Beautiful combo! I'm unsure as to the 'value for money' on the HKTan straps.... They do look very well made, but then, so do Orloff's and I've heard nary a bad thing about either maker...
Truth is, I could have 2 from orloff with enough left over for movies with the wife in comparison to 1 HK...
Anyone care to share their experience with either maker?

Mine finally arrived!!!!
This is without doubt, one of the coolest watches I have owned! I should have bought 10! However, even this purchase was not without issue - Toro and I have had little luck in the way of smooth transactions, but he'll come through - so just makes the whole experience more interesting!
Here they are together;
Some iPhone glamour shots;
And the issues; Can you pick them....? Pretty obvious to me!

FANTASTIC! They are an amazing watch. If it wasn't for my girl I would not have let it go to a forum friend.
I'm down to 7 watches now from like 20.
I have to get down to 6 (the size of my watch box) by next year

Me either, and I won't be living with it either! Toro has already agreed to replace the watch.... As luck would hav it, the movement runs absolutely flawlessly - so smooth, like butter! And the date flips over right on 12....
Would be nice to just organise the parts and pay for my watchsmith to replace them for me.

Interestingly, my mont has not drawn comments of adoration, caused supermodels to drop at my feet, stopped wars or even provoked much more than 'what's that?!' upon dealing with colleagues today...
Although the opening to this post is not entirely true, had I posted this 20 minutes ago it would have been (although at least one supermodel passed out at my feet i think, and so I did the gentlemanly thing and tipped her a fiver for a free big mac) and most recently i had an encounter where one of the boys grabbed my wrist with the enthusiasm of a sped on an ice-cream cone, exclaiming 'that's a f'ing cool watch!' then continued with 'all it needs is a silver band and it would be awesome - what is it?'.....
Other comments included a monotone 'yeh, I don't hate it', the very well thought out, and succinctly put, 'ugh, jeez dogg, what is that thing....? not my style, eh' So passion in my work mates, does not my Montauk conjure....
It would seem that I'm basking in the glory of being, 'individual', at least when in the company of the majority of my work colleagues. Do I care...? Fu@k no - I love this thing, and it is in fact growing on me more and more as the day goes on.
I'm genuinely worried about sending it back to Toro for replacement... I almost find it's imperfections endearing - but then I remember how anal retentive I am about my wrist attire, so I suck it up momentarily while this little beauty steals my gaze, and decide it ha to be done - but our love is true....
If you're in the fence, grow a set, buy a set, borrow them back from your missus - do whatever it takes, but man up and buy it!
Woooooo!!!!!
