Re: New Prospex divers to be released in 2016...
I can live with the Strapcode/Tungchoy prices, but their shipping is absurd. I can't use the mail (no such thing as residential delivery here), and they want $48 to use Fedex. When Creation Watches can DHL a whole watch to my apartment in three days for $29, Strapcode's shipping is BS.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

Re: New Prospex divers to be released in 2016...
Just snagged a 779 off WUS. Now need to decide on BOR or Jubilee.
Re: New Prospex divers to be released in 2016...
BOR. no doubt.

Got the 779 just now and can safely say both shades are the same!toxicavenger wrote:The different shades of blue throws it off for me.

I was thinking about what a 773 bezel swap with a 779 would be like.
You would end up with:
Blue dial / pepsi bezel (PADI style )
Black dial / blue bezel
I can get behind the double dome as it's an improvement to the original aesthetic and will do this eventually... I would do this mod/swap to both then if convinced.
Problem I'm having is the 773 is just so damned perfect all dark blue I'm not sure adding the pepsi dial to it would be an improvement?
Black dial with blue would be cool but I think it would end up getting sold whereas I might be more inclined to keep both in their original configurations.
I think the only alternative is to buy another 773 and 779 and selling the blue bezel on black dial 779. You'd end up with two blue dials and one with a Pepsi bezel. The blue-on-black would move quickly to parlay the funds. Might as well add a crystal to that one, too, just in case you decided to keep it.
It has been done and looks fantastic.... Wish he kept the blue on black instead of swapping dials even though his sunburst mod is nice:
Must be that the lighting was off or the contrast against the red threw it off, but they are a match for my two watches.
Just sent Duarte an email for the bezel swap and crystals.

Re: New Prospex divers to be released in 2016...
This picture captures the two well. Even this low-light shot the 779 blue looks a tad brighter, but when you cover the red part with your thumb it's an "ahhhh there it is" moment when you press the bezels together.
Re: New Prospex divers to be released in 2016...
Does anyone know the reference for the silicon strap and if you can buy it? This thing is amazing for the price. Almost want to buy the 777 to source another.

I agree I really like this new strap. Hell I like better than the older tuna strap.sierra11b wrote:Does anyone know the reference for the silicon strap and if you can buy it? This thing is amazing for the price. Almost want to buy the 777 to source another.

Is that bead blasted or is it the OEM finish on the case?r.palace wrote:Just saw this on WUS
Harold's work. Quoted me $45 for the bead blast and $150 for DLC.
Never had either mod done but I'm assuming that pricing is in the ballpark.
Really love the look but that's a lot of coin to invest in this watch. Will consider it down the line if this one stays.

I'd like to see one that was just DLC'd, not bead blasted.
