That's exactly what I'm having done but bezel swap, relume the lollipop, black date wheel swap on the 779 with blue bezel.

I really like the SRP rubber strap. My only complaint about it is that Panerai looking buckle on it. So I switched it out to a basic Z22 buckle. Mo'better

The end links were both mangled to shit but I got them straight, and the clasp wouldn't stay closed... kept flapping open with normal wear. So I tried to gently pinch the two flang portions of the clasp and the whole thing folded like a an empty beer can. Not what I expected for $90.
So now I need a 20mm Seiko clasp. Any thoughts? I'm pretty sure the MM300 clasp is 18mm
I will see if I have one. But ping Harold about it. My Bor is great. And so was the one before it.
Harold came through so I felt it was necessary to post this.
Although he gave no indication after our correspondence on the matter, like magic a new clasp arrived today with $7 HK shipping.
Given Harold my business in the past and will continue to do so.

Got my first hardlex scratch recently - I've never seen it with the three MM300's I've owned.
It's deep, pretty visible. I like the flat hardlex look so might just wait to do anything about it.

Crystal Times offers a flat sapphire in case you want to go that route

I have a local watchmaker - how hard would it be to install and keep the same WR?

Haha no, more like if it doesn't measure up its probably improperly done and will leak in a pool eventually.

Installation for a watchmaker would be cake. I know Duarte was also carrying the flat sapphires and he tests to 10ATM so 100m which should be plenty

Anyone know if there's a plexi crystal option for these? The hardlex makes the dial look kinda dull to me.

Pretty sure there's not but it'd be worth messaging Alex at CT. I'm sure if enough people would be interested to make it feasible for him to make he'd do it. Sure, it's not sapphire but there are some who want a hardlex alternative that isn't sapphire

I was impressed with the super jubilee I got from them for my recently departed 009.

If the end links fit correctly it might be a decent option.

Still in the honeymoon phase with my Yobokies BOR but that President with ratcheting clasp looks great. Anyone tried that style clasp before?
