ROO 44mm FC - new strap!
I'm sure you're all tired of seeing Forged Carbon Offshores by now, but thought it was appropriate to show what it looks like with the best available OEM strap Seriously, they should've included the Grand Prix strap as the default strap for all FC 44mm pieces. Rubber just doesn't do it justice, especially with the dial's color scheme and red accents.

These birds seem to be very popular as of late and now I know why - Incoming!
Just added a Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial and this bird packs a lot of watch all in one piece. I have always wanted this bird since last year but after the initial release, secondary market just made so much more sense now. Great watch. Wrist presence is awesome and the weight is very balanced on the wrist. Accuracy is amazing and integration of the bracelet with the push-slide adjustment is excellent on the go. Faux patina is not crazily over-done and just a nice blend vs. the coin edges to create a classic vintage feel. At this pricing point, this is a wonderful piece where the past meets the future.. love it!

He is asking the watch maker if he can still get a new bezel and he's paranoid because he doesn't want to wet it thinking the lume pip hole in the bezel is going to let water into the watch case As the watch maker is getting the bracelet off to open a work ticket the man mentions to me that it was passed down to/left to him and obviously meant something to him. I thought it looked ok but the watch looked off to me. The crystal seemed to sit higher than the bezel than it should but then again I don't have massive experience with older ones but I did own an 16610LV for a while. He's worried a full service right now will cost too much but just wants a new bezel fair enough. After some chit chat I hear Can't do anything with this, it's a fake the wa
