Nice one! I got one of these straps on my titchy little 35mm Seiko Goldfeather. Just a single layer of leather with no stitching makes it really slim and it's rare to find any strap in 16mm wide.

You'll have to check the size for yourself though.
Thanks, this has 20mm lugs I think, agreed it needs to be a slim, ideally say max 2mm strap to work. https://www.thestrapshop.co.uk/products/classic-ca...

I quite fancy a deep red one..

First traffic jam I've been stuck in for 3 months...
Ignition off and handbrake on, and has been so for maybe 20min.
You're not supposed to draw attention to the car. You take a photo of your watch, and then later, when we point put the car, you say "Oh, was I in the 323i? Must of (sic) been rushing between conferences."Ignition off and handbrake on, and has been so for maybe 20min.
I have not go it yet but too excited to not post about it lol. My Instagram feed today showed me a vintage Casio from the mid 90s:
This is the DB-81-ST Cognit Schema, these are very rare and were only issued for the Archaeological Institute of America. There are a number of special issue watches to various institutes by Casio and each one has electroluminescent backlights which show the relevant shape/symbil in the middle of the display when you turn the backlight on which is pretty cool.
I found this on eBay selling for £99 by a UK collector downsizing his collection. sold as New but old stock and never worn. I'll be wearing it every so often however but being careful with it as they do seem to be increasing in value as time goes on due to their rarity. Very little in the way of pics or info about them online too, certainly seems to be if you come across it you know about it.

I did look at this and all was going well at 40mm case size which is fine for me until I saw the lug to lug length of 48mm!! That's a little too long for me so I think I'll remain on the Classic 36 which has a 44mm L2L, shame it doesn't come in bronze though but hey ho it is what it is! I'd be putting it on a Barton Bands silicone strap too as I am not a fan of leather straps and luckily the Elite Silicone comes in the perfect dual toned colour combos to suit!

Go for it, a great brand, great watches and with exceptional customer service.
This will be arriving soon to go alongside my Flieger and Antea 1919.
I've heard great things about their CS and of course the brand itself. Probably one of the few more established brands I can fully get behind.This will be arriving soon to go alongside my Flieger and Antea 1919.

Must admit the leather strap on mine is starting to look a little worn now and you're right there are two Elite Sillicones that would work very well. 
Still waiting on one for my Marloe to arrive. By the way Stowa have some offers on at the moment for ex-demo watches.

Does it make time go backwards? Quite useful for an archaeologist, I suppose. Although if they went back far enough, they'd just be a ditch digger.This is the DB-81-ST Cognit Schema, these are very rare and were only issued for the Archaeological Institute of America.

Lovely. How do you find your Doxa? I have one on my ‘to get’ list.
Thanks. To be honest, I've had it on my list for a while too, and when I returned the Railmaster I repurposed that cash into this.It manages to be modern and vintage at the same time. The bracelet is awesome, with really decent build quality. The finishing all round is good, about right for the money.
Comfort is very high. Fit is far better than the Seiko turtles I've had, including the SLA033, new SRPs and a 6309 7040.
Only headache is deciding which colour to go for, but the searambler fits nicely with the other stuff I have and brings a bit more of a vintage feel. Love it so far.
