Guys

As promised, my new red quickly relieved of her old and uncomfortable 9315 and nicely set up on an ABP black ostrich with red stitching and red lining

WouterN · 11 May 2011, 10:43 PM

Nice and matching!

johnbeth · 11 May 2011, 10:45 PM

Very Nice!! ABP make awesome straps, I know as I have for my daytona.

ob1 · 11 May 2011, 10:52 PM

Looks great Steve. Congrats on finding such a pristine example. wear her in the best of health

lhanddds · 11 May 2011, 11:10 PM

Looks nice

slcbbrown · 11 May 2011, 11:12 PM

Nice choice. How was ABP to deal with?

DiamondJack · 11 May 2011, 11:26 PM

ABP were absolutely excellent.

A guy called Greg who's e-mail is abp-paris@orange.fr He speaks and writes fluent English and I just agreed by e-mail what i wanted and sizes etc and he confirmed price which I simply paid by paypal and had it delivered in about a week (to the UK).

You should check out their website....some absolutely amazing straps to drool over everything from stingray to elephant skin....

www.abp-paris.com

Quite expensive though.... this was EUR 350 including the deployant clasp. But you do get them made to measure which is great if you have large/small wrists.

They do what they call "thick end attachments" which I particularly like and even though you can't really see it in the photo that well, means the leather ends curve to fit the watch. Similar to an Ofrei racing strap which I have on my 69 Speedy.

conrail · 11 May 2011, 11:56 PM

kareemthedream33 · 12 May 2011, 12:09 AM

Looks great - I love how the stitching matches.

Thanks for posting.

dalip · 12 May 2011, 08:32 AM

Great combo - still like the bracelet though....something about it being original. But that is a sweet strap and suits the watch well.

sleddog · 12 May 2011, 08:47 AM

It works well...I like it!

rockyn · 12 May 2011, 09:22 AM
