Thanks, Trent. I, too, like the way the stitching of your strap curves away from the lug horns of your Kobold and in this way protects the stitches from getting banged up through friction/contact with the lug horns. ThumbsUp02.gif Gives me an idea.........

Is this 7mm thick leather, Graham? Looks really mean to me.ThumbsUp02.gif

Here in many parts of Asia, the OM and BM are getting harder and harder to find. Used to be so abundant up to late 2009 and then, they're flying off the shelves. I think lots of WIS are truly appreciating this line much more.

Warm welcome to 3T, Philip.ThumbsUp02.gif First time I see that brand. Is that steel with white gold bezel? Is that bezel 36mm in diameter? Any special reason for using the word "ROTOMATIC"? Might be self-explanatory but would be good to know.

Post often.

Thanks all for warm welcome !!!

Titoni (old name Felca, Felco) is a Swiss family brand sice 1919 (http://www.Titoni.ch) and I collect only this brand - own more then 30 pieces in many different styles.

Rotomatic is a synonym for automatic- most ETA movements (27xx + 28xx).

Ist a steel brezel - yes approx. 36mm

 Here are my vintage Cosmo King´s woohoo.gif

Philip, thanks for the response. These watches remind me so much of Rxxxx especially the platform, profile, bezels, clasps, bracelets and indeces. Only the crowns and date windows are a departure. I also take off my hats to you for your loyalty to the brand. Hardly I meet a WIS like you. I am assuming your collection is deep and wide. Kudosbravo.gif

Nice Lupah! I was stateside when this was issued and missed this because back then, inter-state payments were not as easy. Too bad for me. Great choice, amigoThumbsUp02.gif. Enjoy it in good health!
