Title: new shoe for my watch and some photoshoot
Post by: Gigi on August 05, 2010, 10:46:00 PM

This is the story of getting right strap for my watch. Cause the original is too long and will never fit me. :HammerHead:

Then I got myself a cheap strap from a local 2nd hand watch dealer. Its nice and fit to me, BUT the strap is too thin (look like it will break off anytime soon) and it look funny together wit a thick watch case. :HammerHead:

Then I fit an undersized nato strap (it is not meant for this watch) as a stop gap on this watch. Again its feel its "funny" for me  :HammerHead:

There are many good strap on the net like wontancraft, ted-su etc. But i did not have the guts to buy from em because i scare the strap they made cant fit small wrist and i dont have paypal or CredCard.

SO...........

I got myself a custom strap made by local guy, His nick is HalCyon. I actually met up with him and discuss on making my own strap tat fit to my criteria and watch. And few weeks later here the end products.

This is his nick in online and also in this forum
