mondeov6 0 Posted November 26, 2010 Just bought this sterile cheapie from e-bay. It is a nice watch with an 17-jewels Asian 6497 movement (handwind). Black dial, blue hands and blue numerals. A few things needed some change though..... First the crown guard. In my eyes the "original" cg was plain ugly on this watch... in fact, plain ugly period! Strap was "okay" but typical for a cheapie, stiff and a bit uncomfortable. Altered with a few items I allready had laying around I think It now looks pretty good! A much smoother and better looking strap (from Getat), a slightly larger buckle and of course.... a new crown guard! This one was 10$ (from Jackson Tse). What do you think? The lume is no way near "super lume" but it is okay. Thank's for looking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mondeov6 0 Posted November 26, 2010 Really nice Mondeo. Is the replacement strap black or blue? Congratulations! Wear it in good health Thank's Aren!... the strap is black, but now that you mentioned it I think it would look even better with a deep dark blue strap. Must look for one! :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dendo 93 Posted November 27, 2010 Lightly improved maybe - but a little goes a long way. Good work - it looks good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
