Wanted a horse of a different color. 44mm with a Unitas movement.
Great watch, but came with a crappy strap, that's actually 23mm... what's up with that? Sorry for the horrible pictures, they do not do the watch justice.

Nice, have not seen one before it must be a new model with the ETA 6498 movement. That's an interesting color too, kind of cool. The 23mm is usual for these cases, Ambassador, Mach, etc.ThumbsUp02.gif

I love it! 24mm straps should work!

My wife loves green and that is a great shade of it...overall its a sweet looking design you have there. Love the bulky lume hands as even if they were hollowed out it would still look great!

Thats a fine piece!

This 23 mm BS kinda bothers me. Getting a strap made is no problem. Jeanna at Stone Creek is awesome, my problem is with the buckle. I usually don't like anything tapered, and 23 mm buckles are few and far between.

It is not done often but you could have Jeanna do a slight taper on the watch end with a 24mm strap so it is not obvious and go with 24mm buckles.
