Hi 3T. I had some stuff arrive recently and just wanted to share what these stuff are.

First off, a dark blue Isofrane rubber strap in 22mm which I bought for my Darth Tuna. This one came with a stainless steel retrosicuro buckle, which will clash with the total black/stealth look of the Marine Master. Here it is:






Our friends at Isofrane were kind and gracious enough to throw in a few COMPLIMENTARY extra black and orange keepers in 22mm. I requested for these as back-ups for my previous black and orange Isofranes. I am dead sure these straps will last me at least 10 years but wasn't so sure about the keepers thus thinking forward, I requested for the back-ups.


This is a close-up of the stainless steel retro sicuro buckle.


I also bought an extra PVD retro sicuro buckle in 22mm for the dark blue strap. This strap, sadly, doesn't come with a PVD buckle thus my special order for this buckle.



But I'm also looking at cutting some of the lug end part and fit this beautiful and high quality strap into my blue Sumo. Here is what the combo might look like:




Check out the contrast IF I snap it on to my black Sumo. I'm unsure of this and might not fit the dark blue strap to the black Sumo....but I just wanted to show it.



And then, to cure my OC syndrome, I also bought myself some mesh bracelets of various sizes in 22 and 24. These will find their ways into my watches, chiefly my Seikos, Enzos and Dievases.




The seller who is based in Canada and from whom I've bought over a kilo of these mesh bracelets from (thanks to William/Hammerfjord's enabling), threw in those Zulus for free.

And since my OC still hasn't been cured, I got myself a beautiful and unique snake pattern leather strap from SteveO. This is in lustrous brown with some golden dyes in between the cracks. This one might go to one of my Darth Tunas since it's only 22mm or into my Steinhart NavB Vintage...I still don't know which one.



See what I mean about the golden dyes in between the cracks? I am very pleased with SteveO's output.




Check out the detail and overall effects on this close-up.


You guys still there? Ok. Did I mention I also landed lots of titanium buckles? These are in 22mm, 24mm and 26mm and in PreV and even in GPF-PreMod. All these buckles will rotate for my Laco Big Fliegers, Steinhart NavB and potentially even for my incoming big one which has a soild, monobloc titanium case. Here they are:




I think I've said a mouthful already. Thanks for looking.

Very nice cache of assessories Jeff. I need to get one of those mesh for my Sharkmaster as I have no confidence in the Omega style supplied.
Enjoy!

Awesome haul of great straps, buckles, and accessories Jeff!!! thumbsup.gif 

I've got to try an Isofrane sometime soon, and your buckle supplier is my go-to-place for ordering buckles, tubes, springbars etc...lots of choices, great pricing, and lightning fast shipping!

Enjoy these goodies!!!

Thanks Tony, Chris, Josh and William.

Josh, it takes just one exotic....after that you're hooked. Sometimes plain calf can be very drab and boring but exotics can be loaded with more personality as the hide ages. Noe, however, that the leather strap is really calf with snake pattern only.
