18 pieces? think i read in the thread somewhere the first batch consists of 40 pieces. is usd45 expensive for a dial? luckily i read the news of the leftover dials before i transferred 45 over. ;)
"Paladium"
well, the good thing is not only is it cheaper, it's nicer and readily available. probably can receive in a week or so. does k2 have stocks for the sznh57?
"roo7"
Ok. The extra piece is taken. Now the wait begins.

We group buy and ask him to group mod. Give good price :lol:

If rubber I think it looks good on the isofrane strap, but dunno how much is that strap. The original bracelet is quite solid too.

"roo7"
Not very sure too..... as I never ask him to change before.

Cooliend, I think why $45 is bcoz they got Harold to produce 18 pieces for the first batch. I guess cost is high for so little pieces.
"big-e-294"
My mod using sbbn007 dial. I got brand new from Rob for abt Eur30+ iirc. At that time euro was low, now euro going up again.
"sellwatch"
oops sbbn007 dial ah.. 30 euro is like 60odd.. Fwah.. Looks like gotta reconsider liao.
"big-e-294"
but it is not cheap. u r right.
"lunarin79"

"sellwatch"
I might give this mod up. Anybody is interested to take over the dial?
