lets talk Jules Audemars
Does anyone on this subforum have anything from the Jules Audemars line? Particularly the Reserve De Marche. I know there's infinite RO and ROO love here but in my very personal opinion the Jules part of APs lineup is where the brand shines. Too many amazing and stunning pieces.I've been trying to find pictures of the reserve de marche on someone's wrist for a while now but haven't seen anything..
For the Breitling with gold tabs on the bezel ...
Are the tabs, actually gold? or gold plated? or just gold color plated? :)
Any personal experiences with Combat Straps?
I see they are in Canada...Straps look nice - and only a 2.5 week turnaround? That's mighty fast. My current favorite strap maker is approaching 4 months.Questions (yes I will ping the maker, but hoping for TRF reactions)- How is the quality compared with other custom shops?- Can you choose your lining?- is the hole placement same as OEM? I.e. Do I need to adjust for anything on the strap length?- Anything I should know?Thanks in advance!
SS Daytona 116520 Service, RSC question...
Sent watch to the NYC RSC and received the attached quote.The watch is a SS Daytona 116520, have all papers, boxes, etc. It is all correct parts. On the Service Estimate, I notice a few things:1. They call the dial a 116528. Is this a generic term or do they think the dial has been changed to a non 116520 dial?2. I authorized them to replace the bezel, but they seem to call it a 16520 bezel. I find this weird. I will call them tomorrow, but has anyone seen this before on the work orders?
Got the Sub-C! Interesting bracelet & clasp adjustment
Hey folks,I have a separate thread about my new Sub-C that just landed today. I am pretty stoked about it in genereal.One thing I had not anticipated is how long it is taking me to get the bracelet links and glide lock clasp set up perfectly. I have a forum friend with basically the same size wrist (we owned the same watch with no adjustment needed) and he told me his Sub-C was set up with 4 links on the 6:00 side and 5 links on the 12:00 side. So this is what I did and it was not quite right. So then I went to 3.5 on the 6:00 side. Still not right. Down to 3 on the 6:00 side. Much better and allowed the clasp to center with some room to wiggle on either side of the adjustment area.After wearing it like this for a few hours, it was too short on the 6:00 side, so I took one link from the other side and swapped it over, for an even 4 links on each side. This seems to be the perfect setup for my wrist. I can get a more comfortable fit on this bracelet than previous Rolex bracelet
