greg_r 81 Posted March 17, 2010 Greg - possibly of interest? http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/111259-rep-m...post__p__791699 Thanks for the link, mate - but I don't have the dough for the gen bracelet at the moment (the rep doesn't have removable links, so it's just that bit too big for most folks). I think it will have to be done sooner or later though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted March 17, 2010 I think I agree - I neeeed this watch on a gen strap in my life so better get saving lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted March 17, 2010 I think I agree - I neeeed this watch on a gen strap in my life so better get saving lol Go for a Steib bracelet as an interim measure or pick up an eBay cheapie as I did (which is still decent). Hell, stick with the OR strap, which is easily the best rep rubber strap I've ever worn. Just buy the watch - it's a stunner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 81 Posted March 17, 2010 Stop it, I don't need any encouragement Look, I waited 2 years for this watch. I should've bought it as soon as the v2 came out. Seriously. Buy one. :dunno: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 81 Posted March 17, 2010 http://cgi.ebay.com/24mm-Stainless-Steel-M...=item2ea8dcbc02 Yup - they're a good starting place, although I managed to find something a little better (that one is a bit too lightweight)...

Member X 91 Posted March 18, 2010 I'm going to have to see just how bad the plastic damage is at this moment in time... I also appear to have a gas and electric bill for c.£1k due now they've finally sorted their act out, over 2 years since I moved in so that will need paying at some point, although apparently you have as long as it took them to sort it out to pay it back, so it could be a while yet lol I'm just hoping the WM9 SD is a few months off yet so I can save up!

P_Diddy 0 Posted April 25, 2010 how easy was it to cut the rep OR band to fit your wrist size? after the band has been cut, are there still minor adjustments for wrist size? read somewhere about the chemicals used in rep rubber bands being toxic and that using a hairdryer for half an hour would get rid of the nasty chemicals, is there any truth in that? cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted April 25, 2010 1. Easy provided you take your time, use a sharp knife and don't try to cut too much off at once. 2. Yes 3. Sounds like bollocks to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P_Diddy 0 Posted April 25, 2010 I read that here the suggestion was by Sconey but I can't find his post! 3. Sounds like bollocks to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted April 26, 2010 I don't care where you read it. It still sounds like bollocks. Possibly a little more believable if we're talking cheap shit, but not at this level. Actually Sconey was just reposting something he found on another board. The OR band on this rep is indistinguishable from the gen btw - very high quality. Just quit spazzing about it and buy one.

Member X 91 Posted April 26, 2010 Better buy it quick, GC, there was some doubt recently over whether the v2 was still being made! It appears that the factory has just released some more, but given the uncertainty, I'm taking the plunge now, just in case... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have just added a new piece to the collection, pics coming tomorrow, and have spent most of my bonus check. It's OK, it will be mine one day... new or used.

P_Diddy 0 Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) chrono pushers and chrono dials complicate this simplistic design imo. Edited June 6, 2010 by P_Diddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freddy_sanford 8 Posted December 3, 2013 This is one of the threads that convinced me to get a SOH - and I got the chrono. Love it! Came on the rubber strap, which is okay but I was looking for something different to wear around when not at work. I wear my ceramic PO or PAM 237h at work. So I went NATO: 18 bucks on amazon (24mm).
