Victoria Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 It's interesting because the colour of the stitching in the picture looks lighter than it does in person- it's supposed to be black stitching on a Crazy Horse. I actually got an ABP horned croc strap with it, but that's been sold and was sized for 26mm lugs. I was very tempted to just leave the MP Senape on it, it's a beauty. Mezz, you have good and EXPENSIVE tastes in straps. Very impressive that you bought the APB horned croc. I wish it was gen! Bah. We will have a gen, one day me and you, and maybe I'll suggest to Admin that we have a section for former rep-now gen owners for special Wristchecks.
mezzanine Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 It's funny Vic, but my interest in getting a gen has yet to really develop. Modding a vintage rollie with gen parts? That has appeal to me, I've got to admit...but one day I think you should mod that forum for new-found gen owners. We'll be the nouveaux riche of gen owners. I was wondering about developing a miniature flag that we would attach to our watch, which would be like an orange diver flag in colour, and would say "genuine watch here!" in bold lettering on both sides. Or maybe we develop some sort of sticker(?). Yes, the Crazy Horse and ABP (especially) were expensive. In retrospect, I suspect that I may have been very happy had I gone with Savage or Tootall, from a value standpoint. I wasn't that excited about the ABP strap, really. It was very high quality, no doubt, but wasn't as suited to my taste as I'd expected.
tazzman Posted November 15, 2007 Report Posted November 15, 2007 Wearing my new UPO today.. sorry for the "card" in the picture.. didnt shoot this for RWG.. /Mike

That's a shame, Mezz baby...perhaps we'll be seeing it soon in a sales area "near you".
