Assuming you have a fixed route, suggest you email the shops first... don't assume the dealers have what you want

Handsome watch but quality not there

My own experience is strap breakage and 3 of my friends also same until we MO aftermarket strap together

Then my current luminox start fogging on the inside.

I will thank it for getting me into the analogue watch game but also hate it for its spoofing as a special ops watch

Guess it has been ages since I last bought a strap, let alone review one!

SNPR Straps - USA
I have always wanted to try one of SNPR's straps as reviews of Joe and his straps have always been excellent, so in Jul 2016, I placed an order for a Horween Wheat Scritto Strap, because I was intrigued with the patterns on the strap and that no two straps are alike. Furthermore, from the photos online, it seems that his straps are very soft & pliable, like a piece of cloth where if you lay it over an item, the leather conforms to the shape easily.

As Joe does all his straps himself and not outsourced, waiting times for his customised straps can range from 12 - 16 weeks, yes... up to 4 months. But since I had a few others straps :s13:, the wait didn't bother me. Ultimately, I waited 7 months for mine, with a bit of a hiccup where I requested for a strap without any buckling holes punched and he shipped one that was punched. I did not really mind but when I tried it on, the "right" buckling hole position was between 2 holes that was punched! So I reached out to Joe and he sent a replacement strap to me as soon as he could, hence it took a "bit" longer than expected. :s22:

Specs are:

  • 24/24mm
  • 125/75mm
  • Single floating wide Keeper
  • Open stitching
  • Raw, uncut/un-burnished sides
  • Brushed Pre-V SNPR buckle

Soft & Pliable

Love the "graffiti" writings on the leather strap, makes my other leather straps look plain. Softest leather strap that I owned, conforms to the wrist instantly, no need to season the strap beforehand. Only downside to having such a soft strap is that the very first time you wear it, more often than not, there will be scoring of your buckle where it meets the buckling hole.
Definitely one of my fav straps!

Happy strap hunting! :s12:

Wow... great looking strap.

Read some negative feedback on luminox. But was keen on getting a watch with tritium tubes.
Ended up getting Traser Blue Infinity.

Why so big, 42mm 4eva this Steinhart.
649x 的機芯本來就是掛錶的機種,大,是正常的。這樣大的機芯,裝入42毫米的錶壳已經算是夠薄的了。。。一般上採用44毫米的錶殼才算標準。

要再小的話,恐怕就要改用產量較少,價格更貴的pasuxe7001了。。。
