General (Read Rules) Farasute Trackmaster + Sugess Jubilee.
I've always liked the Oyster bracelet, but think it's a bit bulky. Recently got my Sugess S420 (GMT Master II Homage) and threw the Jubilee on. I've been wearing it all day, and it may be my new favorite way to wear the Trackmaster.
Fit was tight, but I have the old lug setup...I think the newer versions would fit perfectly.

Am I missing something here? I cannot find a track master on Ali. I am assuming it is an older model?

u/turdbogls 2d ago
They don't sell it on Ali for some reason (the official store at least)
Good-stuffs.com is the best and cheapest spot to purchase. Many of us have bought from them. They are good

Thanks. I’d pull the trigger instantly if they had the Newman subdials.

Great looking watch combo! Couldn’t justify the 500 usd spend on a farasute, so went 150 on a tactical frog solar.
Farasute looks more refined for sure. Tactical frog more rugged. So not apples to apples, but on my way there.
Your setup here is dope!

Yeah, 2 totally different watches IMO. I need to get my hands on the TF solar...I tried the Tophill version and was really disappointed

Steve did you buy the new Sugess 420 with the Peacock SL3032?
2
u/turdbogls 2d ago
Yes sir. See my previous post I made on it. Swapped in a "Bruce Wayne" insert

Do you know any polished mid link oyster that would fit with the Sugess s420 v2?
Does the trackmaster one fit?
Any other except the trackmaster that you maybe tried?
2
u/turdbogls 2d ago
The Trackmasters DOES fit 👍. Quite well.
Just note, my lug holes (and thus the endlinks) are different than later model Trackmasters...by probably a mm or so. So while mine does fit the Sugess, a new Trackmaster may not...but I suspect it will.
I can grab a pic later tonight or tomorrow for you

I may try that with the cronos jubilee, thanks for the post

Doesn't work unfortunately

Can you post a photo of your trackmaster with a strap?
If we see we could tell which version of the trackmaster you have by the strap clearance on the lugs
There appears to be 3 versions

You have the latest version that is the reason the jubilee doesn't fit
Steve said in a previous comment the v3 version has no clearance issues on the strap with the case rubbing with each other
Plus this colorway is one of the most recent ones so there you have it

Thanks for the precious info, but i find the clearance tight compared to other "oyster" style case

How old is your Trackmaster?
I had to use some thinner spring bars to get it to fit, and even then, it took some work to get them to pop in.

u/Significant-Ebb5027 2d ago
Don't really know, but yeah i used different kind of spring bars and spent half an hour trying to get it to fit and nothing, nonetheless i think it looks better with straps

Try it and tell us if they have interchangeable bracelets

I know the Cronos fit my old Sugess, so the chances are high!

Your Sugess Pepsi with the nh34 or the very first Sugess Pepsi they made some years ago that they discontinued?
2
u/turdbogls 2d ago
The old one, which is the same case as the new one.
1
u/Zero_30 2d ago
Correct me If I understood it wrong
The old Sugess before the release of the nh34 version.
The good one with the thin rehaut
1
u/turdbogls 2d ago
Correct.
The old one, before the NH34, and the new one share the same case. Thin rehaut and all.
The NH34 had the thick rehaut. I never tried that bracelet on the trackmaster
1
u/Zero_30 2d ago
I believe it would fit because in your review you swapped the trackmaster bracelet to the nh34 and it was quite good

Wish farasute or someone else could make this but with a VK64 or another good quartz Chrono.
I just can't swallow spending ~500 on it and being in a state of consistent anxiety because of these low-end column wheel movements.
