Hi All,

Thought i'd take some pictures of the 233K again but this time on Micah's 'flagship' strap, the Mauser. This is a medium color w/ white stitch and I can easily say it is one of the best i've ever owned. I'm hoping to also get a darker brown w/ green stitch down the track but for now, this will suffice. Previously i've only owned Micah's brindle in 26mm and I absolutely loved that strap. I would like to also grab one of his copperplate and vdark straps next.

The texture and feeling of this strap is second to none. And believe me, i've owned at least 1 strap from just about about every quality strap maker. That includes Simona, Micah and Ted Su. To describe this strap, its most similar to Ted's rare swiss ammo but much more pliable. Anyway, here goes. Pics were taken indoors tonight with the flash so they're not like my usual pictures. I really need to learn to soften the flash but either way, these were the best pictures from tonight and I thought i'd share.

Cheers,
Jay

Yeah i'm going to snap up a black croc w/ white stitch I think.

The strap that comes on the 270 I believe.

Still prefer the ammo straps though for overall appearance.

Good idea, I reckon the 233 will look great on that.

I'm with D8, I tend to prefer the croc OEM look. The two gators I'm rotating at the moment are after-market but they look similar to OEM (in fact I think they're equal or better quality at a much lower price). But I do like your range of straps, Jay.

Where are you 111 pics mate?

I miss that watch. Wish I still had it to go with my 233.

Yeah, it's about time I took some pics. The collection has changed quite a bit since my last SOTC thread.

I'm glad you sold the 111 :mrgreen: . If I ever decide to sell it, you'll be the first person to know about it, but I don't think that's very likely - I'm very happy with it. :D
