I love the look of the FC Worldtimer pictured in the iwmagazine.
That is what the TO Unitime should have looked like.



And for about 1/3 of the price.

Ah, a proper strap makes all the difference. Knew the first time I put the FC OEM Croc-calf strap on, it wouldn’t last. The exterior surface was too brittle and too thin. After a few wearings, it was showing more wear than acceptable –


Look at the puckering-

But I ordered a Camille Fournet the day I strapped on the OEM strap. CF makes straps for many high end watches – JLC, IWC, Breguet, Patek, etc... They are supple yet durable with a fine rubberized lining and even quick release spring bars on this model.


Arrived today and instantly upgraded the watch and took the comfort to a new level.


A couple comparison strap shots –

And on the watch –

I still consider this watch a bargain even after adding about $280 to the discounted price I received. The right strap amps it up a big notch.
