For a great morning of conversation and company! We had a little G2G today at a local coffee shop and it was a real pleasure to meet Carl, Nelson and his lovely fiance Shannon. Three of the most genuine and nice people a chap could have the good fortune to meet!

Carl wore his stunning new seawolf, magnificent is the word to describe it! Nelson had his PAM Shannon a lovely Tiffany and I my Cockpit plus three other more budget based watches to have a look at.

Great coffee and great company, we must do it again soon!

Great to meet you guys, it is great to put faces to the names, what a great community this is!

Hey Ian,
Thanks to you, Nelson and Shannon!
Now I can't get the idea out of my head, to find a great aftermarket leather strap for the Seawolf. Black, thick and with white stitching. A lot of the aftermarket straps are only available in 24/24mm width, and I'm looking for a 22mm. I have an excellent buckle which I can use, the brushed one off the Diver Pro strap that came with my watch.
Well, part of the fun of having these watches is the search for the watch and the accessories!
Cheers,
Carl

They're not the cheapest straps I've seen, but one of the best non-OEM:

You can get it both 22 mm, extra thick and with white stitching.

It's an infection Carl, once we get started there is no stopping us :lol: :lol:
I really liked the way the black leather with white stitching worked with your watch but was thinking after that some of the straps I have seen on PAM's have that slightly rough look to them which would really work with the bulk of the seawolf I think, I will keep my eye out for you!
