...but I like it!

Punched my first hole ever tonight. I highly recommend it! I think the strap looks better on my 210 so it is mounted up.

I know some will say, too big, booooo, hissss, and I'm cool with that. This won't be one I wear with my suit!

MAX tail

Boom!

Needs a little breaking in to get the shape perfect, but I think it'll do nicely! Luckily my work went to casual lately so I can wear it!

nauticajoe · 20 April 2012, 09:23 AM

I like it Mik! It's got that worn out vintage look to it. Nice combo!

halim · 20 April 2012, 10:18 AM

Very nice Mik! The strap really matches the gold hands.

andrew79 · 20 April 2012, 10:58 AM

7sins · 20 April 2012, 11:08 AM

Trandy · 20 April 2012, 11:28 AM

To heck with the naysayers....that's a fine looking strap.

nick c · 20 April 2012, 11:41 AM

Cru Jones · 20 April 2012, 03:30 PM

That's some serious strap/buckle action!

eric23 · 21 April 2012, 12:35 AM

Mik Looking good to me

I Love "TAIL"

Rsvrider · 21 April 2012, 04:50 AM

Like it

rulessapt · 22 April 2012, 12:49 AM

Mik, now you have that new thick strap, must be about time to let go that thin ole ABP ;-))

Glad you like the new strap, sure is thick and looong. The 210 looks thin, maybe needs a thicker Rad?

The patina should be interesting when the strap is worn in. wear it in good health, of course.

cheers

mfer · 22 April 2012, 11:50 PM

First off, thanks everyone for the comments. I'm surprised as many of you like it. I know some of you don't like the super long tail.

I'm usually in agreement with you on this theory about thinner watch, thinner strap, but it just works better on the 210 over the 190 for some reason. I have some thick straps that don't looks good on the 210, but this one breaks the rule somehow. Further proof that every strap is different and you really just need to get lucky to find a good one for you.

Also, ABP is going no where!!!!

I'm curious as well. I'm already getting a nice buckle mark on my hole I punched and with the secondary mark already there, it looks like I wear it on my wet suit also! ;-)

Not long (like a week or so from Taiwan), but I ordered exact retro length (made to the same size as the original historic strap this was an homage to) so it was probable already pre-made.

BaltimoreBrian · 23 April 2012, 09:00 AM

I really like!

A320 · 23 April 2012, 09:46 AM
