Watches - another OCD problem

StarsSuck

@Giles it's not so much the challenge here, but the limitations: they have a "proprietary" system which they sue to protect. Meaning few strap options and I like strap options! What's the deal with the 50 fathoms?

Giles

0.5mm allen screws through the lug into the strap bar. Seeing what you are doing is one thing, lining the fuckers up is another. And I like to Loctite the threads, so I get that everyfuckingwhere.....

@Giles sounds like good fun!

Love the Santos. Maybe I need to switch straps on mine so I’d wear it more. Right now I just have the black alligator it came with. If I change anything, I’d probably go with something a little more casual.

@northsouthdenimguy Delugs has some of those sporty straps with the correct lug mechanism. I dig the green one. Should make the watch more sport and less dress!

@StarsSuck

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll check it out

@StarsSuck love delugs straps. Good quality and they dont cost an arm and a leg.

StarsSuck

@Anesthetist indeed! They blew up so fast. You used to be able to email Ken and ask for shipping updates! Tried Handdn as well if you haven't already. Don't think they do Santos straps though

Oh well, their straps do not fit the Santos 100 XL.

These canvas straps would be pretty cool and decent prices. If anybody has recommendations or something similar by another company or small maker let me know
