    ««««««««« WRUW - Wednesday - 16 March 2016 »»»»»»»»»

    Good morning, IWL.

    Same watch, different pic. The new strap needs to be worn.

    I must say I'm quite happy with the finish and general quality of the ColaReb. It's way better than similar priced Fluco or Graf, to give just two examples.

    But I still prefer Iyonk's straps.

    Have a great day.

    LOL! thank you C, you're just to kind..

    i like the combo look, but there's a part of me (Sorry C..) that's not to sure with second row stitches... dont get me wrong-- i understand the point of have something different right and it does look great on the Omega!

    wearing my quartz chrono VSA today.. i'm refurbishing the strap, so i just put a temporary 20mm one piece leather on the 21mm lug.. not sure about the look, but on the wrist it feels great..

    You're right: the second row stitches was - let's just say - an experiment. Will I repeat it? No, I'm afraid not.

    I love that strap, the texture look great and the color is simply perfect.. with traditional minimal/simple stitches without the additional second row, i imagine the look would be much nicely cleaner.. (its all in my head, and it is just... well personal imagenation =)


    such a lovely Omega.. and the VSA i wear today got the 'homage' lugs overall vibe..

    Vintage rotation continues as I decide a few things to put up for sale. This one is not for sale - Royal Orient from their first year, 1958



    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    Taking Wednesday off . In less than ten minutes it will be today. It will be the thirtieth anniversary of the first date my wife and I went on. We went to an exhibition of Picasso drawings. We celebrate this day more faithfully then we do our wedding anniversary. I am still wearing the RGM on Iyonk and will continue that through most of Wednesday. There will likely be a change for a night out on the town. Genuine new photos:

    Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Krinkle! I hope you have another thirty years together, and more.


    Nice watch, too.
