              Lovely GS!

              I put my Steelfish on a rubber strap for a change, but after a half days worth of wearing I can say that the bracelet is soooooo much nicer and more comfortable to wear.

              AIAN HA-TO!

                Hi everybody nice watches on here 🙂

                does anybody of you know Shane? I think his strapwork is fantastic, and the sound on his page is great. Maybe somebody could help with me the sick drum n bass beat under section "customer comments"? yeeeeah

                🙂 🙂

                Cheers,
                David

                  Shane is among the well known strap makers especially among paneristi. To get a better view on a vast no. Of good straps out there, try and surf the strap vendor market and review corner and you'll be amazed.

                  But beware, you'll be addicted  ::)

                  But for best bang for the bucks,, your best bet are those straps from Asia such as petergunny, heroic18, paolo18 and many more and their quality is top notch as well.

                            Very nice.  I love how clean the dial looks, despite being a chronograph.  I love pilot style watches…

                              Thanks. The dial/phantom chrono counter makes it for me. It's a Laco WUS ltd ed.

                                Cool.  I like the heritage behind Laco as one of the original companies for the the Flieger watches.  Maybe I'll get one someday, though I really don't need any more watches…

                                        Can anyone recommend a classy/simple watch–not read overly luxurious--that's meant to be worn with a brown leather band that will only look better with wear and can withstand an IH lifestyle?

                                          I'm a big fan of this one:

                                          Virtually scratchproof crystal, 500 meter water resistance (more than you'll ever need), solid and reliable ETA 2824 movement and a tough, lightweight titanium case.  If you look around, you can find one used for about 30-35% off retail, which makes them a very good value.

                                          You could also look for pilot/flieger style watches, which are simple, classic designs and fairly durable.  Laco, Archimede, Stowa and Steinhart all make nice ones.  Most should be suitable for moderately rough use, though typically they don't have very good water resistance.  If you're going to be getting your watch drenched on a regular basis, you should look for a diver style watch.  To my eye, they don't look as good on leather straps as they do on bracelets or straps made of rubber or nylon, though.
