So I was passing an OB today in London and they had one of these in stock (thought they were long gone). I know they are not the most popular of limited editions and very much love or hate but I liked it so thought why not. As I was in the shop I asked the chap to put it on a 'Snoopy' strap and that sealed the deal for me...Honest thoughts about the watch strap combo please?

Strap looks nice with it in my opinion. The watch face, judged on it's own, is another story I looked at one that was still in a boutique about 1-1/2 years ago, and it just didn't hit the right notes for me.
WatchRecon is showing a brand new one for sale in California. Price seems optimistic (i.e., looks like it may be MSRP).
I think the strap looks good on that watch. I saw one of these within the last six months either at an AD or boutique, was surprised they were still available. Anyway, enjoy the watch.
Wasn’t regent street was it? They had it in one of the special cases a week or two ago. It’s one of those that looks much better in the metal to me. Congrats! I much prefer it in strap as it breaks up the silver a bit.
It was the Royal Exchange OB. They had just got it in a few days ago and built a lovely display around it at the back of the shop. I don't think they expected to sell it for a while and then muggins walks in and ruins all their hard work.
You'd think that right but the manager actually said 'we're not sure what we're going to put here now'. He went on to explain that the normal moonwatch box was too big and they didn't have any more limited editions. I did offer to rent my watch back to them for a couple of weeks at a reasonable rate but got the feeling they didn't want to risk me changing my mind about taking the watch, so he said no.
