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.

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

Thank you for the tip. I actually did not think of that. The strap is 3-3,5mm thick.

The leather is surprisingly soft. Not as stiff as i first thought it might be for a new strap.

I never owned a Bundstrap before so i cant compare it to a previous one. However it sits very nice on my 6inch wrist.

Thank you buddy! ThumbsUp02.gif

However, the Fortis left my collection yesterday. Gave the watch to my younger brother. 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.
