New Shoes for the Old Subs

It's nice to change up at times from the 9315 steel bracelet and feel like you have a new watch. I recently purchased a couple of straps (horween cordovan and vintage leather) that are the finest leather I've owned. They are soft, supple and most comfortable. I see them getting better with age, much like the watches. Straps are compliments of Jedly and quite reasonable priced.

Below shot of the cordovan dark tan which I think sets off the red 1680, even with my limited photo skills. Another option, the vintage dark brown is waiting on his 5513 mate, currently in line for some TLC at Bob Ridley's.

Thanks for looking!

-Allan

These luxurious vintage straps are a great addition to classic Oysters.
Well done!
