Hobbit, support you :) I'm sure Taiwan's streets have a lot more stuff to shot ;) Enjoy and do share!! btw, X100 is a good street-camera... just have to get used to the focus (it's rather slow (hunting) in low light)... you can also turn the camera to silent by pressing (around 2 sec) on of the button below the main wheel control.. can't remember exactly which one.. in case you wanna be in a quite-mode ;)

Enjoy!!

Scott,

Thank you. Will be looking into working with James (Wotancraft) on getting another case done up for the X-100. The current case is not very 'ready to shoot'. James has a very interesting holster he had designed for the M9.

Hey Hobbit, don't poison me like that :) I'm actually looking for a custom made case for my M9 ;) Yeah, the x100 case is not really that nice that's why i have it nake..more sexy ;) Any chance you can help ask how much it cost for the case (for m9)?

cheers!

If you comfortable with it,  just go ahead ;) most important, you get what you want at the right price/service  :thumbsup:

Bought my little cousin a Ben 10 timekeeping device. I put it on just now, and I must say looked übercool with the 60mm dial for a moment there.

So, in the nutshell, the finer things in life does not have to be the most expensive or exotic item or place one could have.

Yo Landy, Nice strap there with the ExpII   :thumbsup:
Planning to wear mine on nato but could not get my tool to fit in and remove the spring bars...
Maybe I need a more smaller tool...

Thanks bro! Agree, the black face ExpII looks good with a black strap. NATO will be excellent too  :Cheers:

I use a Textile/Leather one, but got a Brady strap on the way for it. I use a spring bar tool from Gnomon, no problem to fit.

Nice, great to see a Rolex not on the bracelet. More info on the strap please.

With the love for the Explorer II, this begs the question, Everest vs Pan Am. Hence a new thread.....

Seeing landy's exp2 on strap makes my fingers itchy for a new strap.
And knowing my style, I will have to do it the proper way.
OEM Rolex 16mm pin buckle... found it... cannot bring myself to click on the checkout button...  :HammerHead:
Aaarrrggghhh... have.... to... resist....  ;D

Sorry Hanz, what is OEM again?

I'm thinking the same thing myself, just wondered whether rolex has a buckle? especially like your Zenith clasp?

OEM is Original Equipment Manufacturer.... i think...  ;D
Original lah tu....  ;D
There is a clasp that is like the Zenith one but it only works with the Rolex Original Strap.... yeah... i know...  :HammerHead:
And the clasp is only equipped on brand new leather strapped Daytonas.
You want one? I ask around... Rose gold? Ready to fork out 9000+ including strap...  :o
Solid gold? Almost the same region... and most surprising of all, stainless steel... can't find any....
Pin buckle is 16mm in size and I checked around for straps that taper from 20mm to 16mm and none look nice enough.
If you're still keen, maybe I can get 2 and save on shipping? (cheapskate move)
Or I can PM you the place... :thumbsup: and you have a look...
