Victoria Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I'd like to share with you guys my excitement! What do you guys think? First, CONGRATS, hugs! Second, wow that Vaclume is fantastic. I've also been noticing that a lot of people are plumping down for the 177h of late, like erwinner, slai, me, phoband, and others. If you're stuck for strap suggestions, here is a great recent thread on it. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?s=&...st&p=297717 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masan Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Looks beautiful! Trying to decide between this watch and the UPO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm stuck between the Micah V dark and the Flat Black with the brushed buckle. I don't even know how the sizing works. Or how to pick which buckle size. I have pretty small wrists. Thanks for the hug! Edited August 13, 2007 by 911RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 You read my mind! I'm stuck between the Micah V dark and the Flat Black with the brushed buckle. Note about the Micah V Dark: opinions on it from my friends vary from "ooh, that's a nice colour!", to "wow, it's not as nice as a leather strap", the implication being that it's plastic or something. It's true that the V Dark doesn't have a rich, leather texture. In fact, it's a bit matte, TBH. The Flat Black looks similar in look and feel, don't you think? It's very different from the Copperplate (w/ white stitching) which I also have now. Didn't look the best on the 177h, so I didn't mention it. The Micah straps I fancy at the moment are the Red, Pale Rider, and especially the Gobi (the latter for the 177h specifically!). I don't even know how the sizing works. Or how to pick which buckle size. I have pretty small wrists. I have 5.7" wrists, and somehow, I'm crazy enough to pull a Fiddy off. I know the recent wrist-check shots make it look a bit ungainly on me, but when seen full frontal, it's gorgeous. My normal wristsize is 115/75, using the third or fourth top-most hole, but often, the second since I like it TIGHT. The Micah I have, as I said, has a "tongue" which is 150 long, and it gives one a gorgeous tail effect. Either way, you can't lose with a Micah or a Strapculture on the 177! Thanks for the hug!

I bit the bullet last night and ordered the V Dark Your watch inspired me and I also ordered the Strapculture pirate buckle to fit it. The Micah straps I fancy at the moment are the Red, Pale Rider, and especially the Gobi (the latter for the 177h specifically!). I have 5.7" wrists, and somehow, I'm crazy enough to pull a Fiddy off. I know the recent wrist-check shots make it look a bit ungainly on me, but when seen full frontal, it's gorgeous. With a tape measure snug to my wrist I'm 6.25" I ordered a 125/75 do you think that is ok? My normal wristsize is 115/75, using the third or fourth top-most hole, but often, the second since I like it TIGHT. I like mine a little more lose so that when my arms are down the watch slightly rests on my hand where the wrist meets it. The Micah I have, as I said, has a "tongue" which is 150 long, and it gives one a gorgeous tail effect. Now I'm thinking I should have gotten the 150/80 like yourself. Either way, you can't lose with a Micah or a Strapculture on the 177! I got the strap and the buckle... best of both worlds hahaha Edited August 13, 2007 by 911RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgegrasser Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Enjoy it! A popular watch for sure. I bought a used one a couple of days ago. My 4th Pam, I just had to have a Titanium. Alas I'm running out of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
