Friends,
Today i received my favourite watch back from a (great) service maintenance by Vaccum.
I also received my first amazing Tootall strap.
I have decided to give you some pics and tell a little replica story
The purchase
In march 2006 i discovered http://www.ioffer.com and i bought a 217.
I didn't know anything about reps and paid to much ($ 430,-).
The watch arrived and i was happy with it:
Straps
I discovered this site and read about all the straps geeks!
First i thought it was stupid, but soon i orderd my first strap from strap-works.com
It gave the watch another look.
Broken glass & repair & modding
Like everbody's fiddy my mineral glass cracked!
I was really pissed of!!! :evil:
Soon i discovered you could buy an DSN sapphire and and the watch could be fixed.
I sent my watch to Finepics in London, he modded my watch.
Now the watch has amazing superlume, fixed cannon pins etc etc...
Mario Paci
In the meantime i bought a lot of other reps and discovered the straps from Elliot
I bought my first MP for this watch, and i sold the strapworks strap.
This MP strap looks amazing on my vintage brevet radiomir by Flavor Flave.

Dead Movement & repair by Vaccum
3 weeks ago my movement went dead. :shock:
I contacted Vaccum and he offered me his service
I sent the watch to the US (affraid of Custom problems) and received it back today.
Dealing with Vaccum was great, communication is top of the bill.
And most important he repaired and serviced my watch
I am seriously thinking about sending another watch from some modding (more fun!)
Tootall Strap
I started to like the Greg Steven - Crazy horse.
A few weeks ago i saw the straps from Tootall, and they look amazing.
I received a B2 from Tootall today, and it must be said it is the best strap i have for my fiddy!
The leather is amazingly soft and it looks stunning!
Dealing with Tootall is very pleasant, the price/quality of his straps are amazing!
For my next pam strap i will first contact tootall :lol:
Enough words, here are the pics:
Pics of the watch and strap :
Conclusion for about this watch:
It has cost me way to much :twisted: (buy a DSN fiddy, no modding needed !!!)
It has tought me a lot
It has been a lot of fun 8)
It has been in countries i have never been
I love it
I hope everybody likes this posting, have fun !
