Hi, Andrew - this is another custom strap . . .
. . . from Attila Aszodi Designs in cayman over shell cordovan. I'm hooked on this combination for dress watches because it's so pliable . . . no other leather in my experience has this incredibly plush texture.
The scale pattern is fascinating, and the coloration of medium brown with hints of dark brown and black are also to my liking, but the critical reason for sourcing this strap is comfort, due to both the materials used as well as the custom fit.

Almost Friday here. My attempt at interpretative pics. Guess the watch?
Guess the model ROSE gold PRINCE!...
Yes, my friend! Wonderful choice and watch. Will follow you with ...
A rough but lovely Vintage one, too: Promises of long waited holidays. HAGWE, Nicolas....
one of my favorites...
I was wearing mine yesterday! Enjoy your vacation...Spring is here...Matt
Alas, Vacations are only in my dreams, for the moment.
It is just an avant gout. Best, Nicolas.
No holidays/vacations for Vlad until...
he learns to behave...That means leave the damsels alone ;-) Looks like it is getting on on your roof top Nicolas. So you can enjoy some down time there. Best, my friend, -- Richard.
Red like Hell, nice like a Demon...
That is an evil watch, for sure. Best, and thanks, Richard. Nicolas.
Probably my favorite of any photo you have taken
Love those roof tiles and the way they complement the strap and aged lume. This message has been edited by mrsnak on 2011-04-08 12:58:30
It is true that I used and abused of these Roof Tiles Shots...
But they so well enhance the patina of our beloved Vintage that I can't resist... Best, Nicolas.
think it is very fine instead of rough...
... looking at those very sharp edges of patina hour markers... i would said they are very fine, not rough at all thanks for bringing her back to our attention again.. it catches my eye very much... lovely vintage indeed!!! stefan
Rolex 1675 featuring my all time favourite pilot Chuck Yeager
for ya Nicholas, my fav GMT advert featuring Mr Chuck Yeager Best, Horo...
Thanks, Horo... Just one question...
Do you have Chuck Yeager's GMT? Don't tell me yes, I could ban you with envy. Best, Nicolas.
I WISH!!!!!!
sadly, NO! just that the GMT is my favourite Rolex, i have got most of the "modern" range, but nothing beats my old trusty 1675. best, Horo
LOL Horo! Well my favorite pilot can literally fly circles around yours.
HAGWE! -- Richard....
thats what you think...lets see if you can top this!!
this two would fly circles round Buzz Aldrin!! HAGWE best, Horo...
that's a serious port
enjoy. Loved the Chuck Yeager ad too - thanks for that walk down memory lane. Best Andreas
Horo, you have very nice vintage in your drawer :-)
... should show me ore as you know i love vintage very much, especially seeing yours such great example. stefan
It is mandatory to get this bracelet.
But it is not mandatory to wear it. In my opinion, it doesn't fit with the natural elegance of this watch. Best, my lucky amigo. Nicolas.
Allow me to disagree
IMHO looks nice, in particular on the pic that compares with the advertising. Of course, it's a "hair puller" and I can understand your restrictions to use. . Cheers...
Not so many hairs to pull on me… ;)
To be honest – I kind of like the look. But not the feel… Too “loose”… HAGWE Blomman
Na…
I don’t think this bracelet will stay on for long… But I will have to give it a chance! HAGWE, my friend Blomman
seeing this combo again...
... which makes me changing my mind... it looks not bad now stefan
A vintage Rolex deserves . . .
. . . a vintage Omega . . . . . . counterpart ;-) . . ....
Interesting strap ...
... and I know you will have put a lot of thought into it, Art. What were the reasons for the color / texture / material? Now you are certainly officially certified! Andrew

Art, did not see this before on your wrist...
... is it Cal. 602? when did you get this? very nice condition, Art. stefan
Yes, Stefan, it's a cal 602 . . .
. . . and it's new to my collection. Condition both physically and mechanically is excellent - a watchmaker essentially refused to service it because it's running perfectly.
Almost Friday here too
I'm on the road this week, so have taken only one watch with me - the MIH. Walking the beaches of Puget Sound, I was looking for driftwood, pretty shells and sunshine. All I saw was a seagull and ... wait. A glint between the rocks A drifting watch? Washe...
Some guys have all the luck.
All I find on the beach are sticks and broken bottles. Best, Horo
congratulations on that "find"
the GST perpetual is an amazing piece of Schaffhausen engineering. Enjoy! Andreas
It really is Friday here!
...and to prove it, check the date on my Geo HAGWE, everyone! Best, Gary G...
great shot of that Geo
I never noticed the red highlights on that dial before, but they add a lot of life to this watch. I am glad they have a new version of the Geo in their lineup now because it really is a timeless design. Best Andreas
I am impressed with the new Geo as well
Thanks for your comment, Andreas -- I appreciate it! The new Geo is a very nice update on the concept -- great to see a return to classic form by JLC. Best, Gary
Thanks, doubleup!
I'm working on my wristshot technique, having been concentrating mostly on static watch shots over the past few years...great to get some positive feedback! Please also take a look at the JLC forum masthead here, which is a static shot of the same piece. ...
I do like the multi-layer structure of this dial -- a lot
One of my few reservations about the new Geo is that they removed the raised chapter ring that sits above the city display. This does lend a classic look to the dial, but also takes away some of the depth and (to me) gives a bit of an impression that the ...
Something old but new to me arrived this week...
An unusual Omega Genève from 1964. More detail in Omega forum. Our weekend will only be sunny if Red Sox finally win a game. Home opener this afternoon. Ginger...
Thanks.
By the way, I have a chance to buy a Memovox E873 from my regular dealer when it emerges from the workshop - I haven't seen it or had a price quoted yet, so no one is obligated. Do you think I should pull the trigger or hold out for one of the other hi be...
i know you...
... you must carry the joy of your new catch to this weekend... very elegant Geneve with the Caliber 600 which i like it very much. stefan
Anything is "open to interpretation" ...
Even the simplest of photos ... HAGWE Regards, Richard....
Wow, Richard.. It seems that you have a big love affair with this PSM! [nt]

The honeymoon period will end and
regular rotation will commence again soon. The love will not end though. Regards, Richard.
OK, I'll offer my interpretation of my photo
and perhaps this reflects my mental age ..... I see a giant serpent, the Basilisk, also known as the King of Serpents, fleeing before the fiery phoenix (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets). Regards, Richard.
Guess the watch...lets play
Latest addition to the vintage divers theme... So who guesses?.... HAGWE, Matt...
