Sure thing.

Firstly, a bit of background how the watch came into my possession.

It was a gift from my wife. It's not something that I would buy for myself. But the wifey is the type who buys things simply because she likes them. She was at Mandarin Gallery one day and walked past the AD, this piece caught her eye, and she came home with it, saying "Hi baby, I've got a surprise for you!".

I was touched to say the least. Of course I didn't tell her how it has an ETA movement inside, or that the brand is pretty new or any of the other 200 reasons why one should not logically buy one of these watches. But it will always be with me and I'll always wear it with pride.

Having said that, looking at the watch in isolation, it is very nicely finished with interesting details. A bit too much of an AP RO copy of you asked me. It's got the similar tapisserie dial, the general case shape, the way the strap attaches to the watch...etc.

The quality of the croc strap is quite outstanding. As good as or even better than a rose gold RO strap. The lume is very good too for a non-sports watch. The 24-hour marked bezel is rotatable, so you can read 3 time zones at once.

Ok, enough yapping. Some quick pics with the phone cam.

Love stories like this! I'll say she has great taste and she chose the 3 timer, can bring overseas for the GMT without fear of being recognized like your explorer 2. I love this particular model for its sunburst like design. Very unique. I nearly bought one myself.

Guys, I ran into some trouble when changing straps...

I got a strap custom-made for my PAM392...it came with the metal tubing where u will usually slot in the spring bar...

So my hand was itchy...i took out that strap from my PAM 392 and tried it on my B&R with the same lug width. When I tried to remove it from my B&R now, i realised that my spring bar tool now cannot reach the spring bar itself as the metal tube is blocking any form of access...I have tried my best with all the small tools that I have but i can't get it removed...

Do you think watch shops like K2 can help? I am not sure if my explanation is clear but am at my wits end now. Can already spot a few scratch marks on my casing already due to my 'efforts'...

Can any kind soul give suggestions? Will be very much appreciated...thanks in advance!

How did you get it on in the first place? It isn't screw in like the pam right? So basically there's no way you can access the springbar?

Unless you can cut the tubes without hurting the strap.
