Natty CXL watchband - $40
These are surprisingly from Orlando, FL, which is about an hour from where I was raised.

Support this guy, very nice quality bands.

I like it, is this going to be your daily beater, would be interesting to see how it will look in some time…

[urbanwoodsman]

I'll probably switch between this one and the one Jii made me. This one is much darker, but I think it will age well.

You're killing me, mine haven't arrived yet! Should be here next week though, all being well.

Very nice find. You're gonna love it.

I'll probably get a black CXL one next.

I see there some good potential for nice ageing…

Can't wait. Yours looks great in the pictures.

Looks like my watch straps had arrived after all, but were with our neighbour! The postman had neglected to pop a card through the door letting us know.

In an act of Christmas awesomeness, they sent me a free black 22mm black CXL strap to go with my two natural ones!

The 22mm natural is very cool, as is the free black one. Sadly, through no fault of the strap, the 18mm strap is too chunky for my watch (very little room between the spring bar and watch case).

So, to carry on the Christmas cheer, I'm going to give away the 18mm to the first person who posts below saying they want it. Just PM your details.

edit: j/k…don´t think it´s going to fit to my watches and my wrist! so who´s next?

[michaeljcr]

See, that's what you get for only having big watches…

[Finn666]

yeah, just checked and i need at least 22mm…18mm just doesn´t look right on my wrist imo!

I love this thing.

Like that.

One of my British customers is spamming me with pics of him wearing the watch I want….

At least he's got some 705's on.

You're not getting the None So Black edition then Giles?

[Anesthetist]

So awesome G….and so pricey.

@Graeme:

Nope -  don't think the black is so readable…

[Giles]

@Anesthetist:

and so pricey.

Yes, it is.  But I will make at least double what I paid for the PP and the JLC, the profit will pay for most of the Blancpain, the balance can pay off the loan on the Land Rover…...Sorted

I've noticed the prices of a lot of watches have gone up dramatically in the last few years too, which is surprising given the state of the economy.

The Blancpain looks gorgeous, though I might be tempted to get the Jaeger LeCoultre diving watch instead. The Memovox Tribute to Deep Sea and Master Compressor Navy Seals both add an alarm, which is a useful complication.

That said, I really regret not picking up the Rado Sintra Skeleton that I saw on sale in London over the summer. (OK, there were good financial reasons for not doing so.) It's a bit different, and a lot less macho than sports watches. It doesn't look quite so Las Vegas in the flesh either.
