shultzie Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 253 chrono regatta so I am turning to the members to show me how to love it. Show me some strap combos that work with this watch - rubber? black carbon weave? dayglo silicon? anything? or the watch has to go...

Damn Shultzie..don't say that because I have the upgraded one on the way from Josh...which is why I sold my 024. I figured I'd like the dial and polished case better. Now I might regret that...Old man's watch Seriously I gave throught to using one of my SS bracelets, but that might be overbearing. I found even with the 024 rubber seemed to work best.

I just look in my watchbox and see it and it just doesn't do it for me but with the right strap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve G Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 What didn't you like about it, the dial? I mean I understand I have watches that I just don't wear often..liked them for a while but then the feeling went away...God if i was buying gens do you think I would ever be happy? That's the nice thing about this hobby...get to try everything once...well almost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 DIfficult to find nice straps for this.. I definately prefer the 212 because of the straps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babola Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) Sorry Steve - I loved it in the pics. Fine watch, keeps great time, chrono resets perfect... I just look in my watchbox and see it and it just doesn't do it for me but with the right strap? Honestly, if the dial doesn't sing back to you - sell it and buy one that does...no strap/bracelet combo will fix the fact, sorry...at least that's the case with me. If it doesn't get worn and doesn't get an equal share of your "wrist time"...than I call it an 'orphan'...why wasting the watchbox space cheers, babola Edited March 14, 2007 by babola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shultzie Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 @V - if YOU can't make this watch work then I may as well give up...you were my one hope. My Obi-Wan Honestly, if the dial doesn't sing back to you - sell it and buy one that does...no strap/bracelet combo will fix the fact, sorry...at least that's the case with me. If it doesn't get worn and doesn't get an equal share of your "wrist time"...than I call it an 'orphan'...why wasting the watchbox space cheers, babola I know it B - but I figured I'd reach out in desperation cuz of course I want to like it. I guess its relegated to Oliver or Annie (or Leela?) status. Poor orphan @SteveG - I can't even qualify what i don't like about it...I just don't. Its no one thing...its the package. Thanks all for the reality check - much as I don't want to face it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kollektor Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Sounds like that watch is on its way to a new owner. But if you think it looks like an old man's watch, maybe try the rubber strap? Otherwise, sell it to one of us old men... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
