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.

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 :giggle:

Look, I waited 2 years for this watch. I should've bought it as soon as the v2 came out. Seriously. Buy one. :dunno:

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!

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

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.

the suggestion was by Sconey but I can't find his post!

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. :fearlessleader:

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... :beer2::fearlessleader:

Thanks for the heads up X, unfortunately it's not possible at the moment.

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.

chrono pushers and chrono dials complicate this simplistic design imo.

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).
