Bob Demers just let me know about this forum. It's great to see it up and running.
I'm hunting for straps at the moment and so if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. I've just tried a slimmer Rios Dk Brown 'gator strap that I like on the watch a lot but it is a bit worn out. Here's a pic.

Welcome! Is that a black strap? It looks great! Be sure to post in the "show your watch" forum, people have been itching to see different colored straps.
I am so glad you liked the watch! I was so chuffed with the watch myself that I couldn't wait to get some pictures and details up about it in the review.
I bought this alligator strap about two years ago for another watch and wore it for about a year. During that time it had a hard life because our baby boy threw up on it a few times - as they do! I tried shoe polish to improve it but I think it made it duller not shinier and so I didn't wear it for about a year. Maybe it has dried out or something but now the surface looks pretty good again. It was originally dark brown but is now a little darker than before but not quite black.
I got it from a guy in Sydney who was importing them cheaply but has since stopped. Most comparable straps seem to be around $140-150. Too much for me I think.
It was actually David's article that first introduced me to the Malvern. I was doing a search on the 2824-2 movement and followed a link to the TZ review. From there I searched for CW and found this forum. The rest is history.
Weird isn't? everyone caught a bit of a serve for simply pointing out that this watch is a bargain and a joy! Oh well. I suspect that it's well on the record that a lot of people bought it and like it. Hopefully others won't be too put off by the sideshow.

I had a post deleted 'there' and was referred to some site rules. My post did violate the rules (although plenty of other posts do too in the same way, but are left in tact) in that I posted a link to somewhere else asking about a watch. I had never heard it was bad to post a link to another site. In all my learned knowledge on education and research, providing links to the information's source is appreciated, not subject to deletion.
I think my post was deleted because I was deemed a shill...for asking a question if a watch was any good or not.
