elisiX Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

projectologist Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elisiX Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurgenk Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elisiX Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgodeep Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Great looking combo ...but that's one hell of a beautiful watch!! Enjoy FGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony7777 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Jay, that 233 never ceases to amaze. The rep versions have a loooooong way to go! Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
