Nice Strap Eric!

[esm]

so, got the Carbon Fibre effect strap off eBay UK to go with the Toshi PVD Thumbnail buckle

this is what it looked like after swapping the buckles over



this combo is for the Blancpain FF Chrono Flyback - wanted to see what'd it look like... also, the OEM straps are too short for my liking.

the 0.9mm allen keys are needed to unscrew from both ends... a major PITA is you ask me. Blancpain sells the strap changing kit for an amazing value of £900... which includes a case holder, 2 x allen keys and a rubber strap .... a quick search at Amazon UK got me these two allen keys

anyway, here are the end results.... i think i will end up "fine tuning" the straps, because they are 24mm and the lug-to-lug on the Blancpain is 23mm ... here are some Q&D pix for now.

i quite like the combo and the length of this strap, it def. feels "more secure", probably due the the width, thickness (4mm) and length of the strap. i thought the red stitching goes quite well with he red bits on the dial.

i think i will go with this combo until the Sailcloth straps arrives

hope you liked the pix
