She doesn't mind me getting them, but she doesn't see the point in my having so many..
I haven't worn mine with the bracelet yet, just threw on my SKX's rubber strap for the time being as didn't have time to remove links.
I didn't feel too bad but I agree, the StrapCode is worth getting.. I have their Super Jubilee on my SKX, I may go for something a bit sharper and more 'angled' to match the case design of the Samurai.

Sooooo earlier in this thread forum member dterry offered up a fairly battle weary snk809 which he very kindly gifted to me....many thanks.
As you can see its had a good working life and was just the thing I was looking for to try my first attempt at modding.
I stripped the watch down then formulated a shopping list and ordered the bits.
While awaiting the parts I spent some time cleaning and polishing the case.
The parts arrived and I very slowly and carefully refitted all the parts... the most nerve-racking part definitely being the refitting of the hands.
So here it is finished....I hope your like the results..got to say I am quite pleased with it.

That's excellent. Creating my very own watch is something I would love to try.magpie215 said:

Grabbed a Hirsch 'Arne' grey strap for the SRPD03, super comfortable, really nice quality. Was tempted by the black and orange perforated one they do but decided on the (more affordable) grey to kinda match the dial..
Could you use the original big fat Seiko spring bars (2.5mm diameter in the middle, ~ 1.2mm at the ends) or did you have to use slimmer spring bars (I can't find any with 1.2mm ends) with the Hirsch strap? wong said:

Had to use the smaller ones that came with the strap dude, the bigger Seiko ones wouldn’t fit through the rubber unfortunately Gassing Station | Watches | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
