Hi Graham,

Which 22mm leather strap are you using ? I can't seem to find a straight 22mm buckle end starp, short of using a panerai strap ! Thanks.

Which strap for MIH?

 
 By: expwmbat : June 3rd, 2009-13:22
Greetings Purists, I've been playing with strap changes on the MIH watch since I received it last November. For me, the OEM rubber strap left something to be desired, as it seemed too thin for the thickness of the case. Thus I've tried several different c...  

you know me, i like them all except the green one

i think the tan rugged jobby is good for daily wear as well as the black chronissimo when you fancy a change. the tan croc looks good for more important occasions. keep them all, thats what i think. best Graham

It's not easy being green...

Naturally you don't like the one I'm currently wearing. Can I ask what you don't like about it? I'm torn...sure wish the clasp was Ti... Best, Daniel

i cant really explain Dan,...

i cant really explain Dan, its not that i dont like it, i just prefer the others. as Daos has said, the rugged Tan wins hands down. i would always want to use the original or buy another Ti buckle. i'm just picky like that. you can buy them so i might try...

Jerome, its an unbranded german strap from fleabay. its a nice thick high quality piece for low quality money which is how i like it. the seller, believe it or not, lives about 25 miles from me after i found him on a world wide site ! i'll try and dig out... 

I'll take bachelor number two please! :-)

Daniel, I like the rugged tan strap best (the option following the green leather). The shade of both the hide and contrasting stitching warm up the case a bit, and serve to echo the orange elements on the dial. Looks great! My second choice after that wou... 

Definite preference for the honey alligator...

and the black with white stitching doesn't fit at all IMHO. More the style than the colors, somehow a no go with the Bauhaus style. It looks like you are having a good time with that watch. Keep it up! Don

Don, is it just the...

Don, is it just the style of Dan's black strap you dont like as i think my black with white stitching suits the styling very well. mine is however a smooth black leather and Dan's is textured. Graham...  

You're right Graham...

The style is to "baroque" for my taste and I don't think it fits well with the clean and cool lines of the MIH. Your black with white stitching is much better, 'though I do like the color contrast of a non-black band. Don

next time i wear it...

 
 By: G99 : June 4th, 2009-14:04
next time i wear it i'll put a tan croc on it just to see what it looks like. Ginger is staying at mine next week on part of her Welsh tour so i might well have all the watches out. if thats the case i'll do it then. next friday before they leave to conti... 

Hmmm

I'm not sure any look just right... what about a cool kevlar, like on the IWC doppel or GO Nav?

thats a really great look...

 
 By: G99 : June 5th, 2009-09:50
thats a really great look hary. i love the stitching and the way it highlights the am/pm indicators and second pointer. a watch with so many looks Graham

thumbs up

glad you finally chose that combi mate...looks good.

Di-Modell would be my choice . . .

. . . as it most closely blends in with the aesthetics of the watch without highlighting the touches of color on the dial . . . cordially, Art

Beautiful combinations!

I actually like all the combinations you show! If i had to make a choice, the first strap would be my favorite, but the Sinn deployant seems a bit to big though. Very nice... you infected me with the MIH virus... wished this dissease could get subsidised,...
