Ever had a strap that makes you love a watch again?
 

Well it happened to me yesterday.

As many of you know it was my birthday this past weekend and one of my Risti buddies told me to bring in a strap punch for a little something he had sending me for my birthday. Due to the storm (and his inability to write my correct address) the package was delayed a bit but arrived yesterday. I quickly tore it open and saw this freaking BEAUTIFUL strap inside. I went to town right away busting out my tools and went to work.

Punch, check. Screw driver, check. 390, check. Ready to roll.

Oh HELLLLLLLL yeah... been starring at this baby all night and day and makes me appreciate the 390 all over again. This strap is going to make me forget about the Jumbo for a while... once I get back I can't wait to try it on my 4A.

Awesome strap, works well with the 390! :thumbsup:

It's not the first time I've seen a custom-punched strap, but the first time I'll finally get a chance to ask... do you punch it for indoor, outdoor, winter, Summer time? I went off to work this morning (~8°c) and my strap was slightly loose and by the end of the workday I was considering switching holes because the strap was feeling a bit too tight... :thinking:

Nice combo. :thumbsup:

very nice :cheers:

Awesome strap and 390...

I don't know what it is, in pic's on other peoples wrists I think the 390 is so gorgeous..

However I go into my watch box and always overlook mine :/ What's the deal? hrm
