Thumbs up for Uncle Goh.. from Seiko mods to Panerai straps all he got lobang..

tonight my friend. starting off from pre-made straps. haha. then hoot another custom again!

anyone one got any idea how much a pre-owned SMP 2254.50 now cost?
if 2k+ i can consider hooting but don't know what to do with my Tag AR cause its very similar.

Good luck finding it, I think it would be pretty easy to find it at that price. Was stuck between 2220.80 and 2254.50 but chose 2220.80 in the end because I kind of like the co-axial escapement and the blue colour that is being used on it .

^ personally I don't fancy chunky Pam sub with reptile straps. Also they are thin, imo subs need thick beefy strap.

I can't speak from experience but in theory you want tubes to allow free movement/rotation of the strap. Twisting the bar around in the quick release hole might damage the mechanism over repeated actions.

You can order from ofrei, their price is reasonable but the shipping cost is high & time can take 2-3 weeks, if group buy then can save on shipping.
