Also posted in PAM folder. Straps are some gen OEMs, MPs (50%), GeFs (really starting to love these), MF 1942s, TCs, several oem (mainly rubber).

E., this croc strap case rocks! [smilie=thumbsup.gif]

Not all the straps but starting to get crowded ... hmmm, maybe my wife is right, I have a leather festish :D :shock:

The 3646 Deco is waiting on a vintage style MM strap w/ rivets from Germano (in Germany of course); also a burgundy croc (no stitch) for my 231 - not pictured.

I need a 113 - poor wifey! :p

80% of watches are modded / upgraded - all but 1 are Swiss mvmts.

:shock: holy crap! that is an awesome site brad. cheers to you bro! :D

Thanks a lot mate! BTW, when I was in my 20s I was unemployed 30% of the time, 30% of the time I made shit (cleaning cars, pulling beers in bars etc) and rest of the time I was a student.

Why am I sharing this? I'm not posting to brag about the collection because times are better, I still recall when I couldn't afford A rep, let a alone the above - so thanks for not taking it that way & for what it is: pure enjoyment of some nice works of art, for that's how I see these :D :D

cheers, BBB

Germans and Aussies love leder

Well, ya know LP how I feel about Germans :D

"Ve haf vays of making you love Italienisches leder ..." :lol: (hey, I married one ;) )

Yep, we Aussies like our leather - we also like sheep, a LOT. But not as much as Kiwis (enzo? :roll: :lol: )

Thanks for the comment - and I have enjoyed immensely your own collection's development.

cheers - BBB

Yep - I feel very fortunate :)

Come to Sth central TX and I'll crack a beer / vino / lemonade and you can play to your heart's content.

I loved your post on the 100 y.o. piece, BTW [smilie=thumbsup.gif]
There's a lot to be said for history!

Dude, stop with the pics of the 201A, already. I've succeeded in convincing myself I don't need one. Then, here you go posting a pic of one (and yours is SOOOOO nice!), making want to send an email to Davidsen all over again!

Dammit!

Nice pics and collection, BTW. :wink:

If ever I'm in TX for work, we're getting a pint and talking watches!

A "pint" - are you a Pommie? :p :D I would totally be in to lifting an ale w/ ye. Or maybe you're a culturally globalized bloke - no matter.

On the 201/A - just surrender self-control already! It is absolutely one of my top 3.

Do ya need a 'push'? I know someone that has one and I might be able to get a few pics for ya.....

One more thing:

Stop it with your 201a, it isn't making my a abstinence of future rep purchases any easier, I need to fund my 112 account (1st is my SEP, 2nd is my Roth, 3rd is my 112 account :wink: ).

I didn't understand a single word you said. :lol:

True, could be a Valentine's present to myself? Afterall, I *did* just buy the wifey a $200+ Coach purse...

Rationalizations are fun! :wink:

The dial on yours is NOT the sandwich dial correct? Is the sandwich dial his "current" 201A dial? I get so confused...
