trailboss99 997 Posted July 1, 2011 Oke guys, I need a decent strap on this. What do you think? Padded, single, double or maybe flat? Croc or another exotic? Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Member X 91 Posted July 1, 2011 I'm in exactly the same situation! I'm thinking black, satin finish, well padded... Suggestions for places to shop that are reasonably priced?? There's always 'genuine croc' on ebay but I'm not sure how much I trust them... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiz 0 Posted July 1, 2011 Was asking myself the same thing. Maybe matte beige padded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 997 Posted July 1, 2011 Why don't you wait until you see what comes back from our new supplier in GZ guys? The RWG shop will soon be a source of custom straps in exotic leathers at unbeatable prices. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d1isthe1 0 Posted July 1, 2011 Amazing piece col .. very neat.. dark brown choco padded .. imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scavolas 0 Posted July 1, 2011 Definitely brown (middle-to-dark hue), crocodile style, medium padded and light or nor visible stiching. Is it just my ignorance but I'm clueless what DW stands for? By the way, it is a marvellous watch, perhaps would be even more so without Roman numeral marks. It should have cost close to 700 USD, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 997 Posted July 1, 2011 Dark red/brown lightly padded croc it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolroy 0 Posted July 1, 2011 Dark red/brown lightly padded croc it is. Yep mine arrived today too, needs a new strap for sure. Currently sat on the timegrapher & showing +6 seconds per day error, (watch fully wound). The watch face is better than i expected although a little dissapointed that mine also came with black hands, I think the blue shown in pic 1 would suit better. The movement seemed smooth & the beat is good according to timegrapher, my eyesight & hearing is crap so i lean heavily on the machine to tell me how things are going. Good value for money overall i would think, & I am happy to add this to my small but growing collection. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dingle 57 Posted July 1, 2011 cool watch TB. I love the breguet type hands. Croc or another exotic fo sho! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 997 Posted July 1, 2011 Well it can't be 52deg because I get some real weird readings at that. Amplitude of some 340deg (varies from 300 to 344) which is impossible and between -8 and +12 sec a day! Beat error is good, about 2ms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aren 27 Posted July 1, 2011 Trailboss that watch is completely stunning. Really, really beautiful. I think any strap you choose would look great, and the nice thing about straps is...you can change them for a new look. With a watch that lovely, you need to have a few different straps, so you can change the look in a subtle way...whenever you feel like it. Congratulations on that lovely timepiece and wear it in good health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolroy 0 Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) Well it can't be 52deg because I get some real weird readings at that. Amplitude of some 340deg (varies from 300 to 344) which is impossible and between -8 and +12 sec a day! Beat error is good, about 2ms Normally i leave any new watch for 3-4 weeks before i adjust anything.... but after watching this tourbie at +36secs too aprox +42secs in 4 positions i had to play. The removal of caseback stem & mounting screws revealed that the movement actually has to be removed from the front...sigh. After removing the front glass & adjusting / checking in 4 positions only i now have -5secs error typically, amp 260, beat error 0.1ms to 0.2ms but the time error is very variable even with a twenty second gate time..sheesh. Sorry to say the movement does not appear as consistent in its performance compared to my BK DSSD 28800 which has been adjusted (two months ago approx) & yet remains at +1sec error,amp 302, beat 0.0ms . Beautiful watch the Tourbie, just need to get me some blue hands, a new strap & then see if the movement settles down with use.

Big Tex 0 Posted July 3, 2011 Shoot...I'd get a couple of straps for it....a burgundy and a black. The black one would be a Panatime gator strap....mainly because I have 7 or 8 of them now on other watches....and the burgundy one would have a croc embossing on it.
