FC uses eta movement as their base, much like longines, oris. FC made inhouse mvt too, not seen any complains

Summarize in 250 words or less please. :)

Introduced him to Seiko and Rolex watches then taught him about divers and such. Also told him these watches normally have nicknames such as hulk,smurf,pepsi and batman. He said he liked the batman. :s13:

Python skin. Haha abit hard for me to pull it off. But it's definitely a conversation starter. Best done to pick up girls in clubs. Lol

Seems like this python hide is catching on! :)

Is yours polished or unpolished? If it is unpolished, the scales will curl up over time so that you have more a texture.

My wife's python strap is starting to do that after a year of wearing it and she loves it!

@gaoxing: Haha! That remains to be seen. ;)

@azriel: umm.. I didn't specify though.. Should be unpolished I guess? That's good to hear! Actually.. I'm more concerned about the scales dropping off over a long period of usage (hopefully it doesn't.)

Guys.. Is the foam that's used in the boxy watch winder to hold the watch flexible? My existing winder can't hold my watch anymore with my new strap because of the plastic attachment that's too big for my short strap.

Many thanks.

That's the great thing about genuine snake skin, the scales may curl outwards but they will not drop off, unless you peel them off!

:D
