Thread: Far er away

  1. #1

    Far er away

    When first seeing some of the companies watches a few years ago , smitten. Prices far too high , for me ,but , very nice , perhaps too nice. Not much info around , not many posts either. Kept looking at their site from time to time though.

    Something found to my cost far too many times , late night ebay. Try to shut down early nowadays , yet some still get through
    Although this was not off ebay the thought is still there.... ordered just before the witching hour. Shall have to blame these weird times when , if not now when , no idea what's going to happen so get on with it. Good excuse anyway.

    Sent the following day , recieved midday the next.

    most pics. show a different colour or shade

    The site says 8.3mm thick. Guessing on a flat surface. The quick release spring bar tangs are lowest. Lowered lugs too. The watch is about 1/4" thick so shall waer snug.
    37mm case 44mm lugs. There is a cutout under the lugs for the strap to fit snug against the case so no gaps , well thought out, pity some others don't do that.

    Tried againt wods of straps , not much for the supplied , odd how they've a stiched in surround , odd.
    Milanese 0.5mm looks pretty good , 0.8mm mesh doesn't imo.
    Thought at first , being a sea coloured dial , a blue or green shark strap would work , neah. Most brown off too. Dark tan's , not bad even some dark reds ok too. Needs texture imo. New strap on order.
    Hope to get some sun over the next few days to bring the sunray to life

    Cheers, Dave
