Sadly Bulang and Sons are out of stock of their 19mm vintage straps.

 

Not to worry though because hopefully

Yeah I've had one done by him before that I was really happy with, and as you say for a UK strap maker he's reasonably priced.

But time will tell.

 

I got this too but it doesn't *really* qualify as "Vintage" ;)

I bought one of those a few weeks back as well Storm. Lovely watch. Unfortunately the crown and stem came out the first time I tried to set it and the rotor wouldn't work inside so it's been sent off for some work. I was a bit disappointed the crown was not an 8mm Brevet like the gen as well (I am talking about the Heritage obviously, not the Tona)

Oh man, that sucks balls! :(

 

Beautiful looking watch for something a bit "different" and yeah, it's a shame the crown isn't 8mm but I don't *really* mind since it's only tosspots that buy Project X gens anyway! :D

Very nice Vic... have you tried sizing the bracelet on the goldie yet? Personally, I'd rather have a root canal. My third and final goldie is en route, and this time I'm not even gonna touch the bracelet - I'm just gonna swap it out for a leather nato with gold hardware. What made you go for the gold dial instead of the black one?

Not tried it yet. Just tried the watch on for a few minutes then put it on my "display shelf" unadjusted as I'm not 100% sure it's a keeper yet.

Would love to see a collection shot when your last one arrives, mostly to see what it looks like on something other than the bracelet. Choose the combo I did because I don't like the gold subdials or gold bezel/insert and I think gold dial/gold case/gold bracelet works best. :)

Good point Vic. I bought a black leather NATO and a honey brown NATO - both with gold hardware, so we'll see how that looks. I also bought a genuine black alligator strap and a vintage tropic rubber strap like the one LHOOQ posted a pic of earlier in this thread. I have enough rolexes on bracelets so trying something different. I'll post pics when they all come in.

http://www.cheapestnatostraps.com

The left column is the main menu; you can either click on gold NATO, or leather NATO for both silver and gold. They don't have 19mm - just 18mm and 20mm, so either shave down a 20, or thread-wrap an 18. Or just live with the small gap like I plan to do.
