Some of mine:

The strap on this first one is from Help for Heroes - a UK forces charity that I'm pleased to be an official supporter of through both of my businesses. The fact that it matches the watch perfectly is just a bonus, I've always got at least one watch on one a H4H strap.








Not a great photo, but this was my 21st birthday present and it's not one I'm letting go:

I've looked all over for one but I've also been told they won't officially be released onto the UK market. Boo hoo!

Thanks. This one and my BLNR are always battling it out for wrist time.

I've not gone to 2 watches at 1 time, but it is tempting.
