chir0nex Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hey, I'm thinking of getting the Orange UPO but i wouldn't mind it with the bracelet and also a nice croc/leather strap, in orange! Similar to this one: http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.p...ture_id=478770 Does anyone have any pictures of how the fake croc looks? Also, is the deployant that comes with it of decent quality and close to gen? I'm just afraid of the 'croc printing' on the leather looking fake. Are the crocodile grains actually imprinted on the leather, or is it just printed on with ink? Would love to see some of your pictures of the replica croc strap, even in brown or black! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chir0nex Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Wow, i definitely like the Croc in those pictures! What is the quality like, particularly the crocodile grain? Also, where did you get your fantastic strap from? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irontomkidd Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I love this watch on the croc strap! Or steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmStaFF Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 i bought this strap from PT, but i think the quality is the same as the other dealers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chir0nex Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Thanks for the replies guys! Yeah, i think i am definitely sold on the strap and orange PO after seeing your pictures - it just looks fantastic! Does anyone know where i can purchase the orange strap + deployant for cheapest? Puretime http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.p...ture_id=478770 They have it for a nice $50 but shipping is $15! Their deployant also looks close to the gen from what i know. I'm just afraid that the printed leather will look obviously printed, or does it actually look like croc? Can anyone suggest other places to get it? Thanks!

Here are some comparison shots of the PT vs a Gen strap and clasp. The clasp looks spot on to me, and I think the color of the strap will hide the fact it is printed. To me the gen strap is more subdued in real life any way, and you have to be up on it and inspecting it to realize its croc. I think the color is what realy draws the eye and not the fact that its an exotic skin strap. My bigest concern would be the warability of the strap and not its apperance, as it looks great to me. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chir0nex Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Wow, thanks a lot irontomkidd. Looks like i can't go wrong with this strap, unless i get a different one to the one pictures. Not sure if all that orange will go well on my wrists, but hey, its orange! Thanks!
