Bit by the Black Friday Bug

Post by jkbarnes »

I just picked up two straps for my white C63 using WatchGecko’s 20% off deal. I think these will look really good! The leather strap is suede. Pics to come, once they arrive.

Andrew I have three of the “two piece NATOs” as shown in your second pic.

It’s the one in my Dartmouth CW of the day pic today. I much prefer it to a CW tide strap.

I bought mine, together with the Lunar strap shown on my Speedy in the non CW of the day thread, in the WG “buy at least three NATO’s and get 50% off”.

An excellent offer, particularly as none of the straps I bought are technically NATO’s! :lol: :)

Is the WG 20% just on straps?

Mind you, they did 50% off on three or more NATOs last week. I bought several. :wink: :wink:

That’s a great match with the Dartmouth. I gave that specific strap some consideration. I like the blend of the blue and the black.

The straps arrived and look even better than I hoped. The suede strap has a taper to it that I quite like.

I particularly like that 2-piece nato! I might have to take a closer look at those…

I really like it. It’s quite comfortable and robust. I wish they offered a wider selection.

I checked WG a few days ago, and was surprised to note that they no longer have any of their bargain basement straps on sale.
