks. You can bet your sweet ass I'll provide some high-res info on it. Let's hope it's worth the premium

OP from some pics it seems that the bezel is larger then the case, but it could just be the angle. Can you confirm that?

The bezel is roughly 41.5mm wide so almost as wide as the mid case @42mm.

They are (and they are not, as you forget or you don't know that there is a Seagull version). But those made with the A7750-based P.9010 movements are thinner than those made with old A7750-based P.9000 ones.

Perfect Clones now offers a second version of the 682 (Directlink - is that allowed?) with an ST2555 movement. Could it be thinner than the 7750 version ? It is also a little bit cheaper, but from what i've read, the ST2555 is quiet reliable, compared to the 7750.
What do you guys think, which one is better?

Few nice straps at the minute but no gunny 74s in present listings you have to just keep watching his listings for when they come up. Some nice designs though between £25-50.
If this link doesn't work, his seller name is erik16780 .
Also in his descriptions it states he will make any size you want and customs orders!
He is probably cheaper than most because he is from Slovakia where wages and cost of living are cheaper than a lot of countries such as USA, UK, Etc,
This is the 2 I have purchased off him. One for the 217 and one for the RXW, (a copy of a copy on a copy of a copy[emoji23][emoji23])
