PS> Ferg; will you please remind me where you got your black / yellow stitch strap from, it could look good on my Makaira.

I was going to take the Mako off before I started washing the car
Sadly with the bad weather it didn't get done in the end.

Got it; thanks.
Sectime are one of the websites I look at from time to time; I'll have a browse around.
One small issue with it is the polished buckle; I'm a bit fussy and want to get a titanium or at least brushed steel buckle to get a close match to the case on my C11.
Better luck tomorrow / weekend to wash the car.

Hi Guy. Just brush the buckle with a scotch pad or green dish scourer. Works like a charm if you use straight, even strokes

I think that's the first blue one I've seen. It's very nice. Enjoy it.
