What time is it? Watches and horology

Job A may be missing a vital gap in the market.

Ha!

kevlar will probably smell just as bad if not worse.
get a proper leather strap that is not padded.

and wash.

Its not really a question of smell, just a nice smart looking durable strap. Plenty of people already make them but not in any sort of size that fits my puny wrist.
This is the sort of thing Im on about

my straps shouldn't smell too much, or take in moisture, as they are doubled over, so there is the smooth side front and back.

What is that brand ClockworkKilla?

why kevlar? - its only good at resisting cutting - its actually quite poor at resisting abrasion

to go with the bulletproof watch

I'd shoot you in the face, not the wrist.

oh andy... that was the joke... I shake my head at you..

Nato straps. Got a £5 one off ebay, is it worth spending more on them? If yes, where's good?

a friend of mine paid 12-15 for his. you could definitely see the difference in quality between mine and his. but mine was free.

Think they are Maratac straps. I'm also thinking of one of these after seeing a picture that someone had taken with one fitted to the same watch I have.

cheers r2s!!! nice one!

Maratac Elite Series

^Yup, Maratac elites. I ordered one a while back, really nice straps but just way too big for my wrist and I dont have the tools to punch new holes in it.

Where though? Tinternet seems rather sparse for the black with red stitching

I got mine off ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/20mm-Soft-Rubber-Diver-Strap-Maratac-Fit-OMEGA-RED-20-/120702970784?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c1a752ba0 not sure what size youll need but they should have them in most common widths.

You could also try West Coast Time although I can never get them to reply to my emails so I have no idea if they are still operating http://www.westcoastime.com/20mmcomawaba1.html

This will be mine...

I'm also biding on that and have a bottomless pit of a budget...

Murtz, these are hideous jokes, no doubt some delusional clueless idiots will splash their hard earned but isn't that a prerequisite for capitalism. Oh the irony.

I can almost hear the mewling now - "Oh gosh Fenton it's not Amazonian hardwood it's sourced from a pinewood pallet in a Peckham skip - totally kosher, yah?"...

:)

Ha. Cunt.

I guess we'll see who's bottom is bigger or something.

I'm sniffing around this too although I have no desire to know the size/depth of either bottom.

Anal puns, don't even go there. It can only get messy, I shit you not.

I've gone NATO on my everyday after busting the strap.

Will report back with results.

Mumble's leather NATO FTW.
