That's crazily good Rich, especially in the second photo. Top notch.biggus_richus wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 8:18 pmFollowed your lead and put mine on my Ombré. The textured strap really brings something to the patina!

Now that works very well indeed... These straps do have an "old" feel to them which works nicelybiggus_richus wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 8:18 pmFollowed your lead and put mine on my Ombré. The textured strap really brings something to the patina!
That's the same as I received and appears to be as it was advertised with black rather than contrasting stitching. I think the vintage in this case refers to the leather texture whereas the strap you link to is smoother.shaggy wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 8:32 am I have recieved the Vintage Oak Leather Strap... but it seems to be the Oak w/o Vintage. This one but in 22mm -> https://www.christopherward.com/straps/ ... DC-ST.html
This was how it was advertised in the sale last week (screenshot). I do like them, they seem slightly "aged" and suit my C65 Black Gold, but of course it depends on the watch and individual tastes
They do seem to be old stock and definitely a dull "aged" finish... works well on my two watches I think, although I am now re-considering a camel strap for the C65 316L LE...JAFO wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 12:37 pm I thought it might be a little shinier I think. It must be old stock or an old design, as it only says 22 on the back, with no markings other than the embossed twin flags My camel vintage oak appears to have a slightly more glossy finish, and does say "Italian Vintage Oak Leather" on the back. The sides of both straps are finished in a similar way. Maybe it's not quite as thickly padded. Perhaps I could dress it with some shoeshine!
The pictures posted by @shaggy just above are exactly what I received.
Same as both of mineBahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 1:21 pm Amend the above!
I bought two of these straps and the other one has '22' with the twin flag motif on both sections.
The top sides look identical.

1,000ft yes, as that is, near enough, 300m / 30ATM.

"Finally, its undersea credentials. The watch is waterproof to an extraordinary 1,000m and has a helium release valve to alleviate pressure one kilometre down. Who knew a work of art could be so durable?"
