It makes that bracelet look skinny though

Small and dainty are words not used to describe it What gets me is here SOSF is scratched to bits, it really looks like it has been used in industrial diving, how the hell would a scratch magnet like this look after a couple of months, how would it look PVDed or blasted?????

A lot of fosil watches coming on straps like that

I will go for a railmaster Chrono,

I think you will find the ETA 2836 is the asiam clone, looks just like an ETA 2836 even down to the stampings but is total asian, The Swiss ETA 2836 will be a surplus, or made in Asia at an ETA factory. Ther are very small differences particualy in the quality deptment, go to the Eurotimez page and he gives a good description of how to spot them. I also belive Ziggy has had a few words on the subject have a search about. These are not the Asian 21j myota copys though

And lug holes, i am sure Chris is working on this.

Playin with it now does seam faster

My try

Yep

Marky dont spend a load of cash out on straps just distres that one you will be supprissed how they can look, water down some bleach and saok the strap for a min, then lightly scrub with a soft nail brush, repeat untill all the painted service is gone then rinse to get any bleach out of it, then alow to dry naturaly, give it a good leather wax/feed and you will be supprised how nice they can look. this looked like yours and all i did was strip it and gave it some neutral wax

Welcome spend some time reading and you will find all you want

not sure how many i have hang on only 581 for me but i will add one to your count 701 for dutchy

I would do it sooner than later

3rd strap i ever made!

My ingy AR is scratched too, just the way it goes if you work the watch hard

Welcome back, who were you before?

Im saving that thanks mate

Welcome, I think woody is your friend! you know some times this is nore of a sickness than a hobby, beware

Heard about it couple of years ago on a course, i think it was just theory back then, thank god we have different ways of seeing where things are with out using light

Welcome to the forum.

I asked a few questions about these and the reidenschild a couple of weeks ago, it seams the chronos are using the same movements as our reps

Sub or SD you may be lucky and pick up an IWC ingy chrono for that price if that flicks your switch. you will definatly be able to get a Ti AMG ingy, they dont seem to sell that well.

Any thing from china is either Swinese at best, the Chiss ones are not bad though.

just lookin the yelow pages and phone them all one will say yes
