Chinnyman Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Hi all , i am looking at the Calibre 16/17 etc in Black. Mary only has day/date which has a silver bezel which i am not keen on. I have done some research reading and unsure what to go for. Marvellous & Toro dont have anything with a leather strap. This one from Silix looks good http://www.silix-pri...roducts_id=1614 Trusty Time also have something similar but a bit more pricey and a bit cheaper!! http://www.ttw168.co...roducts_id=3380 http://www.ttw168.co...roducts_id=4722 AsiaKrono also have one too http://www.asiakrono...erswiss_031.htm i am not fussed too much on this model but i really like tha ll black and the leather strap!! Any help much apprec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chr1st0c Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 IMHO.... Stay away from the leather on Rep watches... The quality is really crappy .... Or get a stap maker to do a proper gator strap for you.. C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinnyman Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Gator strap ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physher007 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 gator = alligator I only order from trusty time; customer service is outstanding shipping is very quick and the watches are always top rate. What I've found is that In this racket you get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icoopernicus Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 While some of the straps are garbage, the Rep crocodile strap that came on my Carrera Calibre 16 DayDate was actually pretty good! I've been wearing the watch for about 3 years now and while it is showing some wear, it still looks and feels great. Note for Tag Chrono's some of the engraved SS bezels have an issue with the Tachy scale 1 - Calibre 16 with SS bezel is missing the 170, it's just blank in that spot ???? 2 - I want to say Calibre 17 with the black bezel, has a '0' in the place of '200' the left off the 2 and the second 0 ???? just something to look out for.
