KeNnY 29 Posted September 7, 2011 I WAS WAITING AGES , before you started to wear that watch again !!! I always saw your post in wrist check, so I go and took a look if you wear that super Porsche. And today, I told my self, he must wear it today, I feel it, and you do ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Otek 0 Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) @Kenny Haha yes mate, missed it..the watch have some issues with the clasps and strap, but I think its an common issue with this replica..the rep design of the strap attachment makes the rubber strap too strained thus creating gaps and alot of pressure of the clasps..I strongly suggest for you to wait until they fix this issue..got a new strap yesterday but still having the same problem..I might want to think of another solution to the strap..but some mods needed to be done as it is not possible to use zulu strap on these..

Thank you Otek, so the claps will open them self ? Can you show me some pics of the problem ? I know that on the lugs is problem of the rubber not fit nicely, maybe Marine epoxy could repair that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that on the lugs is problem of the rubber not fit nicely, maybe Marine epoxy could repair that The clasps will not open it self, its just a little wobbly..i think its due to the deployment pin is nearly non existent to hold the claps nice and tight..the other issue is like you mentioned the lugs issue which should have more bend angle..I tried some superglue and it does help a little..but the rubber strap is still not "flushed" with the lugs. but..I still love the damn thing..

So you do, and sure I will do also ! What you think, gen rubber with deployment could repair the problem ? Need to ask the price from dealer. Yeah that is why I don't like much butterfly deployment, man just 2 more days and I am ordering it from Mary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Otek 0 Posted September 7, 2011 gen rubber with deployment would work I think..but im not 100% on that..if you are still ordering them, make sure you ask Mary to check the clasps pin and also the rubber strap on them..unless you have large wrists, it should not be a problem..I think for smaller wrists who need shorter rubber will cause more issues with the strap because of the pressure.

Have around 17,7cm/18cm. Ok thank you again OTEK, will do ask her to check it. And maybe to additional mods when I will receive the watch, and will know what is and where is the problem..
