here are some quick and dirty, late night, dodgy iPhone4 pix. will try to get some outdoor/daylight pix soon

the strap has finally arrived today. i have chosen Slate leather (softer feel) & white and royal blue stitching to pick up the colours on the dial.

the Ti buckle matches the Ti case/bezel well imo.

i am very happy with this combo - much better than the OEM rubber strap, which i can & will never be able to get used to

here are some wrist pix

Wow thats looks nice buddy!! But i would rather do a double stitching of both white and blue instead of one white and one blue like that, but hey, each to his own right? Congrats on the new strap buddy!

Thanks.
I have done double stitching on one side for one of Toshi's thicker leathers.

His Slater leather is a softer and thinner leather, so double stitching will not work as there maybe a "bulge" between each line of stitchings...

Ah okay - didn't know there was a specific reason for that. Regardless, the two coloured stitching is a great idea! :)

Great Combo Eric. Great choice going with the JLC. Those JLCs are some really great watches.

I'm beginning to really like these Compressors...

I think that that JLC looks great on anything, and that strap is good way to go!

Man, what a great watch!
