Hi Eric, Im wondering if you still have the original Alessi AL5017 stainless steel band. I got one thru ebay, but the band was to small, and I need to get an extra one for extensions.
Thanks

hi there,
i'm sure i do, but have no idea where i put it. it must be one of the boxes in the storage

esm · 4 June 2010, 12:23 AM

while it's uploading, this is the watch i will be using as a test.

my brother in law got this for me when he was visiting NYC last year. kinda cool with the red bits and Rolex like bubble over the date. only have worn it a couple of times, cos the bloody bracelet is cr@p....

it is a quartz btw

esm · 4 June 2010, 01:41 AM

yeah i like it. Even the wife when she came home early from work.

What blue shirt? That was a blue jacket....... No need for that atm.

I think this colour combo is perfect for bright summer day.

I like it and i love the green in it. ;-)

esm · 5 June 2010, 10:31 AM

so... the 2nd 22mm NATO strap (light grey) arrived today... my original plan didnt not work. the screws on the Porsche Design Chrono lugs was very tight and i didnt have the right size screw driver to force them to un-screw....

so the backup plan is to have the light grey 22mm strap fitted to the Alessi.

i think the brushed case goes well with the light grey coloured NATO strap

here is a wrist shot

very pleased with the comfort of the straps..... i think im hooked. def. a goer for hot summer days

now the 20mm NATO straps shopping begins..... not sure if im game enough to wear a bright orange on my Rolex like Randy though...

maybe on the Orange Planet Ocean

sleddog · 5 June 2010, 10:36 AM

Very nice Eric......I think both straps go real well on the Alessi!!

dalip · 5 June 2010, 10:57 AM

Yup...really like the light grey on the Alessi eric

Also with the NATO you may also like to adjust it so that the end of the strap (tucked in part) ends up on the far side of your wrist rather than underneath? Gives it more of a NATO look I think and means greater comfort when resting your wrist on a surface....you can make this adjustment when threading it through

Great choices mate, and looking forward to the 20mms!!

thanks mate, will give these options a go when i get a chance. man, didnt think it is an art wearing NATO straps

looks like i will be shopping for a few 20mm straps to share between Rolex and Omega watches.... im even tempted to get a 24mm leather for the PAM

you got me thinking about the PVD as well.... may throw that combo into the mix

ParisDakarBmw · 5 June 2010, 10:59 AM

Great strap colors for the watch!

dalip · 5 June 2010, 11:02 AM

Oh....and thanks for the blue jacket eric

Actually a nice top

In my pics I had the strap Nd buckle underneath on the bond/gmt pics and on the far side for the black pvd/gmt/dssd pics.....no idea as am new to all this....but that works better for me

esm · 7 June 2010, 05:17 AM

my mate Dan... Sorry to have disappointed you BUT... The NATO strap is bloody comfy, especially on a hot summer day!

Thought I'd get a couple for my "other" watches to see if I like them... Man I'm a convert.

Spent most of the day watching tennis final and deciding on which 20mm ones I want for my rolex and omega watches.

Bloody addictive these things are....

Dan Pierce · 7 June 2010, 05:45 AM

Comfortable and addictive are a deadly combo.

dP

esm · 7 June 2010, 05:51 AM

so true Dan. Browse through the whole 16 pages of the the Nylon Nation thread today... Many many awesome combos. I'm excited and can't wait to get some more!

esm · 7 June 2010, 06:03 AM

Guess Dan will be knighted by you soon ;-)

Thanks for asking, Eric. While the right eye still tends to see things in slightly wave-like perception, at least there's been no further degeneration of the retina.

I was injected in the eye just once - way back in early Jan.; but it looks like that one shot did the trick!!

esm · 7 June 2010, 06:22 AM

good stuff me thinks

thats an awesome news.

Its never a good thing when there is something not quite right.
