Looks very much like a Bradley Sailcloth, but I'm guessing it isn't. Looks pretty natty though
Mind you, I think you could stick a plastic bag handle on this and it would still look good

Cheers. It's a RIOS1931 BASS. I got it from ebay - about £20... I like RIOS straps.

Re: Non CW of the Day
i think it looks ok, but i think it looks better on other straps.
the "g" is for Greg...
Re: Non CW of the Day
I feel that the black-grey strap makes the dial look washed out. Definitely prefer this on a dark brown or better yet, a distressed or suede-y brown strap like the one that comes with the rose-gold bezel version.gwells wrote:i think it looks ok, but i think it looks better on other straps.

I think the 'washed out' look may be the fault of the photographer, rather than the strap.asqwerth wrote:I feel that the black-grey strap makes the dial look washed out.

I tried it on the nubuck (suede-y brown) in the past...
Anyhow, for today, I'll give the RIOS another go.

I love these, and it's a toss up whether this or a vintage Omega Deville Chronograph joins my collection.It'sAliveJim wrote:A bit of German elegance today, in total contrast to my lack of sartorial effort with scruffy shorts, T-shirt and trainers combo

White face and I'd have bitten your arm off, but still pondering ...
