JWR Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Curious if it's worth bothering to get the Steelfish leather strap and buckle, or if they're the typical crap... The buckle looks sort of flimsy, any pictures of how it compares to the real deal?
Pugwash Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 I'll tell you tomorrow. I've got one on the way.
fotoman Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 maybe me to - mine did indeed get caught in the blizzard in NY
JWR Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Posted March 20, 2007 Hope one of those is blue... 'cause then you can tell me if it matches the dial nicely!

JWR Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Posted March 20, 2007 oh well... great minds can't always think alike...
Bignasty Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 I got one of the new breit straps from Angus and I was actually very impressed. I've got it on my Bent GT with an aftermarket double deployant clasp. Quality is much better than I expected on the leather. As for the clasp seems good but I like the deployants better.
JWR Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Posted March 20, 2007 I'm half considering snagging what seems to be a rep deployant clasp on ebay... they're about $20...
JWR Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Posted March 20, 2007 I like you better than I like pugwash now.
Rxus Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Bah..leather SS band FTW! The SS band is awsome, adds to the weight and completes the package.

b16a2 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 The straps are very good! I would recommend one!

fotoman Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 I like you better than I like pugwash now. someone changed the smilies and i didn't get the memo, where is the headbanging dude
Pugwash Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 The strap is excellent. The first replica strap I'm not replacing.
b16a2 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Ok after much debate, I have finally orderd a swiss white dial steelfish with extra brown strap. Can't wait for it to come through! Will let you know what I think when it arrives
skjalg Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 That is the one I am going for also! Looks like great combo with the brown strap! Me want some more pics when u get it BTW its been a while since I have ordered anything, do they still ship with door-to-door delivery? It seems to be the best way to avoid customs trouble!

b16a2 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 I'll be posting a full barrage of white-on-brown photos very soon.Looking forward to these!! BTW its been a while since I have ordered anything, do they still ship with door-to-door delivery? It seems to be the best way to avoid customs trouble! Not quite sure what you mean, but the watch is delivred to any address that you put on the order.
skjalg Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 If they come delivered by carrier or if I must go get them at the post office. Items that are delivered at the post office seem to have a longer delivery and spend more time at customs. Looking forward to these!! Not quite sure what you mean, but the watch is delivred to any address that you put on the order.
b16a2 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 In the UK when I order they come through EMS via Parcelforce I think. Im never here when they are delivered so I couldn't be certain.
fotoman Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 i commented more in a thread i started - but the buckle is totally acceptable the watch strap is AMAZING, the color is fantastic on the blue. A++
JWR Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Posted March 20, 2007 All over it, then. I wonder if i'll ever wear it on a bracelet...
b16a2 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Hmm I've gone for the white SS, with an extra brown strap, but am considering a gen black rubber strap with white dial, anyones opinions or pictures (any watch) of this combo?
