 Hey guys - "SSS" is fine by me. The point is that we will likely see the same good guys and good product rise to the top - and that is OK. At least it saves us spending money on product or people who don't support 3T, or who claim the world and deliver nothing? It might also provide a resource for "strap friends of 3T" who can maybe do nice things for 3T as a reward for continued custom? Just a thought.

To give you an idea of how I see it being used:

*** Bob Vertigo Buffalo brown 24/24. Too stiff, described as a lot softer than it was when it arrived to me, not going to be a favourite. Maybe the Bob Marino strap in non-suede finish would have been better? Well built for the money, but not lust-worthy IMHO. Does the job.

***** (yep - 5!!) Savage strap brown 24/24. 6mm thick buttery rubber with a polished 24mm pre-v buckle that makes me want another one now. Does everything right and looks great on anything. Packaged well, exceptional build quality of leather and buckle, priced right and the seller communicated very well. Can't do better IMHO.

**       aftermarket Panerai-alike brushed/polished 24mm SS bracelet.  I should have known :(  Links too big to size comfortably (either too loose or too tight on the wrist), slow postage, screws stuck in the links and look like they will self destruct in 5 seconds. Fit to the head is poor. Hey - it lets me protect the real one, I guess. Otherwise it would have been a * !! 

I leave the rest in your very capable hands, gents!

Cheers! Ian
