    If you don't know, basically proceeds from these straps will be donated to help a fellow OF member after he had a major accident. To keep everything simple, please make payment to my by PayPal (F&F only); I will cover standard postage and everything you pay will go to Bill's PayPal account.

    If you want tracked and insured postage, please add £5 to the price (one off, if you buy one strap or all of them).

    All that out the way, the straps below were made for photoshoots and promotions. They have never been worn but have been fastened together - the only one that has anything visible is the black strap and this is very minor. These straps retail at between £40 and 50 each. Every strap will be £25 for the "bake sale".

    To the straps themselves:

    First three are for Bell & Ross and measure 24mm for the spring bar. Max width varies slightly on each: denim, 33mm; black leather 35mm; baseball glove (tan leather) 33.2mm.

    Next is a 22mm navy blue with yellow edging. Fitted into the window of the strap is aluminium (aluminum to our American cousins) from a drinks can.

    Finally, a black and tan leather strap 24mm

    All the straps measure 160mm to the furthest hole, add on the diameter of your watch to get the total maximum length. Each strap should be good for a wrist of 200mm or 8 inches.

    Thanks for reading; thanks to OF for the space; and, thanks to all members helping out with Bill's expenses.

    No-one owns a Bell & Ross or larger watch? In other words ... bump.
