Looks like the new 2000V from XF is a pretty decent rep and if there's enough interest i could start the strap project.

So guys if you want this to happen you better show up here in this thread and convince me these straps are going to sell

I think this might be a discussion worth starting on the 2000V thread as the profile of the watch is totally different from the 4500V, even if the width is the same, the thickness certainly isnt. SMP_lover - there is already some interest expressed in that thread from myself and another couple of people.

Thanks for heads up, could you please throw in the link to that thread here for me ? Thanks !

We'll be definitely working on the XF 2000, the watch was ordered and we should expect the prototype to be presented by mid february.

Hey guys, so long overdue update on strap situation. In our drive to make the strap as thin as possible, preferably it should continue the case profile just like the bracelet does. One way would be to use metal but it is just unfeasible. You'd need moq of at least 1000 pieces to start such a project and it would take even longer so we went for composite plastics. Unfortunately the available material would not offer enough stability given the small thickness so we had to find something stronger and we did find it. It took some time of course and covid doesn't help too, with shipping and handling being slow everywhere.

No long story short. We got the needed plastic. The inserts should be ready in a couple of days and we start on the strap. Stay tuned

Do you still have any of these straps for the 2000v left? I just ordered one from Hont, and would love some strap options.
