@ Breitluc

Where did you order it at?

 

[Breitluc]

From Ken, I ordered two.. One has the brown cut-out, the other black. He's trying to swap the one with te brown cut-out for a black one as we speak. Ken is a really nice guy with perfect costumer service, I can really recommend him

 

[goatrider]

??? Within the same order??? That is strange. BTW who is Ken? I was thinking about ordering it from toro...

 

[Breitluc]

Ken a.k.a psychospike. You can email him at [email protected]

Six 'o clock chrono did not reset on Safari with the black DW. Have you noticed?

 

[slaughterer62]

My 6 o'clock was wandering when I got the Safari. All I needed to do was press chrono reset and it stay put.

 

[rolexwatchfan]

Would that be an issue with the "updated" 7750 in new J12 Roo's?

 

[goatrider]

Message sent Looking forward...
What are the "updated" 7750? Does the safari have one?

 

[slaughterer62]

I think all new ROOs have updated 7750s. A faulty cam on the chrono hour totaliser is more a problem of movement assembly. It is one of the more difficult parts of a 7750 to assemble, BTW.

 

[Breitluc]

Yeah I know but I don't use the Chrono anyway

Guru, how much is that strap from Jacob, and what specifics do I give him to get this exact strap? I gotta order me one!!! LOL

 

[jamztio]

And now I feel I bought too early. LOL.

Lol. We've all been there mate.

Order placed, QC approved. The waiting starts...

Just replaced the crystal on my Safari. The crystal on these SIHH 2014 is smaller and thinner than the standard Noob 42mm ROO crystal. It is also more firmly placed in the bezel. I believe this new JF crystal is 32mm/1.8mm, but correct me if I am wrong. After differences in strap fitting, now we have differences in crystal geometry.

 

[goatrider]

What crystal did you use?

 

[slaughterer62]

I actually used a Diver crystal, LOL.

Yes, taking it apart, I was impressed by how well the caseback was machined. There are no rubber washers on the bezel screws, BTW, on this model. Changing crystals on these SIHH 2014s will be a bit more difficult for people.
