I know a few of you have ordered watches from here. I am about to order one but the guy is a bit slow to reply to emails, so anyway I want the strap which is in this picture.



Anyone know what colour I am supposed to select to get this?
Thanks

Just give him the link to the picture and he'll do it.

He's slow because he cares, but you really need to be patient.

Agree with the above, it's worth the wait, the quality you get for the money is excellent.

That looks like one of his chocolate brown straps.
If i were you i'd go for the seal brown, its similar to this but with a slightly reddish tone and in my opinion his nicest strap. If i were you i'd also spec silver hands which go nicely with the polished case and superlume.

Booo, the chocolate brown and Seal Brown are both 26mm which don't fit the 44mm face, anyway I've emailed him to see what he can do!

I guarantee you he'll have them in stock, his website isn't up to date. If you spec them on your order you'll be fine. He is not so hot on emails but hang in there, he gets the job done eventually...expect up to 2 months delivery time.

Ignore what he says on the website, just tell him what you want.

He knocks up each strap as he goes along.

Go with a sterile dial though.

No writing on, just blank. Looks so much better.

Good job you got your order in when you did, Getat just got a plug in Esquire :

Got mine last week after 2 months and one cancelled order done due to late shipment by the cc now payment people after I asked how long it would take.

Nice watch with a few annoying problems. Such as strap has small circular holes to secure the strap but the metal pin which goes through the strap is large and rectangular. Strap is slightly to wide for the clasp, it does fit just but you can see it has scraped away some leather on the edge of the strap. Last issue is that I ordered a sterile dial but it has writing on.

Due to this not sure I'd get another, but I am pleased with the one I have.
