Iāve had a quick dig in the Box Of Shame and found
ABP galuchat / shagreen / stingray, and a Greg Stevens basic calf strap.
Both obviously used.
Hit me up if youād like either (please give Jon something).
Be aware that there are significant eco-issues around stingray. And before the villagers turn up with pitchforks: I didnāt buy it.

A less closeup view which maybe shows itās not that huge. Well in diameter itās a thicc boi though.
Gyroscope, could I ask the lengths of the straps? As you can probably tell from the above I have wrists that rival most peoples ankles and find many straps either plain, donāt fit or are on the last hole with the end dangling.
Iāve always admired stingray straps looks if not their sourcing hence never buying one so the opportunity to try one without contributing to that directly is attractive if itāll fit me.
Let me know. 
Stingray: 115/77mm, 3 holes, centre hole is 52mm from the tip of the blade
GSD: 130/85mm, 5 holes varying between 48 and 78mm from the tip of the blade
There are 40mm and (iirc) even 38mm options nowadays too.
Good to see thereās awareness of this nowadays. And once the strap exists, itās better to use it than waste it
Julian buying something that isnāt loathsome is the most upsetting thing Iāve seen in a while mindā¦

Well the wifeās made me put it back in the box until my birthday on Friday, had to check it worked, thatās my excuse anyway lolā¦
Gyroscope, sadly, unless I lose a metric fuckton of weight the stingray probably wonāt fit, the GSD should do though so Iāll pm you and we can work out details if thatās ok?
Maureen, sorry to traumatise you so, Iām sure normal service will be resumed, I still have to find something cheap and quarter proof to take on holiday, so if anyone has any suggestions for something that will survive a waterpark and make sodders puke his ring into orbit for around the Ā£100 mark theyād be gratefully receivedā¦

Since when has Sodders been the arbiter of good taste?

Daytona with a clear caseback hmm
IWC new releases - boring & predictable
Tudor new releases - boring & predictable
Rolex new releases - boring & predictable
Iām starting to detect a patternā¦
Two sizes of Explorer is a good idea.
Wish they would extend that the to oversized sports range.
The colourful dials are for those who already have too many and want some fun. Gash for any newcomer.
Rest is meh, but Iād have the gold GMT in a heartbeat. But, cash reasons means NO. (Probably unwearable for the average man due to size and weight).
I do fancy that colourful dial! Must have a look next time Iām in Heathrow.

Ha! Love it - like a green dial, and anything with Kermit on it is a win

Came across Cuervo y Sobrinos recently a brand I had never heard of. Formed in Havana and now makes its watches in Switzerland. My initial interest was caused by this dual movement model. They do have more conventional offerings

They appeared upthread somewhere. I always remember them coming in nice humidors.
