Duzza 182 Posted April 24, 2015 Mine arrived today and I have to say its a classy piece! For those wondering the hinged caseback isn't sprung at all, unlike the 2824 version. My first high beat Miyota, very nice, lovely smooth wind and great sweep. Does anyone know if the caseback (not the hinged door) is screwdown or pressure fit? I have a smudge on the minute hand I need to remove! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted April 24, 2015 That's great news, the gen isn't sprung either so couldn't understand why they did it on the 2824 rep, I can't wait for mine now, I think the fiancé is gonna make me wait till the wedding to have it though!

The strap it came with takes the all time award for the most awful, horrible piece of plastic ever created. It takes the all time award for the worst strap ever created. The strap in the photos is a gen alligator strap I picked up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted April 24, 2015 Ah dammit, I like the easy remove spring bars though, dammit, will have to get a replacement and cut the holes! Is it 19mm lug width same as gen? DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duzza 182 Posted April 24, 2015 Yes 19mm. Though I think a strap would have to be made around the quick release bars. No way your forcing those in a strap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted April 24, 2015 Oh ok, shame but it is what it is. Do you mind me asking where you sourced the strap, I really struggled to find a 19mm strap with 18mm buckle, they were all 19/16!! Thanks in advance and sorry for the bazillion questions, lol, anyone would think I was a noob :P DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the time being, yes, but based on what I've seen this far possibly not indefinitely. I have, however, already had a PM to that effect!! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it could be a snap on job but I don't want to risk damaging the case finding out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks in advance and sorry for the bazillion questions, lol, anyone would think I was a noob :P DC The rep buckle is 16mm so that may not be a bad thing tbh. Obviously the rep deployant is 18mm but I'm not that keen on the fit. The strap was custom made by a seller on eBay. It was cheap. £35 inc postage. It's genuine alligator but it's nothing to write home about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
