Icon14 Huge Thanks to Nathan for the new strap!!!

When I entered Nathans 500 post strap giveaway It never even crossed my mind that I would win. But I'm sure glad I did. I would of been honored to wear any strap that he picked regardless of if I liked it or not but he absolutely nailed it. Not only is the strap made with great quality but matches my red absolutely perfect. It also looks great on my snowflake.

He also included some goodies....A spring bar tool, Rolex pouch / cloth and a Tang buckle. Plus the extra Hodinkee buckle.

I can't thank Nathan enough. This forum is full of great people just like him and I am thankful to be a part of it.


Sorry for the poor cell pics but here it is

One more thing.....because Nathan was such a good guy and I absolutely love the strap I will be paying it forward and having my own giveaway. Just need to figure out what I wanna do. Stay tuned

I've always used timetraveler for my straps but Hodinkees straps are beautifully made with great detail. There a little thicker but they make them thinner by the buckle so there extremely comfortable. Love how the underside is too...lays nice on the wrist.


Thanks again Nathan. ..I know I've told you like 25 times but I'm truly thankful for the kind gesture. I like the strap more then anything I've ever picked for myself

Haha I take it you've used the "Honey, I won this watch in a TRF giveaway! I swear!" fib before?

Can't use the same one twice… it'll come back and bite you in the

Looks great!

You will not be sorry you did. I really like timetraveler straps but these I like a bit more. Great quality

Larry, you were one of the guys I had hoped would win. This strap would look amazing on your snowflake.

Well Nathan, you could do this once a month. I'm just not lucky when it comes to these things but that's a nice thought.
