there is no need to remove the day/date wheels.

it does not get in the way of the new dial. it is best to leave the movement with all its parts intact.


All of you are pro in automatic mah... so bo need one lah.....



But hor.... the FFF dial bo day/date window.... so my thinking is that you can turn the hands backward when setting time instead of the usual way of turning the hands forward..... won't dat be cool... :shock: In order to do these, the day/date wheels and the engaging gears all need to be remove from the movt. And may possible enable to crown to pull out to 1 click instead of the usual 2 clicks since there'll be no more engagement of the day/date. :idea:

Hello guys. Any recommendation where to get a nice black fabric type strap to go with our FiftyFathoms? Almost similar to the original (Blancpain fifty fathoms) strap.

I dunno the unit no. but it's just a couple shops down from the Good Luck supermarket, near the bus interchange.

There is abt 2-3 shop that sells sporting goods and watches.

When I went only one was open.

Maybe u hv better luck.

K2 has a good variety of straps, leather, nato, carbon fibre, you might find one that fits the FF or perhaps your other watches ;)

Re: "Fifty fathoms" Seiko snzh57 mod
My brother just saw some SNZH57 in HK. Price is U$197. Too expensive. Shop also said that's it's a hot item. I guess they know lots of people looking for it, that's why they jack up their price. The law of Supply and Demand. I was also looking for a spare to bring for you guys when I go to Singapore tomorrow, however, the 1st I saw has some damage. The other new one is expensive. It's selling approximate. Sgd 240.

I can't recall off hand, could be a slight domed crystal. Not like the Sinn where it's flushed to the bezel.

Re: "Fifty fathoms" Seiko snzh57 mod
Maybe because the gold colour on the bezel is "too yellow". Have to see the real thing again before I decide.
