I have a Cali Dial Russian Pilot watch which I really like but it came with a rubber strap which seemed to ruin its old style character. I found myself taking it off after 20 minutes of wearing it because of this so I invested in a new strap and I must be honest it feels like a completely new watch!! I love it. Here take a look.

I agree with you on the rubber thing. Those double stitching straps are just perfect on your Russian and the last picture is great: Too bad we see your bed behind...

Just my humble opinion, Neo - but I reckon that now looks PERFECT!

Well done, mate!

I don't like "rubbers" either. No rudeness intended... subtlelaugh.gif
