Monster day for me too,

Those 2 straps (Guy & Chris) really suit the orange Monster. Could I ask where you both got them from please.

I got mine from Timefactors; its the 'Bond' with a twist;- http://timefactors.com/natostraps.htm - excellent, top notch quality.

I also have the same strap as Chris, albeit in 22mm, bought from Crown & Buckle in the USA; bit of a faff with postage, customs VAT etc. - but excellent quality too. It is though also available from Watch Geko as the Tudor Heritage;- http://www.watchgecko.com/catalog/produ ... cts_id/194 I've several others from them and their quality is a bit hit & miss and they must obtain their straps from differing suppliers.

Thanks Guy

I bought mine from watchgecko, it's the one in the link that guy has posted.

Chris.

Cheers Chris. Is there any noticeable difference with the glued strap than say those that are sonic welded?

Guy,

I was always under the impression that you could purchase items from the states, up to a certain price, without incurring any import duty / taxes etc. You've got me worried now because I've ordered a strap from the states via ebay.

Regards,

Chris.

As far as I understand it Chris, under £15 (used to be £18) and you don't fall into the import duty bracket, but I think you're still liable for VAT, plus any 'admin' fee charged by the UK courier who pre-pays that VAT on your behalf. Quite ready to be corrected mind you, but that was my understanding.

Thank you for the explanation.

The strap was $21.00 USD which at the time of purchase equated to £13.97

Still wearing the Batory it is gaining 8 seconds a day, not bad for a SeaGull movement, better than some of my Swiss watches. Sorry old pic.

Lazy Sinnday afternoon...

That pun works better for a Sunday! (still awful though...)
