I got called out once, in a supermarket (of all places). "Is that a Fiddy, wow" from a guy waring a gen Anonimo. "Yeah" I said, "I made the strap myself"... I work with a very nice Swiss guy from Geneva, see him every day. He does se my watches (that I change ever so frequently), but he never made any comments. He either doesn't know about watches or he is too shy to ask...
Grace Jones "Hurricane" has been played a lot in our home, "Sunset Sunrise" and "Devil in my life" being my favorites. Breathtakingly beautiful and exciting. This woman is maturing with dignity (as most of us are ) I wouldn't have expected otherwise, though, Grace Jones, Sly and Robbie, Brian Eno, Tricky...
Just finished shortening and mounting it (together with the bezel insert I received). I think the clasp is well made, no sharp edges , and the rubber feels (and looks) great. It's exactly like the gen (non Ocean Racer) rubber strap I have on my Steelfish, so I believe dust won't stick to it. And it's extremely comfy, the quick-adjustment pusher is very convenient. I'll post some pics later.
Cheers,
Volker
