erwinner Posted August 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 (I swear I just replied to this somewhere? ) yes... you sure did... I do remember passing the skulls 'n guns pic's when searching RWG for making my choice on the straps for the 177H... if you add some roses you give me a true guns 'n roses revival ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwinner Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 The 177H arrived safe and sound today... As it came without a strap I used the BOB Olive Brown vertigo from the PAM090 in order to be able to wear it. It gives the watch a 'military' look. What do you think? I'll spend the weekend to make up my mind for better matching straps that better fit with a suit and will keep u posted. Thanks all for you input and kind help... By the way; is the small second hand on a 177H originally also white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erwinner Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 What about a leather NATO STRAP? That's the first time I see a leather NATO strap... must be quite thick around the wrist? Do you have any wrist shots? With regards to finding a the strap that matches a grey/blue suit I guess this is a bit over the hill though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 What about a leather NATO STRAP? I was going to make a leather nato the other day but thought it would be too thick and lift the watch to far from the wrist with the double layer of leather under the case back like that, how does it wear?

pbe2410 Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 (edited) The NATO strap is a prototype one. I have a friend who is a professional on leather crafts and I give to hiim ideas and he make them real. The watch rest a little high over the wrist but I have used it and works. Anyway we are improving it well using only one strap piece under the case or using in this part a thinner leather strap. I will let you know the improvements done. But beleive me this NATO strap is a beater wherever you go! Edited August 18, 2007 by pbe2410 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwinner Posted August 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) Finally made-up my mind... after reading Victoria's first strap-cap review on the Fiero I got excited. Was a bit worried about the price though and ran into a special today on timeconnection... Everybody rush in if you like it as much as Victoria and I did and get yours today for only 94 USD! http://timeconnection.biz/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?

ZainoDetail Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I really like the looks of some of these medium brown straps on the Titanium watches...esp the Greg Stevens strap and the lighter Toscana one listed earlier... BUT am I the only one that thinks that the 177h would look killer on a black Carbon Fiber strap? I do not yet have a tianium model watch though a 177h will be my next purchase and I plan on putting it on the carbon strap that came on my 212 and then if I like it finding a better carbon strap to be placed on there for good. So...anyone have pictures of a 177 or other ti watch on carbon fiber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZainoDetail, if you give me one day, I will add my PAM 177h/Carbon strap shots to the ones no doubt coughed up soon, by other members. I'm expecting a Toscana one (like Stephane's!) any moment. @Erwinner: Fiero/177 UPDATES??? Puhleazzze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erwinner Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 I know, I know.... way to late to post the pic's of my 177H on Fiero strap, but hope you still appreciate it... at least I do, so thank you all for your kind help with most gratitude to miss. VBarret aka Madamoiselle Strap. After reading her strap capers and a reference to a one-day 50% off offer at www.timeconnection.biz I am now the proud owner of a 177H on fiero.... Who follows? and of course some of the obligatory wrist shots (hey, it even looks great on my small wrists ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sure you had bought it, though sad you stopped posting regularly soon after. Thought you were angry, Erwinner. LOOK AT THAT PATINA! Wow, you must wear yours every day. It looks like a Havana cigar rolled on the thighs of Dutch maidens. BTW, above you see someone asking where are my carbon strap shots on the 177. I posted them, referencing you here: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...mp;#entry342562 And here they are! It's usually $109, but it can be bought sometimes for half that.

Thought you were angry, Erwinner. LOOK AT THAT PATINA! Wow, you must wear yours every day. It looks like a Havana cigar rolled on the thighs of Dutch maidens. Thanks Madamoiselle! Nop, nobody angry... just got some feedback from the home-front about spending too much time behind the screen and too little with the family And as you allready noticed, spending time with the family pays off to get some decent 'wear' in the Fiero strap... In weekends this is indeed the favority combination with a pair of jeans and a shirt. Unbeatable! One thing I noticed on the Fiero after wearing it for a month or so is the fact that the upper and bottem piece of leater is of different fabric. The upperside is the smooth tanned leather which fades in colour when bent and which gets the usual signes of wear at the sides from the buckle. The bottom side is thicker, less flexible and has no signs of wear from the buckle. No complaints from my side as the combination of both kinds of leather make up for an excellent thick strap which makes a statement everytime I wear the 177H.
