    Today my watchmaker gave me lots of weird goodies. A 16mm cow skin strap.... An 18mm USSR strap (marked CCCP)... And this furry 18mm which he says is very bad for mechanical watches. Great.

    Any idea what I could match it up with?
    My only watches with 18mm lugs are a Hermes watch and an Omega 1942 RAF watch.

    Okay, I cheated a bit, it's not squirrel fur-- it looks like rabbit .Either way I think I'm on PETA's hit list now.

    The first two ...:thumbsup: ... your watchmaker must like you!

    That last one...:eek:...now I am not so sure any more!

    I would probably match it up with the garbage can, but that's just me!:p

    Ok.

    We challenge you to post a wrist shot of one of your watches wearing one of the furry straps.

    You may have something there.

    Watch straps that double as shaving brushes.

    Aerm.... how can I say this diplomatically -- not sure a lady wants to engage in a discussion about shaving.

    It would look quite fetching as an accessory with this sportswear:

    better not let Ulackfocus see that squirrel strap...... he's likely to become a bit unhinged!

    It'd probably work on a Hublot of some sort.
