My new 74 for my 372

So happy this strap came this morning. It fits me better than the oems that came with the 372 (which are great straps btw). Very happy I get to wear this out and in time for the weekend. The other watch is my Helson Buccaneer GMT on a gunny. That's my beater when I manage to pry the 372 off my wrist.

Looks great, what size did you get and what is your wrist size? I'm pondering ordering a very long one.

6.5" wrist and thinking of going exact retro (~100/160) or going custom with 95/155.

Mik, I went 75 x 130 (26mm of course). My wrist is also about 6.5 (maybe a tad under). If I went up to 135mm, I think the tail would be touching the 74. Take a look a the wrist shots.

Looks great. IMO this is the best strap for 372.

Very cool. I'm thinking of something other than 74 so covering it won't be an issue, and I want it all the way back to the lugs. It won't be an office strap that is for sure!

Amazing quality. Very happy with wotancraft. I had others for 24mm too that are equally awesome.

Perfect strap for the 372.
I'm in love with the 74 straps. I like more the leather from wotancraft but I prefer the writing from the gunny.

I saw the gunny & wontancraft and actually went for the Malio strap as I liked the darker writing and black highlights on the strap

Thanks! I agree. I'm glad it came today. I think I ordered it a day after I bought it! It's been less than a month, but the clock was ticking mighty slow.

I got a nice key chain. Wasn't expecting that. Very nice. It has the submarine on it. No box with this one, but a nice cloth pouch. The strap on my Helson is a gunny. Was going to sell it after I sold my 312 since that was what it was intended for, but once I slapped it on my Helson, it's a keeper. I have a 'fudge' strap on the way soon from Peter right now actually. There's a few strap makers I haven't tried yet but will one day. Ted Su, Dirk, Kevin, I hear are great too. So far I've only tried Wotan, Peter, Montana and Mario Paci. I've been more than satisfied will all the straps so far.

PS - I do have that Marina Militare Box from a previous order. I use it to store my pencils and pens. Very nice box!
