Something arrived in the mail today:)

Ordered straight from Hong Kong:)




Hmm what's inside?




New shoes:)




16610 on calfskin leather black strap




Even has a aftermarket Rolex looking clasp:)




Omega PO on white calfskin leather strap.








Nothing fancy but something different for a change. Only changed 2 of my timepieces from bracelet to straps. Haven't tried the Nato yet. Let me know what you think?


Cheers,

Andy

I think it's a nice way to change up your watches. I'm particularly drawn to the white strap on the PO.

Oh they weren't too expensive just go to their website shown in my second picture. Also I didn't think the white would work but I'm actually starting to like it alot now cause it gives the PO a very sporty look

hehe Thanks Steph, I didn't know you were on TRF as well Ya my fiance loves the white on PO as well. I think it's a girl thing She keeps stealing my timepieces to wear haha. I don't mind her wearing them. Men's size watches on females are in style now and I'm sure she will steal my PO more often as well

Leather...chicks dig it.
I really like the white myself. A nice combo.
Will they be OK if they get wet?
