Wrist check December week 1

[takashi]

Hehe. I am waiting for custom strap from tootall for my IWC 3717. Watch is down now (crystal on AR) and it should be ready next week. By then tootall would finish making a custom strap for me

Anyway, I wore VCO today:

 

[hooligan]

It's a very, very short nap suede, I guess? It's not smooth leather, it's slightly fuzzy. Not nearly as fuzzy as actual suede. Maybe tootall could chime in here....

Hey, first off it looks great!! I never thought about matching it with a white dial!

The leather is called buffed leather. It's not suede, as that is achieved through splitting leather. This is leather that has been buffed to give it a softer texture. It is the softest leather I have. I really love wearing it!

I do however, think that it could be worn more than just with jeans. I think a nice navy suit will go great with it.

LOL I'm sure it could. I'm not much of a suit guy, though, tootall. Khaki pants and button-down shirts are about as dressy as I need to get, unless I'm headed to a wedding or something.

I love the strap. I think the *hint* of blue in the leather makes it a natural with denim....

WEDNESDAY

Huge change of plans for me in the Wristchecks. I had originally planned on two different watches, one of them the Lange1 which belongs to my father. I'm also saving a very special Rolex DD for this weekend.

So without further ado, my DSN FIDDY on a lovely Toscana Capretto Tan strap! :mrgreen:

It's either very dark or very light, depending on your light source. Very versatile strap. [smilie=alien.gif]

Oops, okay, next time I'll know to place from where this strap is, not just the make, since I received two PMs already (on another forum):

It's at full price at the mo'.

THURSDAY

Incredibly, ever since I restarted watching Top Gear, I've been wearing my Pumpkin Planet Ocean (from member Navigater), on the black diver strap he threw in for me. I prefer it on the orange strap, but this is a nice change of pace!

Nice shot crow. For me it was a chilly day, finally, here in the midwest. Having said that i thought the ferrari would go good with me gloves and fleece

Or a really good eye. I have that same watch mate. You are going to love it. Now i do not feel so bad about Invictas :wink:

Here are some fresh pics of the snow that fell today. I have been waiting several months for this. Yahhhhhhooooooooooo

FRIDAY

My new Rolex Day-Date from RWG member, Azmindreader. Lovely lovely, gen-looking linen/tuxedo dial. [smilie=alien.gif] [smilie=alien.gif]

I wanted to share in the snow fun. Here's me wearing my North Face anorak and the Rollie DD.

But the reality, I'm afraid, is much different. It was 87F/31C today. :mrgreen: ...shame about the boys, though, TWP.

SATURDAY

You've seen the Fiddy sized version, but here's Greg Stevens' Crazy Horse with antique stitching on my DSN PAM 112! Beautiful (and sold out). But there was a surprise in the buckle I wasn't expecting! :shock:

SUNDAY

This is my "Nantucket" watch. A Geneva on grosgrain D-ring strap. [smilie=angel10.gif]
