964boy 54 Posted September 20, 2015 This all started off by thinking this was a stunning watch, many months ago. So did a bit of research and it was obvious this was the best model to get, V6F 1:1 edition with Swiss SW200 movement, the reason being, DC stated it had to be the SW200 model to take the gen strap, and after reading tanto's post of his with gen strap, this was the model required. Pondered for a few months, as was unsure of gold watches, then while surfing, came across this listing on ebay, and won the auction. Patek Philipe nautilus B76 25mm brown crocodile leather watch strap 100% Genuine. And yes, the strap drove the watch purchase. As soon as win was confirmed, contacted Toro and he manage to get me one. Old strap removed and end links moded to suit strap mounts, seems simple, but was a bugger from what I was TOLD !!! So some pics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_DC_ 218 Posted September 20, 2015 I feel like it doesn't need saying but this is pure class!! I really wish they would make a decent 5712 rep, because this colour combo in the 5712 is killer... DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

964boy 54 Posted September 20, 2015 A real beauty! What was required to make the strap fit? is it a big job? The tongue in the end links - for want of another word - has to be reduced in width and thickness to fit the recess in the gen strap, refer the metal collar in the pic Hope this makes sense.

The tongue in the end links - for want of another word - has to be reduced in width and thickness to fit the recess in the gen strap, refer the metal collar in the pic Hope this makes sense. It does.
