Thanks Greg, they're both great watches and work well as a pair covering most scenarios. It'd be difficult to flip either so I guess that I'll just have to add to the collection!

Personally, I can't stand machine stitched straps either. It's just a preference I guess.

I knew Peter Gunny made the strap by himself. 100% handmade.

And I believe Ted Su is hand made too : www.teddy-straps.com

All mine are 100% handmade as well. Technically, hand-sewn is stronger, but really, you will never notice unless you really like to get careless with your watch.

Glad to see Bo getting some play here, I've been preaching these for awhile now. I've got several straps from Bo and each one gets better. All hand stitched and custom designed/made.
