Hello Victoria,
Back in May I purchased a strap on Paneristi from a young chap named Kyle Welch. (went by the name of HC straps). Kyle was recently married and also just graduated from university so he has been busy with other pursuits. The boy can build a strap. Mine is called "buffalo brown."
This is his contact information: welch.kyle@gmail.com
Be well. Vlydog
Yes, I also contacted Pam by PM and used PP for payment. The Palp crown arrived in about two weeks. You should be receiving yours soon. BTW, in a personal message, he informed me that he was shipping on a Friday (September 14th) and I placed the order on the 13th.
Did anyone check out this special advertising supplement to the New York Times?
Sorry no pictures but on page 20 there is a Hublot Million Dollar Big Bang with case and bezel completely covered in diamonds.
The supplement even has sections devoted to each US time zone with the watches that are favored in each. Interesting read.
Also check out Esquire's October 2007 Big Black Book issue. It has an entire section devoted to watches.
I like the understated and simplistic lines of the base models without second hands. I also like the quirky uniqueness of a destro. Would you consider the 112, 176 or the 219?
