No, not a watch this time!

'tis a strap. winking smiley

But sure, it did indeed come from The Land Down Under...

It came with a nice dual-pushbutton butterfly deployant, and I at first took it for a 22. But when I went to test fit it on the Time World Unitas it didn't want to go. WTH? I refused to believe it was a 24.. could it be? I dug out the calipers and, Yep! That vanishingly rare breed, a 23mm strap.

Hmmmm. Now don't I have an ol' watch that has 23mm lugs?

Sure do!

Yeah, it's an XL, and really needs to be an XXL.

And, no, I'm not entirely sure about the yellow stitching, either.

But for the nonce, having an actual sure 'nough 23 mm strap on the watch is such a novelty that all that can be forgiven!

One thing's sure...

VERY Ricky! Looks good, even with the yellow stitching; gives it a bit of color! (n/t)	EdH	8	September 10, 2012 04:31PM
Nice one Ricky, the yellow stitching adds just the right amount of colour to an elegant watch. (n/t)	JY	8	September 10, 2012 04:45PM

Very nice strap I don't think the yellow stitching works with that particular watch. I think you need to get out your yellow highlighter and color in the indices, so it matches. As always, love that Mido. -Jeremy ************************** "Well begun is half done." --Aristotle	Smaug	10	September 11, 2012 06:38AM
I knew there had to be at least ONE naysayer in the lot o' ye! Quote Smaug I don't think the yellow stitching works with that particular watch. Despite all the positive comments, I tend to agree. Or, at least let's say that I am "Still On The Fence". Quote Smaug I think you need to get out your yellow highlighter and color in the indices, so it matches. Sacrilege! You're flirtin' with The Full Wet Noodle Treatment, me friend. But seriously, I have considered breakin' out the blacke Sharpie© and giving those yellow stitches a quick going-over...
