I had ordered this Crazy Horse strap from Greg Stevens 2 weeks ago.
This was my first Paypal purchase, everything went fine, after the delay in setting up my account.
It arrived thursday night. The first night, I was a bit unsure of the thickness of the strap & how the buckle lay on the strap. But after a days wearing , it was broken in great:thumbsup:
Extremely comfortable strap. I went with a 80mm x 125 mm. Next one might be the darker brown and go a bit shorter.
I don't think the OEM strap will be back on for quite a while now:thumbsup:

I have used eBay with total success for many years now, including all three of my perfectly marvelous Rollies. Good job on this one for sure! :agree:

One of my favorite straps that only gets better ad better with time mate!! Looks super on the Fiver, but can you imagine how great that would look on a BASE Logo? :thumbsup: :chuckle:

Bloody 'ell - that's the John Holmes of straps! :rofl:
Really nice and I've only heard good things about Greg's CH straps.
How are you doing with straps for your 98, John? It's one of my all-time favourite Panerai. The OEM gator looks great but can/have you bought 3rd party straps for the Radiomir?

Another cool thing about the 98 is your 24mm straps fit the smaller Rad perfectly! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I have not bought any other straps for the 98 yet.
I might try this CH on it later. Will post some pics if I do.
While in TO, the AD had a Base Logo in stock. I had to pass on it, but I still have mine on order with my local.
My wife really likes the CH also. I might just end up ordering another CH ( not sure if I will go white or brown stiching). She has the 219, currently only has a dark brown gator.
Greg also has a nice looking black with white stich that has caught my eye.

As GREG about his new gator pattern calf for the Mrs. John, it is a knockout!!

I just sent Greg an email, thanking him for the quick delivery of his strap & mentioned about TRF.
He asked about the forum & I invited him to come & check us out.

Nice strap John. :thumbsup: Can you wear a long sleeve shirt with it seeing how thick it is?
Launch Mini

The strap is 4 mm, so where the keeper is, it is close to 16 mm.
I only have a couple long sleeve shirts that even accomodate a Pan on a regualr strap.
I did have a jacket on last night, that worked.
Luckily I can wear SS Shirts to work.

Looks great John. NOthing but good things are said about the CH.
Not sure I like it on the 98, personally, though. To me that's more a gator-all-the-way type watch. It would look yummy on a black gator with white stitch, really dress it up purdy!

I agree - I think the 98 looked better on the strap you had it on.....of course whatever makes you happy is what is important. :cheers:

Hey Launch,
The strap is a perfect match for the Fiver as well as your awaited Logo.
I am not sure why I have yet to pull the trigger on 1, but it is something I should be doing very shortly.
Mixed on the looks of the 98 with the CH..agree the OEM strap is a match made in heaven.
(i have been dreaming about the PAM 98) ever since I was able to try yours on. Congrats on the strap!
