DaveC Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 I think this K.Wong carbon fiber is a beautiful strap; custom made for deployant. Arrrghhh...it was bad enough being seduced by too many watches to choose from...now I have to contend with straps as well! The problems now exponential! Love the carbon strap...must have one LOVE the Shrapnel...now I HAVE to buy a Ti Chrono Avenger to go with it (From the movie Blood Diamond) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Thanks DaveC. Yep, I saw that hand stitching is an option, but yours looks good to me so I wouldn't bother with the extra $30. In any case I'll get those OT straps first, then we'll see what happens. Lani's HK Tan strap is awfully nice, but comes in at $169 (or $139 in calf). K. Wong has some interesting leathers I'm tempted by (elephant, horse and frog for example) and is cheaper ($89 for calf/horse, $95 for elephant, $125 for shark), but I've only seen his deployments in carbon, so that's a slight gamble. The carbons look well done, but they're not my cup of tea at all. Decisions, decisions, decisions. I think the carbon would (will!) go well on an AP Ruben Barrichello or an IWC Ingeniuer - has that motor racing carbon and machined metal feel about it...

Agrippa Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 True enough, on the Ingenieur it would no doubt be nice. I see there are some IWC deployants for sale in the straps section too... My Breitlings, however, demand leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
