As the title says. Its a handmade black leather strap from RIOS. I was first going to order a canvas strap from GasGasBones but i changed my mind. 10 days for delivery, so im hoping to get it before Christmas. Pictures will follow once its arrived and the watch sits on it. I really hope it will look as good as im hoping for. |

Your watch will sit higher on your wrist and will feel heftier. But be careful of those door jambs and eager elevator doors. |

Looks good, Patrik. Maybe you can take another shot where we can see more of the bund pad. |

The leather is surprisingly soft. Not as stiff as i first thought it might be for a new strap. Attachment: Bund_0002 (2).jpg (Downloaded 51 times) |

I never owned a Bundstrap before so i cant compare it to a previous one. However it sits very nice on my 6inch wrist. Attachment: Bund_0003 (2).jpg (Downloaded 50 times) |

I could not stand to see him wearing that Citizen Proximity Eco-Drive. Don't know if its a arrogant behavior from my side, but i really like to see him wear a nicer watch. Specially now when he is attending several job interviews. |
