Re: Combat Straps - strap has now arrived
Thank you and good spot! It's described on the site as Marble Turquoise and to be fair it does show a lot lighter in the bright Quebec sunshine, but I'd definitely call it green.blowfish89 wrote:Looks superb. Green shell cordovan?
The style wasn't what I intended to order as I said earlier in the thread. I couldn't be happier that I took Aaron's advice, though, and despite the poor exchange rate it's worth every penny.
I am not a collector of watches. I used to be able to say that and know I was telling the truth.

Love the look of that! Might have to source one meself for my blue Racetimerchristam wrote:The strap arrived this afternoon. Aaron charges $10 for postage, so I wasn't expecting it to be sent via tracked UPS
It's absolutely perfect in fit and finish. The colour is a little darker than I expected but it goes very well with the watch so that's all that matters. It shows a lot lighter in bright sunshine - something there's a bit of a lack of here at the moment.
Anyway, here are a few pics taken in less than ideal lighting:
It's very comfortable on the wrist and smells like proper leather should so I'm very pleased.
And I have a nasty feeling there might be another one incoming shortly .....

^^^^^^ 3 weeks from initial order to delivery from Canada to the UK. Very impressive IMO.

Re: Combat Straps - strap has now arrived
it looks really fine christam, and i was thinking at first that this watch would definitely look better on a bracelet. great choice
watching you fail in your quest for a “one watch” has been great entertainment

Re: Combat Straps - strap has now arrived
Thank you missF. Yes, the watch does look good on the bracelet but I bought it with the intention of only wearing it on a strap, partly because the Marvelight stays on its bracelet permanently. (And that's mainly because I can't find a leather that would look really good on it.)
I was so pleased when I discovered Aaron (Combat Straps) had added this leather to his collection. Now I can stop envying your Gunny Amazon

Re: Combat Straps - strap has now arrived
Those look excellent, wish they were in the UK not the US. Might still be worth the customs risk if i had a couple of watches that need new straps
