slai Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Just ordered an "Allora a Ora" in Anacardo for my fiddy that I don't even have. I can't believe I've purchased THREE straps for a watch that hasn't even arrived yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willith Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 I need a 3rd voting option: Don't buy either, Elliot L is a snake who steals peoples names for marketing purposes and who said replica people are cheap thieves, then markets his products to us when he realized we have a lot of money and spend it. He's a greedy slime bag. So, if you added that for a voting option I would vote for that one. If I had to choose from the 2 options above I would take the first strap, I like the buckle, it's a copy of the design as I have on my XaMas strap.

He's a greedy slime bag. Yeah, I heard he's disliked over at Risti. As for greedy slimebag, that is interesting because he sells his straps at 50% off and frequently adds freebies in other forums. I think must've totally misread him, because he's been nothing but kind to people with his merchandise. He seems affable enough to me in the emails we've exchanged, too.

Still don't have a Xa-Mas, but I'm saving that for X-mas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to bash reps on his site and got into it with other strap vendors who sold to us on these forums. Then he realized how much money he was loosing and his story totally changed. He goes where they money is as any business man does, but to be such a turncoat makes him untrustworthy in my book. I used to buy many straps from him and even talked to him on the phone a few times, but since he made his hatred for us known and then switched sides, I haven't ordered anything from him. Some of the strap lines are very nice, but I won't order from him anymore. I've also discovered after several MP straps, the holes are in the wrong place for me, I'm in between holes.

Victoria Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I've also discovered after several MP straps, the holes are in the wrong place for me, I'm in between holes. First, thanks for clarifying, and it's good to know you're looking out for us, Willith. I'll bear what you said in mind, personally. I just like the Paci/GeF/Toscana straps too much, and I have little to do with anything else. In-between holes is tough. Never had that problem with TC straps. But I often get straps with a long tail, and the first hole is much much below where I could wear my strap comfortably. So I bought a $12 leather hole punch on *Bay. Yes, it's nerve-wracking to try to punch a hole on a $200+ strap, but it's better than letting them go to waste. Thanks again, Willith!

Victoria Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 So friends any more recommendations for straps for the fiddy? Thanks. May I also recommend Greg Stevens straps? If you go to Risti Accessories corner, you might "Search" for his name, and a boatload of straps will pop up. New, they start at $150, but used $80-100. The Crazy Horse in black stitch and his Naturale are both excellent for the Fiddy! @EVERYONE: The 50% discount ends tonight, midnight, Texas time. Hurry...in fact, haven't ordered mine yet!

The XI is nowhere near the LaSpezia I have both black and tan of the Spezia... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
