Custom Strap with Chrono Avenger

My custom Red12 strap mounted on my Breitling Chrono Avenger.

Custom Strap by Red12 Straps

I "designed" a strap and it was made by Zack from Red12 straps. Here are photos from Zack's bench.

Glycine Lagunare

This is the first and only 24mm lug size watch I have. I really like the size and the simple design of this Glycine. It come with the original brown leather strap and an extra carbon strap.







Don Ginsler advertised his straps on the TZ sales corner and I was attracted to custom made weave strap as seen on Lagunare.









This watch is one of my favorites and is a keeper for now.

Di-Modell Jumbo Strap

I was looking around for a nice strap for my Seiko Diver's 7002-7020 and came across The Straps Shop. They got excellent photos of various strap with various watches. This really allow buyers to see how the strap would look on their watch, which is definitely an asset because I have bought straps that look good on its own but not with my watch. (That's why I end up with so many straps I don't wear anymore.)

The Di-modell Jumbo waterproof strap really caught my attention and I have seen other Divers with tan strap that looked really good.

Since they are located in the UK, I decided to find a dealer in the U.S. as I can't wait to get the strap on my Seiko. I read a lot about Freda Watch Straps on WatchUseek and decided to go with them. Shipping cost is only $1.50, which is very reasonable. I am sure if you order more than 1 strap, it would be more worth it. I placed my ordered on Saturday and it arrived today (Monday), which is really fast :)

Ken from FWS was nice enough to include a strap removal tool, which is a really handy tool to have if you intend to "pimp" your watch with different straps.



Doesn't it look great on my Seiko? I couldn't be happier with this strap. Looks like a keeper, finally!

Pilot Bracelet for Breitling Intruder

This watch came with the original Breitling 20mm dark blue leather strap but I decided not to use (since it was brand new). Instead, I bought a-look-alike Ostrich leather band for and a blue silicon band to replace it for wearing.

While browsing eBay one day, I came across an after market stainless steel Pilot bracelet with all the Breitling markings and logo. You don't usually see many of these after market Breitling bracelet with markings and logo. Price was 10% of what the real thing cost, so I went for it.

I hard abit of a hard time fitting the lugs maybe because it is an after market one or just maybe this watch was not mean to be worn with the Pilot bracelet but the Professional bracelet. Here is what it looks like:


I would say that apart from the markings and logo on the deployment bucket and clasp, no one would really be able to tell that I had a fake Breitling bracelet on. Can you?
