Got this one in a trade and I thought it would be flipped right away ... strapped in on the OEM Black and it didnt quite sing for me so it sat for a few days in the box waiting for the deal to be completed. Well..

The matte ceramic case and the sharp yet clean sandwich dial slowed caught my attention .. This Thing Needed the Right Strap !!!

and boy .. changing straps on the RAD is one Royal Pain in The ....

This piece of Turkish Leather did the trick for me .. strapped it yesterday and it hasnt left my wrist since. A rather discreet piece which comes alive time and again ..

Surely the best bang for the buck ceramic case in the sub-10K category.

Cheers

Well of course it looks great when you take pics like that Nishant!

Hairdude1 · 24 September 2013, 03:00 PM

Awesome pics!

TswaneNguni · 24 September 2013, 05:41 PM

I have a J and its still on the oem black strap.I think it looks awesome on the brown

PanosI · 24 September 2013, 06:25 PM

Expect the unexpected !!! Big congrats and killer pics as usual

travisb · 24 September 2013, 07:31 PM

Well done, Nishant!!

The right strap can make all the difference.

1st amg · 24 September 2013, 09:17 PM

Love it! The 292 is one I have been eye balling for a while, with that strap you made the decision quite easy. Keep that watch!

Cru Jones · 25 September 2013, 01:04 AM

the 292! great pix.

some day, some day....

Preacher · 25 September 2013, 01:07 AM

My favourite!

RGP · 25 September 2013, 01:46 AM

What brand of strap is that? Looks great.

Travelller · 25 September 2013, 03:29 AM

Congrats - I like the 292

as much as everyone applauds PVD & fears ceramic, PVD's a very tricky finish while ceramic should last indefinitely*.

*Here's a tip to all... don't go freaking dropping your $$$$ watches

Great photographs too

It's a Zeugma strap ..

It's amazing how the straps can make a huge difference. Awesome combo, Nishant.....and of course, awesome photography as usual.

(agreed changing RAD straps are PITA!!)
