elisiX Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 Hi All, Thought i'd take some pictures of the 233K again but this time on Micah's 'flagship' strap, the Mauser. This is a medium color w/ white stitch and I can easily say it is one of the best i've ever owned. I'm hoping to also get a darker brown w/ green stitch down the track but for now, this will suffice. Previously i've only owned Micah's brindle in 26mm and I absolutely loved that strap. I would like to also grab one of his copperplate and vdark straps next. The texture and feeling of this strap is second to none. And believe me, i've owned at least 1 strap from just about about every quality strap maker. That includes Simona, Micah and Ted Su. To describe this strap, its most similar to Ted's rare swiss ammo but much more pliable. Anyway, here goes. Pics were taken indoors tonight with the flash so they're not like my usual pictures. I really need to learn to soften the flash but either way, these were the best pictures from tonight and I thought i'd share. Cheers, Jay
davesco Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 That MICAH MAUSER on your 233K looks great!! Micah makes some awesome straps and they get better with age...My brindle from micah I got 18mts ago at the bottom on sterile dial...
projectologist Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 Ammos can look very good with historic cases... yours' is no exception! Love the extra tail in the wrist shot, just the right amount.
elisiX Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Posted July 21, 2009 Thanks guys. Yes the tail is incredible, as is the buckle. Very impressed. Being a flat buckle they are not quite as comfortable while sitting at the desk at work (just got in), but it looks fantastic. And looking at the wrist, you can see the GPF- Mod Dep text which looks awesome. In the daylight this strap is stunning.
HauteHippie Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 Huge fan of Micah and his strap here... and that one is perfectly suited to carry around the 233K!!!
SERGEANT_AT_ARMS Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Your watch/strap combos are always very tastefull, great choice!
elisiX Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Posted July 23, 2009 Some daylight shots. (I cant take photos with a flash to save my life!)
Jurgenk Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 That's a great 233K and a nice strap to go with... How do you like this strap compared to HK Tan? Was it a long lead time?
elisiX Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Posted July 23, 2009 Aaron makes some nice straps, but this is a whole different league. I didn't buy it direct from Micah, it was brand new though.
fishgodeep Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Great looking combo ...but that's one hell of a beautiful watch!! Enjoy FGD
Tony7777 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Jay, that 233 never ceases to amaze. The rep versions have a loooooong way to go! Tony
Watchmeister Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Great combo. The strap is beautiful. It really makes the watch harken back to its origins - Fiddy and before that the 6152. One of these days I am going to get me one of those. But until then I will just look and admire. For me, the 233 is the perfect combination of traditional lines with Panerai's first in-house movement. A wonderful combination.
V Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Nice combo.. like it a lot.. micah's mauser is a very nice strap
