Just purchased an ultimate santos 100 from TTW hoping somebody could help me on a decent strap for it, preferably black.

 

Heard about HK Tan, anymore info would be great.

 

Thanks

Hi mate. Best go and introduce yourself in the New Members' area. You'll be made welcome there.

 

Also, this is in the wrong place for a question like this - not a review so you won't have much visibility in this section. This stuff is best in the General Discussion area.

You'll find HK Tan (Aaron) as a listed strap maker on RG and in the new dealer section over at RWI. I had Aaron make a custom hornback strarp for my Santos 100 and absolutely love it! I had no problem with Aaron. some have said he's slow.

Not bad, considering he's the only custom strap maker that I'm aware of for a custom Santos. When I was looking, I contacted almost all the makers and know one would do it.

 

BTW - Best to ask a Mod to delete your duplicate post in gen.

thanks for that. have emailed him on his personal email. What do you think of this.... http://www.ttw888.co...roducts_id=6517

 

That's the exact version I purchased from TT. IMO, it's the best version of the Santos, hands down!

 

The price is a little high, but it comes with the complete box set which is very good. I do know some members have been able to get the same version with a less expensive movt., SW200 or Asian but I never found it. When I received mine from TT, my local watchsmith confirmed it had a Swiss ETA 2824-2 movt. and it was in excellent condition.

If you haven't already done so, it's always a good idea to check availability of a rep with TD before sending payment. I know a while back, this ver. was a bit scarce.
