8 Days Later: Lotso Pics
 
The honeymoon ain't over! I love this one so very much. Highlights for me:

- 8 day manual wind movement (love that the second hand resets to zero when crown is pulled out)
- Curved sapphire crystal
- The very subtle and hidden (until you want it) GMT hand
- Slim case (I was used to the automatic 1950s cases)

The strap obsession certainly grew very quickly on you.

Retail therapy is needed....more straps!

masterserg 24 January 2013 08:12 AM

FANTASTIC!!!!

Can I ask for a wristshot with the OEM accordion? I've been debating that one.

Thanks!

rockmastermike 24 January 2013 08:21 AM

I prefer the accordian to the regular rubber strap.

However, my favorite summer time strap is the OEM Velcro dive strap (yes, I have even more straps).

Wow! Great collection... you have some really nice straps there....

Time Collector 24 January 2013 02:47 PM

Wow! for a second there, I thought I was browsing a custom strap website looking for new shoes for my own 233. Thanks for sharing!:clap::clap::clap:

kevbm 24 January 2013 04:19 PM

One of the best 233 threads that I've seen. Such a versatile piece. Thanks for tempting me to pull the trigger on one!

Psmith 24 January 2013 07:11 PM

Great pics, thanks! :thumbsup:

Very nice!

How'd you get the gold calf to turn that color?

After trying about 10 different straps on my PAM 233 I'm back to the OEM tunnel most of the time. Good thing flipping straps is way cheaper than flipping watches!

CMT 26 January 2013 01:59 PM

Gorgeous. :thumbsup:

Watchdog 26 January 2013 09:56 PM

Gorgeous watch and straps!!

Lots of oiling and setting in the sun. I wouldn't recommend it though, as it's hard to know what will happen. I'm happy with the way this one came out. Look forward to getting that OEM black croc strap! :cheers:

jvo300 31 January 2013 06:21 AM

And here's another (thanks again, Paul). I love the OEM straps!
