  1. BUDDA - LOVE it!

    I have decided to NOT make my own strap for the Monty now, simply because there are a number of experts out there who make these things ALL the time and will do a better job than me, for a net outlay of time effort and money that is less!

    I will stick to my Monty box project - annnnnyway, back to you!

    -- I know the gen straps are big money (more than a decent rep watch in many cases) but clearly you think it is worth the investment - the supplied rep strap 'looks' OK until you see one of these babies up close!

    I can see by the pics from you and Zorro that the gen is much more substantial and from what I have heard, very soft and supple. There is a richness that matches the watch itself ....

    Well done!

    @ Inertiadrifter - 100 made - all sold - two have been resold since, so keep an eye out on all the rep forums .... but make sure to "never sleep" because someone might get there before you

    ;)

    Thanks Seriph,

    i know it's a similar price to the watch but after seeing the gen strap mounted - it's a must have in my opinion. I thought the rep strap that came with it was okay too until I saw this in the flesh - after that the rep strap had to go! The gen is on a different planet to other straps. In fact whenever I get my next ROO I'm not going to wear it unless it's strapped up.

    Thanks again Zorro!

    Good luck with the Monty box Seriph - look forward to seeing that.

  2. That is a great upgrade. Congrats. I agree that gen straps really dress a good rep up. And now that you have one you probably see the difference between an AP Hornback and anyone else's. There strap maker goes to the trouble to cut the right part of the hide so you get a glimpse of the ridge even in the last third of strap and then the unique rubberized finish on the sides. No other maker goes that extra yard. Of course they aren't getting $550 per strap.

    Thanks very much. It's true - the gen strap just oozes quality. Also the fit of it to the watch is solid if you know what I mean.

  3. Hey budda
