I need a new strap for my chronograph - old one was military style canvas and leather but is falling apart.
I was thinking Nato or Zulu style but don't really know much about them other than pics I've seen online. anyone have experience with either?

- you don't have to worry about banging them up.pinkfloyd
- You can also get different colorspinkfloyd
- hmm. i do have a thin wrist... they did look a little bulky in pics.Gnash
- but you're right. they're pretty cheap so not a huge loss if it doesn't work out. cheers, pink :)Gnash
- there's an extra bulk on top, like here which whill make your wrist look smaller http://i147.photobuc…pinkfloyd
- thanks :)Gnash
- Nato straps only look good on Rambo or the Predator, strong wrists.SoulFly
- alternate suggestion, soul?Gnash

I got left this watch from my Grandad who passed away a few years ago now.
Recently got round to getting a few links taken out the strap to fit me.
A few local jewellers were going to charge £20 to do this but ended up refusing as it was a "prestige" watch.
Ended up taking it to a high end watch shop in town that sells watches that are the same price as some homes!
The guy behind the desk when I handed him the watch was like
"WOW!"
"That's the second one of these watches I've ever seen - nice watch!"(Damn nice compliments to get from someone working with such high end watches every day)
So he takes the watch away for 5 minutes and returns with it and lets me try it on to check the size.
Size is perfect.I ask him how much it cost to have the links taken out. He refuses to take any money for it and says it was a pleasure to have seen and worked on the watch.
For the watch geeks, after a bit of detective work online I found out that it's a Omega Chronostop Geneve - 920 Movement - Circa 1970.
Haven't worn a watch for years and years but quite enjoying wearing this - for both it's sentimental value and also because it feels good. With it's blue face it's really eye catching but the watch itself is quite subtle.

- Nay, proportions look off to me (face should be much larger, bezel smaller). Reminds me of the cheap Tags.
Bottom ones are much, much nicer.formed - Was looking for a beater but got a couple of nays already. Might get this parnis, what do you think? http://www.ebay.com/…pinkfloyd
- 40mm works best on me unless it's a black 42mm. I'm not sure how the 42mm steel would fit my wrist.pinkfloyd
- Well, looks like my offer was accepted so I got it.pinkfloyd
- For $75pinkfloyd
- can't go wrong for $75, even thought those are kinda knockoff designs, they picked some great ones to copy (IWC, I believe those are, but $6425 cheaper!)formed
- total knockoffs of IWC but looking at the photos through google, they are pretty well made. they are also using quality steel (ebay seller parnistime)pinkfloyd
- there's other parnis sellers who sells crap, but I think parnistime uses better partspinkfloyd

love dar rounded glasss and bauhaus faces
- i like the face-the beveled/rounded glass is too pronounced for me. It would look nicer with a hard edge imo.lvl_13

These are rather lovely, from a new London watchmaker. Nice story on them in the new Eye mag. Custom font from Commercial Type. Golf clap.
- Remember hearing about these a while back. Wouldn't mind getting my hands on one.duckseason
- Me too. Nice fox as well.MrT
- Posted these a while back - quite nice looks, but they have $12 off the shelf mechanisms which feels a bit shit.detritus
- fox looks lamehans_glib
- niceinteliboy
- Commercial Type did the lettering. Price is well off though: no heritage/cheapish movement.LukeO
- I didn't realise the movement was pants. Where was that info, I was temped to get one...?MrT

apple watch is nice but way to many features.
they should have a version that only focuses on time and date and have many faces and you can add your own faces. id buy it then- Either way, you look like a titMrT
