alw Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 This is my first order from Chris. There were a few detours with the order as the factories suddenly stopped producing the 28.8 version and switched to 21.6! Chris offered me a refund, but suddenly he got hold of a 28.8 which I grabbed. He also sent me a complimentary strap, and the watch itself came with a bracelet (which I ditched since I don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alw Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 how much$ how long to get? could I see a pic of the bracelet? thanks Total was about 350 USD. It took a month because of the hassle with the movement. And of course having it delivered inside EU takes time too. The bracelet is still wrapped in plastic as I want to sell it later on, but it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphakazi Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I can't say I hate bracelets but between you and oscar I've been quite influenced - since I've put leather on my Bentley, Sub, Navi and the Planet Ocean - I just need to invest into some high quality straps now. My local supplier has a variety of cheaper leather straps for $3.50 to $4.50 wholesale - these are your $20-30 street price straps and gives me much to look forward to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailboss Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Nice watch, brown leather on a deployment clasp would do it for me. Some pieces deserve leather but IMO a sub is not one of them. Rubber, yes but leather on a sub? Realy! Col. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphakazi Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 you're right Col - the sub with black cow hide don't look too hot - I need a good kevlar for it - I'm still experimenting ah crap - I got the cat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg_r Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I thought it was a ribbon from the State Fair. My other thought was the braces (suspenders for those of the American persuasion) that my grandfather used to wear when I was a kid....... Edit: sorry, alw - not meaning to yank your chain, but from this you may deduce that NATO straps ain't my thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
