·I’ve just bought some locking strap ends and a no.27 clasp for mine, and I will get a rally strap made with the clasp. Probably not the cheapest way of doing things, but it will be just as I want it once done.

·I recently had a chronostop rally strap made by steveostraps.com with the clasp and end links I had. It’s a great looking rally strap.
Would you mind posting some photos on here? I’m looking for ideas for mine, however I will probably just go for a nice black textured leather, to keep things quite original.

·Many thanks, that looks great. Is that the ‘goat skin’? I wasn’t sure whether to go for this or a textured leather, slightly padded rally strap. How does it feel?
Cheers, Paul.

Yes, that's correct, it's goat skin. I really like it, its lovely handmade quality and the thickness of the strap is just right(imo). It sits really well and is very comfortable. It just feels like a really solid strap that fits perfectly with the watch.
As a disclaimer - I have no ties to steveostraps, just a satisfied customer.
Regards
Chris

·Nice watch. Also, glad to see that caseback has double reference. Someone on this forum has told me that caseback with double reference is wrong for this model. I sold mine due to watch being too small for me, but it is indeed cool watch.
I did a lot of research, and studied many watches of this model. All the ones I have seen have the double reference case back.
as for it being quite a small watch, it is, however I have quite small wrists, so it looks fine on me, fortunately!
