I have posted a picture of this already - sitting all forlorn in it's box and one of the problems I have been having is what strap to put on it.

For those of you who know the 1970's Sprint - it is quite a difficult shape and has quite a narrow strap width. Consequently most straps look far to small for the watch or just don't stand out properly. In most cases, a quality leather strap will do just fine ( Fred matches his particularly well !!) but for this watch it just wasn't working.

Well I think I have found a solution, that brings out the orange features on the dial and looks big enough for the heavy ( looking) case. And it only cost me 6 quid ( with free P&P).

hope it works for you too and all I need now is an orange 1973 911S to go with it !!!

Regards
Graham

Yes, I know the problem you are describing, I have a fe of these issues too. Looks like it works well and is a good choice on colour matching. Its got me thinking............
