Will do!

Some paisley tooling on dark brown leather would look real unique and "British" to go with your brand's namesake. Is that a on piece of leather of two bonded together? Hard to tell in picture

I only have a cheap Fossil watch, love your nice watches fellas! Always wanted to have a nice watch collection but still can't justify spending that kind of money on one, gorgeous though. Bobby that strap is very good looking brother!!!

Yachmaster II, I think is Rolex most new compelling model in a long time. I do like GMT's and Rolex has done a good job with them over the years.

Invicta Signature Russian Diver
Men's Invicta Lefty Russian Diver
Invicta Lefty Russian Diver Black
Sort of wedding present to myself. I'm thinking the 1st one, or the 2nd one more than the 3rd. They're all pretty cheap too.

I have the RD offshore ,the crown guard is about half the size and it's super comfortable for such a big watch.

RD = Russian Diver, the style of that watch. Of course the crown is what sets the time and the RD's have a large canteen shaped cap that screws on over the crown. Depending on the watch and your build, from time to time they can dig into the back of your hand a bit.

wow one day.

deaster25 · 03-11-2012, 01:15 PM

Later this month I'm going to see what kind of watch I can trade my 6 month old $1000 wedding band in for.

s15driftking · 03-11-2012, 09:03 PM

Well, i have been a "leathersmith" for 2 weeks now (lol).

Here'swhat I have come up with thus far.they are either 24mm or 26mm and SUPER long.

I guess I started making them because i needed long straps. Most are about 85mm + 155mm
