I was just thinking I need to buy more straps - but this is another level π HAGWE
How many wrists do you have π Thatβs a lot of straps, man!!! HAGWE
Well, this one is top, too. 6152-1 by DB Watches.
that's some serious "whach-strap-itis" you caught. I've never bought any other watch brand that depended so badly on the...straps. LOL Some of mine: I also have another box for the original Pre-V ones and not to forget the 27 on my...Panerais LOLLLL
... the days when my post was deleted because I was showing the brand of the strap maker and that was seen as advertising. Happy to see that those days seem to be over. Regards, Hans
dear Hans. One thing is realizing you still own a lot of ASSORTED straps and mentioning the names, another is publishing several pictures ONLY to advertise YOUR produtcs. I still remember your "Italian Tour" pictures on which you changed straps (mentioning EACH model). I have personally mentioned your Corrigia straps a lot of times and suggested, in many an occasion, to buy them because I SINCERELY like them. I've never seen an OEM strap in your posts or a Simona or Bosphorus or a Sengiastrap..G
