Yet another 312

From the posts here, you'd think there were tons of of these on people's wrists in the wild! Just arrived Friday, and can't get it off my wrist. An absolutely amazing piece. Now I've just got to figure out which straps I'm going to buy for it!

Congratulations and nice photos. Likewise I'm considering a couple of additional straps. What are you thinking on for the straps?

Lots of choices out there. Think I'm going to start with a couple, and go from there. I want one to be casual/sporty, and another to be a little bit dressier, though not as dressy as the OEM croc. Have spent literally hours this weekend scouring the sites of about a dozen strapmakers. Think I'm going to pick up a Greg Stevens Crazy Horse II, and probably one of his black straps.

I share the same feeling with you. Its an amazing piece. And yes I started to have the strap fever... waiting for a strap from H18 and I am just as thrilled as if I am getting a new watch again!

The 312 is an AWESOME watch and congrats! I personally love the OEM gators/crocs.

Congrats, why did you go with the 312 over the GMT version?

Similar to the challenge that I have. I got a second OEM (brown alligator) when I purchased the watch, they're great straps but at the formal end of styling. I have an dark brown H18 en-route and quite like the straps from Kaktus or Mario Paci but need to keep the spending under control! Good luck with your choice.

Meant to say, just looked at the Crazy Horse II and it looks really good also.
