Could someone please explain or show through pictures how exactly the bezel locking system works.

U see those lines? It’s the top locking mechanism... u basically squeeze that in and it flips open.

fania123 · 31 October 2019, 08:26 PM

Interesting watch, but I can’t see myself buying one.

1William · 31 October 2019, 08:30 PM

I am enjoying my P01. It wears very nice.

timepieceluvr · 31 October 2019, 08:33 PM

As an update, I asked my AD to see if they could fit a bracelet on and was told they were unable to do so without some significant modifications.

I love the fact that this thread exists. Cool watch.

fskywalker · 1 November 2019, 12:16 PM

That's a beast!

Lumberjact · 1 November 2019, 07:39 PM

“The Claw” sure is an interesting timepiece, but I think it’s not for me right now.

Have a good day.

Any more incomings? Any more sightings?

petay993 · 6 November 2019, 07:32 PM

It has not hit the UK yet, they were hoping this week but my AD next delivery is Friday so fingers crossed that it lands

Ian Macdermott · 6 November 2019, 07:39 PM

Popped into my AD last Friday for a coffee and catch up, not expected until Decmber now. However I was assured I will get a call as soon as one lands.

Can you change straps also easily on the P01? Love this watch

petay993 · 6 November 2019, 09:15 PM

Any aftermarket strap will have to be fitted to that first Stainless Steel link and it looks like a 20mm will be required. Distressed military green canvas is my first thought!

Even people who hate the P-01 have to admit that is a GREAT looking dial and bezel

No idea what the alternatives are yet... I can figure out how to take it off but not sure what can be put in it’s placed.

Looks to me like you could replace the strap with any strap with a matching lug width. Or a straight end bracelet like a milianese, shark mesh, etc. There are some third party oyster bracelets out there with straight lugs as well.

The first “link” that goes into the “shroud”.... not sure how that connects but if it is also via a removable spring bar then Black Bay bracelets and old 5 digit Rolex beacelets may fit since they use the older style of separated end links where the first true link goes into the end link with a little extension, rather than the new style end links that are integrated into the first bracelet link.

This is why a Black Bay 58 bracelet can be worn on vintage subs or vice versa (eg. I wear my 58 on a 93150).

The guy thinking he could stick his Explorer I bracelet on there... nope. That won’t work.

Mine was delivered in the U.K last week, couldn't pick it up Saturday so picked it up yesterday. Must admit while I do love the watch as of yet I am a little unsure over the strap. Would definitely prefer this on a fabric NATO. Hopefully soon I will be able to get one.

I've pondered the same thing. From pictures, it looks like the North Flag bracelet might be able to attach to the end-links on the P-01. If so, the brushed NF bracelet would go very well with the brushed metal of the watch.

If the NF bracelet fits, then so would the Pelagos rubber strap.

Speaking from a point of zero experience with this particular watch, if you remove the strap from the links (not the links from the lugs) which I assume is fitted via spring bars and reinsert the spring bars back to the links, can you not just run a nato through them the same you would a normal lug watch?

Congratulations, as a matter of interest, which AD Group supplied?

Tried this on today and it was not for me!

Was not an AD group. My AD is a family jeweller with 2 shops with my location expanding to include a Rolex type boutique area.

This is what I a man going to try. Spring bar holes are smaller than normal, under 1mm so will try again tomorrow.
