Watch Modding Piece by Piece
Modding a watch can be addictive. If you are a creative type, finding just the right parts to make your very own perfect watch can be an interesting journey.?As we've covered in the past, the Seiko SKX007/009 dive watch has the most aftermarket products available for modification. But what's fun is checking out the world of watch hobbyists and small companies that produce very specific parts for very specific watches.Suppa PartsLet's take the Citizen BJ8050-08E, nicknamed the "Ecozilla." This tank-like solar-powered dive watch has a proprietary strap and lug attachment that makes sense from a functional standpoint, but limits collectors' ability to use straps with standard width ends. In comes Suppa Parts, a co-brand of Stevral/Raven/Benarus, which makes an adapter to fit the Ecozilla and its automatic counterpart the NH6930-09F (the "Autozilla"), so they can use standard 24 mm straps.

Audemars Piguet Bumblebee Strap
Hi guys! First of all pardon me for being a noob regarding this thread.I have been looking for a yellow colored rubber strap for my bumblebee, and I have no luck in finding one.Was told by Audemars piguet Singapore service centre that they do not carry yellow rubber straps for offshore.Could anyone advise me on how to lay my hands on an aftermarket one?

State of Play: Russ Crowe with speedy
Hi friendsThe new Russel Crowe movie, State of Play just came out in the Fiji Islands last Thursday. I saw it yesterday. Russel Crowe was wearing an anniversary moon watch with the gold sea horse logo on a leather strap in the movie. Lots of great shots of a great watch. It was a good movie also. Cheers

Monday��s and ADs
I got the call this past Friday that my 116500LN had arrived. I have been on the list since last year and of course the call comes when I am out of the area. Regardless, the AD held it for me till Monday. It was a loonnng weekend to say the least. The staff helped make this experience one I'll always remember and I am thankful to have a great AD to do business with. For many reasons this purchase and it's timing were monumental, however to make it even better I also picked up a gift for my father. He and I have shared a passion for watches for many years and now in his retirement and this coming Father's Day, he will have his first Rolex. One that he has always wanted.... the Explorer 1.Just wanted to share one of the best Mondays I can remember. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
