Luthier 1 Posted July 30, 2009 Still wearing this. New shoes again, though - I ordered a couple of straps for it and the first one arrived yesterday. A really nice dark blue sharkskin. The colouring is more subtle than it appears in the pic, but you get the idea. Very comfortable and beautifully made. I think this one is a keeper. Where people buy sharkskin???

greg_r 82 Posted July 30, 2009 Where people buy sharkskin??? You'll need a leather supplier that specialises in exotic skins, I suspect. Apparently shark is kinda difficult to get hold of as it's strictly controlled... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted July 30, 2009 GO PARNIS OR GO HOME Damn you!!! I want this watch badly, but they've stopped coming up on the bay recently it seems, grrrrr, apart from on £50 BIN sales... I want it, but not that badly! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

houndoggie 58 Posted July 30, 2009 Yep... the "calistyle". The fiddy looks good on the shark, greg_r. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 82 Posted July 30, 2009 Thanks HD. To be honest, seeing the blue strap on your Fiddy was what decided me on trying a blue strap myself. I've also got a rather nice looking brown calf strap on the way, but I don't think I'll be using it on this watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
