Got it from Ryan this morning. i had been waiting on it for a week! when it arrived it was dead! of coarse it did, happens every time you look forward to something that much:facepalm: opened it up there and there was a screw lodged into the balance wheel. took it out and it lived again :)

 

FC parts arrived a few days before and i just got done swapping them.

alot of reaming required but the end result is pretty nice!

 

Before:

 

fake carbon. looks hideous!!!

 

just took it out of the plastic

Final thoughts:

 

my 8MP camera doesnt do this watch justice at all!!

FC parts make a huge difference.

strap feels okay, it is comfortable.

the watch has a lot of presence, not sure if the straps need grey accents, it pushes it a little overboard IMO. you guys think there are any other strap options ?? :wyliehelp:

Awesome looking watch bro. The strap is subjective, what works for one may not work for others. The gray accents don't look overboard compared to say if you used a strap which had the same highlights as the dial.
