Yes. Dial is carbon. It’s a pretty cool detail. You can see it if you expand the pics.

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

Picked up the textile rubber strap from IWC website. Love the looks but it’s a thick boi that needs some breaking in.

Yeah it really helps. There are giant threads on it elsewhere, and much better ones here (including one by Joe that details what you need).

If it helps, this is what you need.

Clasp - O117STZ001154 - Quantity 1
Endlinks - O118ST1589 - Quantity 2
Pins - O128ST0166 - Quantity 2
Screws - O124ST3307 - Quantity 4

I got it from Topper (local to me), and they know all about it and sell them as a package (I guess they have had a number of requests).

:cheers:

Looks great! I'm really liking the MM300 clasp I put on mine (SPB143) - when it's on the bracelet, having on the fly adjustability is wonderful. Took about 30 second to swap clasps.

:cheers:
Thanks. I’m super happy with it. The mid case is awesome and the blue dial is sport on(for my taste anyway).
I may try not. How expensive is it?

I paid around $100 for it, from ebay - don't know if that's a good price or not. I got this one:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-SEIKO- ... OSw-89eERH~

Seller was excellent, fast shipping and came with a nice note.

I'm generally pretty mechanical, but at first I though you had to pull up on these little pins to extend the clasp, turns out you just pull back on the clasp lock. Yep, I'm an idiot.

:cheers:
