I'm so excited!!! Going to Taipei in less than 30 days. Photos will come. I just google mapped my hotel I'm staying at and its walking distance to Wontoncraft. As a bonus, the Panerai boutique is right on the way. May have to wear my noob CrPO to the boutique and then whip out my noob 243 when I get to Wontancraft. Definitely getting a strap. Will post pics so subscribe to the thread.

Is it cheaper to get it locally except the saving on shipping?

I don't know. Have never bought there before. I know I'll save on the shipping, but I wonder if it is cheaper than the website?

I live just outside Taipei. There aren't any local dealers with good stock. Most of it is cheap 21j crap. I use our TDs

Go to the night markets. They are really cool. Forget about getting reps there.

I've been to Taipei about five times already. Subway is very convenient and clean and new. Food there is awesome and can be cheap.

I'm going to Taiwan at the end of May, I'm very interested in hearing about your trip, regardless of its relation to watches!

I actually meant the Wontoncraft strap because that was what I thought you were referring to when you said that you will get some straps. ;)

The Wotan shop is small, but very cool. A few of the guys speak English, too.

Ha, Wolf, you wrote Wontoncraft. Those guys make straps from wontons. Not as durable, but much tastier than leather.

Finally made it to Wotancraft. It was a pain to find.

Grabbed two straps. Prices are a lot cheaper at the showroom.

Met Alex, one of the founders of Wotancraft. Awesome guy. He sized and punched this strap for me.
