baltic Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Hi, I've had this 2006 PO from Precious Time for a while now and decided to give it a new look. I first came across a pic of this strap on TZ on a Speedmaster and thought it looked really good. I think the strap gives it a real tool watch look and the strap has a quite matte look. It naturally falls into a distinct curve and I had to hold it down flat to take the shot. At the lug end the strap is quite thick but tapers to the ends, I'm sure a deployant buckle would fit. I'm now on the hunt for an 18mm SS Omega buckle It was very easy to fit and the filled in lugs are a great touch. The watch is a 42mm with Orange numerals and black bezel. (I tried a gen on in an AD today and the main difference to it I could find was the incredible AR coating on the gen, the gen's bezel didn't turn as smoothly as my rep ) Here's a couple of 'art house' B&W shots for you...

mezzanine Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 I much prefer the PO on a strap. I would prefer a rubber strap, but the 42mm versions don't come with one as an option, unless you go with a cheaper movement. If I could get a 42mm Orange PO on a rubber strap, with AR as good as the gen and correct logo placement- I would be in heaven. The PO is one watch where I just don't want to get it unless it's almost perfect, because I like the watch so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Looks pretty cool. I've been thinking about purchasing a black PO as well. Now that it has become a "hot topic" due to the new Bond movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 It looks great! I hate "lug gap" and this strap solves the prob beautifully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollux1 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Smashing looking watch Mark, I think one of Trusty's or Joshua's "ultimate" version with black dial/stainless steel bracelet will be next on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
