_DC_ 218 Posted December 8, 2014 So I splashed out on some new parts for my beloved 5970. First up some new shoes from who else but Donerix. Black semi-gloss padded gator hide, in a ridiculous 21/18 size (thanks Patek). It's beautifully soft, comfortable and looks pure class. I also switched out the Stern clasp (buckle) for a Calatrava cross deployant as per the gen, courtesy of WatchFinder. Together they really complete this watch IMO: So that's the good. Onto the not so good. I bought a stunning gold Patek style rotor also from WatchFinder. It arrived and I was very pleased, best engraving I've ever seen. Whipped the case back off and fitted it, it looked the dogs danglies. Then I put the caseback back on and.... doh. It's too bloody thick and fouls the caseback. When I say fouls, I mean it's wedged tight against it and doesn't move at all!! Shame coz it looks awesome.... Which if anything makes it worse, coz it looks so good but can't have it :( Let me know what you guys think! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
