Watches - another OCD problem

[Giles]

Great idea,  I will drop them a note when the watch comes back.  Thanks, G

Anyone had any personal experience with Toshi straps?

I've got one, strap is good, customer service is excellent.

Good to know what one's dealing with

@BLACKFROSTT:

My 4 1/2 year old daily worn Marathon Chronograph Pilot Watch  (It's a beast!)

I just bought a Feit handmade Bund Strap watchband for it (In naturale)

From the site:
The Bund Strap watchband was first used by WWII pilots because of its insulating properties. The leather band would ensure that the watch face would not freeze or burn a pilot’s wrist as they were exposed to extreme conditions.

Feit Strap finally showed up today after a one month 6 day trip from "down unda"!




Installed and I LIKE IT!

Me too. Awesome strap and service. He's very, very serious about meeting his self imposed deadlines as well. My only complaint is the watch I got the strap for is currently broken! The strap was tougher than the Lum-Tec!

Natty CXL watch strap for $40???

[michaeljcr]

I thought it was worth a look. Bought two in 'Natural', one 18mm (stainless steel stud) for a smaller aviator watch, and one 22mm with a black stud for a Seiko 007 my GF just gave me as a present. I'd like the more expensive cordovan, but they were out of the colours I wanted and, to be honest, I got two of these for the same price and they look pretty good!

Vostok Amphibia is a great watch for the price.  I dig those old Russian movements, too.  Rough looking as hell, but tough.

Nothing huge, but it's first watch I got myself with my first paycheck. This is a good feeling…

Congrats mate!.. 

[michaeljcr]

Awesome mate, I'm wearing the 007 variety myself at the moment on (yes I'm sad) a NATO James Bond Strap. I like the GMT bezel on yours though, very cool.

Bought a Vostok off eBay after i saw that. Lucifer, I'm blaming you for this one…

[ronaldlsh]

Thanks Seul and michaeljcr!

I'm already looking at the one with the black bezel (007J)! Perhaps would get it in the next few months.
