·.... love the aesthetics and design, just subtract the diamonds and slap in something mechanical (or if not, make the price more in line with quartz)...
To quote or not to quote. Or start a new thread. I did not even see the diamonds at first. I did a screecap of this as I see the image of the watch in question is cached on the omega site and may vanish. there is also a lot of whitespace in the catalog image I trimmed.
I love this band, and it gives me some ideas for how I might enhance some of my own older watches and bring them back into useable shape. Most of my watches are old and have rather maculine stlye bands. I want a soft flexable band.
My mother (who usually wears a watch) does seem to like the expansion bands (which I get to adjust for her.) I have a few of her older watches which have migrated to my drawer, because the quartz movements have gone bad.
I find expansion bands so masculine or pinchy. I really want a cloth band that feels soft. That I sort of do want an expasion EVA Velcro band for my speedy.
There is also the question of frankens. I could easily fix up some of these old bulk brand cases with a vintage movement. (If I was not lazy I could even source a new quartz one.) Is that something one should do.
I save my old tattered jeans for their fabric (trendy in their own right.) The old canvas denim is great to work with. Now I am thinking what if I sewed together a band for a vintage watch. Would that be heresy?
