Love the pic, the watch and the strap. Is it the original one or did you buy it somewhere else. In that case, where ?
Thanks Nicolas. The strap is aftermarket. It is a RIOS1931 "Just". It is a woven nylon strap with a leather backing, which makes a great alternative to a Maratac - in fact, it is a better strap. There are alternative models available - "Bass" - same strap but with white stitching, or "Advance", which is black/black but with a rubber lining.
I got my strap from eBay -
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 1334785177 . It came from Lithuania, service was excellent and the strap cost about £15 + postage. Bargain.

Nice, I've seen a couple of brands lately which I feel have given a nod to 70's case design with a modern twist. Works great

It's quite hard to find a leather NATO with bronze hardware, but I finally managed it, so here it is on my Halios Tropik B today...

Started the day out with the Aqua Terra
Now changed it for the Explorer and I'm off to see if I can learn to land my RC plane..... Fly yes, land no!
Enjoy the sunshine

Don't do it Richard; Bremont is more exclusive surely.
