Watches - another OCD problem
-
Scratches and an irritating strap change system aside, it's a classic.
-
Dunno what the strap change regime is on that, but I have been putting off putting a new strap on my 50 Fathoms for weeks now, because it is just so fucking hard......
-
@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?
-
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.....

@Go-For-Chill strap is not

@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!
-
Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll check it out
-
@StarsSuck love delugs straps. Good quality and they dont cost an arm and a leg.
-
@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
Edit: like this trench color the best

@StarsSuck love the watchmakers 4 on the Santos
-
Might as well post mine. I’ve posted it before with a really weird perspective where it looked like it was gigantic lol
-
Missed the posting party yesterday...but here's mine on the (insanely overpriced) OEM green strap. My usual summer setup for this watch.
-
Looks nice with a green strap

@Giles amazing watch and a beautiful gift
