Angel & Jay are away for a couple of days. When they will come back I will contact them (I have already send them a couple of emails and wait for a reply). Although everytime they go away when they come back they have to answer to so many emails that the communication is not the best. We can move a bit fast but don't know how fast... P.S. For the time being this group buy is for UK only for easy and hastle free transactions. Hope you understand.

the last Alange of TTK is very beautiful for a dress watch

Yeap.. nice to see her again

Mark this is the re-lume risk.. We are talking about small numbers with a paint which is very very toxic to the dial colour and the hour and minute hands. If someone wants a perfect lumed watch he can go and buy the genuine.

VINTAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.....

I am not going to do it for the money.. i will do it for my few friends here... If i wanted to sell it and make big money i can get more than 100$ on Paneristi and ebay...

Aaron you did a great job there.. without you all my efforts and thoughts for this strap would have been useless...

It's beautiful.. and Europelli's quality is superb.. love to see croc/gator strap.. just don't like them on me

quelle surprise

You don't have to buy to vote in the poll... Just what you think will look better and it's more interesting...

YEap.. that's so true.. I cannot wear any of my older watches because without lume I think they miss something....

In my eyes ostrich are :yucky: I have thought many times about gator BUT I consider myself still young blood and most of my clothes are casual or fashionably casual And everytime I have a strap with a gator on my arm it looks completely out of space and out of time on me.

Yeah.. maybe people don't want to give 100$ but I guess there are people who would be very much interested for a WWII tan aged leather that it will go perfect with their vintage watches But anyway.. I will source some vintage leather for myself and maybe just a bit more (so I won't loose much if noone wants it) P.S> The only strap that has that kind of leather is the XaMas and they begin from 250$

Good idea... check here: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=2546

Your logo Pam is a beauty

Tomorrow I am off for a trip to Greece where I will try to find a big quantity of leather to make straps to offer to the forum. But I should choose between two styles: 1. VINTAGE. I may be able to find old leather from the 1st and 2nd World war. 2. Contemporary As the title says. New leather probably from a Brand (like the CK, Marlboro, Sergio Tacchini etc I have sourced for myself) Final cost of the strap (custom made to your specifications and size from 22/22 to 26/26) won't be more than 100$ without buckle (but of course it may be less than that depending on the cost of the leather I will source). Let me know what you think and if you believe this is a good idea.

Beautiful watches Christian

I know.. but mine trust me.. was MUCH MUCH more cheaper but with a lot of effort Although I believe with the logo buckle (DON has a plain one) the market value of my strap is more than 250$

250$ for a quartz????

That's true.. thaks for the inspiration and the little push...

No to tell you the truth I have never bought something from Wojtecki. But also I think I am finished with ready straps (only of course in case I grab a used bargain on Paneristi) From now on I buy only BOB vertigo straps and make my own projects...

I said I should post this here to for reference... I also have 3 new custom projects (like the Metta) on the process. On the collection they are missing the 2 BASES (only the watches) that I have sent to Finepics for relume. STRAPS from LEFT to RIGHT: 1. BOB 24/24 vertigo black buffalo with polished GPF buckle 2. BOB 24/24 vertigo antique calf with brushed GPF buckle 3. 212 on a HIRSCH strap with own deployment 4. 196 on BOB 24/24 vertigo wine/burgundy calf with polished GPF buckle 5. 127 fiddy on BOB 26/26 vertigo coconut calf with panerai buckle 6. 036 MM on BOB 24/24 vertigo reddish brown buffalo with brushed GPF buckle 7. 111H on CUSTOM MADE 24/24 Metta with brushed logo buckle 8. DON 24/22 shrunk calf leather strap on Panerai deployment 9. BigB HORWEEN 26/22 black cordovan with Panerai buckle 10. Europelli 26/22 brown cordovan In this photo from LEFT to RIGHT: 1. 024 on a BOB black shark with brushed Pre-V buckle 2. Rep carbon strap (that came with my 212) 3. BOB 24/22 rubberised vintage black calf And finally the two Europelli straps that I have bought with the hope I will soon get an 187 (which never happened but still hope) 1. Europelli 26/26 black shell cordovan with blue stitching 2. Europelli 26/26 carbon fiber strap with blue stitching

On the collection they are missing the 2 BASES (only the watches) that I have sent to Finepics for relume. STRAPS from LEFT to RIGHT: 1. BOB 24/24 vertigo black buffalo with polished GPF buckle 2.

DON 24/22 shrunk calf leather strap on Panerai deployment 9. BigB HORWEEN 26/22 black cordovan with Panerai buckle 10. Europelli 26/22 brown cordovan That's it.. I also have 2 more 24/22 straps that are not in the photo (a BOB rubberised vintage black calf and the rep carbon strap that came with the 212) And finally the 024 (not in the photo) with a 24/22 BOB black shark strap at the moment.

Don't have many straps at the moment.. I have though 3 new custom projects (like the Metta) on the process. This is my collection: And 2 more photos of the Metta:
