New strap on.......

Recommended Posts

cvp3

Just picked up a bunch of new straps from CheapNatoStraps and BluShark. Full disclosure, I am a sucker for 5 ring NATOS and I am surprisingly impressed with the BluShark "cheaper" straps, that after all discounts were about $5.50 apiece. Enough talk.....now we strap.

Fifty Four 62mas homage. Came on a black/red rally strap that didn't fit the watches character. New NATO picks up the dial color and red accents.....me likey!

Sharky Turtles. Surprisingly I just keep liking these watches more every day. New straps with PVD rings for PVD case and brushed rings for brushed case. Ahhh, I can sleep tonight without an OCD panic attack.

Mondaine Quartz Chronograph that came on a cheap leather (probably vinyl) strap that just looks WAY better on a BluShark strap.

Also have the Mondaine Stop2Go + backlight lumed hands watch coming on an equally ugly red vinyl strap and have another BluShark strap in waiting to ambush it.

That's what happens when you don't request help from a good pro... Pickle was trying to help him in the SB

VOSTOK arrived today. My first 24 hour watch, which is pretty cool. Love the dial, the lume, the case and the domed crystal. The crown is shite once you fully extend to time set. It's just super wobbly. The bezel rotates, but no clicks, just smooth. Finally the bracelet is crap as most stated it would be. I tried for 30 minutes and the pins would not release. Actually bent my sizing tool. Oh well, looks better on a NATO any way. Bought a super engineer bracelet for it, but thought better of it. Definitely worth the $67 I paid for an automatic diver with 24hr clock....but not a penny more.

New model Vostok, and yes, definitely a 24 hour 31 jewel hand-winder. Nice movement and my first REAL 24 hour watch. All for under $67.

Pretty much all my vintage Vostoks are like that.

Do you have a link for that 24h Vostok ?

Should we DM you?

I don't want to be a bother, but me thinks I must have that!

Just need to sneak it in as I just ordered 2 cheapos for try out the other day.

@Glaude

Heres the link. He accepted $61 from me after some back and forth. Obviously start lower. Using befrugal and ebays current 8% makes my deal repeatable.
