JWR Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bignasty Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share 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 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I'm half considering snagging what seems to be a rep deployant clasp on ebay... they're about $20... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b16a2 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share 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!

skjalg Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share 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!

Not quite sure what you mean, but the watch is delivred to any address that you put on the order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjalg Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share 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!!

b16a2 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share 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++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
