Advice on buying Carrera with leather strap

[greger]

I'm looking for a Carrera Black with a leather strap, like this one: http://www.timeshops.net/12904-d4-os-9260.html

Is this a reputable site, and is the watch a good value for the money? What should I watch out for with my first purchase?

Thanks.

IMO i would save up for a carrera with a7750 movement which is a rep of the gen.
also i wont ever get one with the rep leather, its crappy in quality. rather get the SS and buy some nice leather.
i have a carrera racing, bought it with the SS, sold the bracelet here and bought a nice rubber strap and im very happy with it

How about this? http://www.trwatch.com/product_info.php?cPath=49&products_id=525

Rubber straps are also quite interesting. Can you recommend some leather and rubber straps that would fit the abovementioned watch well?

thats the one, rubber is buttery smooth, very comfortable to wear. since it will come with a clasp, you can switch to leather whenever you feel like it. there are alot of high end strap makers on the forum who will cater to all your strap needs, something like a real black croc with red stitching will be bomb!

I think I'll go for that one. Your help is much appreciated.

Follow-up question: will I have problems ordering from Trevor's shop to Sweden?

 

[shaidx]

Really? That's weird he told me he's out of stock! Oh well.. Maybe he hooked you up with one.

Can't say about sweden's customs, fellow members from Sweden or Trevor himself can answer that more confidently
