... because quoting Latin never made anyone look conceited. :D

It's always the best language to express your feelings & not getting flamed in the next 200 posts... :D:D

It helps if you spell it right instead of copy/pasting it, though. Otherwise you'll get flamed by those who can spell in Latin. Just in case ... well, you know. :Jumpy:

Willith, Willith, Willth....

I know that you acted with the best of intentions... but your list is too short. Always the under-achiever :D

ABP offer watchstraps made from animals that you may never have heard of... check out the choice, if it isn't endangered, it seems that ABP will make you a strap from its hide. Being French, they probably offer personal customers a tasty stew made from the rest of the beast :lol:

Here is the link: http://www.abp-paris.com/abpw/index_en.php

This is an abbreviated list:

Alligator - square, hornback or round scales

Stag

Lamb

Ostrich (from several different parts of the anatomy. I fancy the shin...)

Buffalo

Goat

Suede

Peccary

Pig

Calf

Sheep

Beaver tail (nice...)

Anaconda

Toad

Elephant

Emu

Stingray

Frog

Kangaroo

Llama

Pangolin

Perch

Seal

Python

Shark

Dogfish

Salmon

Sea Snake

Camel

Cobra

Sea Bass

Whip snake

And for the polyester-wearing vegans :

Denim

Moire

Satin

Cork.

All straps are made to measure and look absolutely beautiful. Not cheap, though.

Happy timekeeping!

Hi Willith,

Buffalo (Bison) NO

Stingray NO

Shark NO

Elephant NO

Horse Yes

Cow (calf) Yes

Goat Yes

Alligator NO

Crocodile NO

Why ?

Because cows, horses & goats are bread for human consumption. The leather is a rest product.

the others are species who belong in the wild. I am not a environmental nuthead, but that's my opinion.

Gerco

I second that!!!

Dear $DEITY, is that the best you can come up with? It's a bit obvious and doesn't change anything. :D

Michael Portillo is obvious too, as is Christiano Ronaldo. Margaret Thatcher would be on my list as well, along with Jim Davisdon, but none of these seem worthy enough of wishing death upon. Sure, their deaths would have comedy value, but not enough impact to really wish it.

Michael Schumacher is my choice. You could dye his skin red and make exclusive sports straps for your Palbundi Ferrari watches.

Or Ann Coulter for you Americans: Get some true patriot Ol' Glory bitchleather straps. Those on the other side of the fence can get Michael Moore straps: there'd be more to go round, so that'd be for big watches.

There's not be much leather from a Tom "Short" Cruise strap and it'd suit the sciento in your life, but you'd probably need to keep it in the closet to stop it going off.

Uwe Boll. I'd choose Uwe Boll. House of the Dead-printed zombie straps, or Bloodrayne print. Yeah, who wants Uwe Boll straps?

In sooth, I know not how to buy more reps.

Omega Planet Oceans I have not,

Yet all around me Pumpkins I see oft,

And something tells me they are really hot.
