Since we've got a lot of Univeral Geneve fans, Polerouter guys, Tri-Compax lovers, and so on, I figured we should add this forum to OF, especially given the overlap with Omega fans.

Just reading this post on Purists really confirmed the need:

So tell any UG lovers out there to drop by and show us their toys =D

So Zenith fans need to beg, show evidence, produce photos, and UG fans get it handed to them on a plate??

You have no idea how much begging went on in PMs for this to happen, it was over a week of discussion, mass emails back and forth among us and UG guys and threats to kidnap and shave Trevor's cat. In the end we caved in to pressure.

Swedish massage gets you further than begging...

The first thing thought of was a message for Ash, but they could not get a Swedish girl to go to Australia, something about an irrational fear of Crocodiles.

After a video appeared of a croc-teasing Swedish tourist being hit in the face by a “flying” crocodile, Australian experts claim the Swede was never in danger.

Would need to be hypoallergenic to appeal to the mass market.

Some design options, some of which would go perfectly with Kyle's 'leopard connie'!

Interesting...... although the straps seem more suited to some bling Rolex's.

I really wish you guys hadn't opened this UG forum. I suspect it's going to be very expensive for me. :wink:

I'm sorry, you've taken this thread off on a tangent (about actual UG watches). please return to the current topic of conversation, straps made with weird animal leather or weird animal fur!
