Oh wow very cool sir, I wasn’t ebpven aware that they could do that
to tell you the truth. 😀 Now you know exactly when it’s going to be
arriving. Plus you will now have all of the time in between to enjoy the
anticipation that much more. 🎉

Nice work !

Holding items is an option, but not always followed thru with. Several month ago I had a delivery on a day we were to be out of town.

We didn't leave home (as planned) because my Bride became ill - when they caught us by surprise.

Things don’t always work out as planned unfortunately.

However it’s good, not to mention a lot less stressful if you or we
can just go with it or go with the flow right sir?! 😉

You can bet your sweet bippy on that ...
today I overheard my bride talking to FedEx about why her package wasn't being delivered.

The short answer was someone placed "this address" on a "vacation hold".

I absolutely love the bronze case! And the patina will look awesome! For some reason I have always loved my possessions more after they have shown a little wear and tear, or as i like to call it personality. Thats how you know its yours!

I'm with Strap up there, the bronze BB is absolutely loveable. I hung on the bronze with the slate grey dial, but it seemed less practicle and the something about a steel (silver) bezel just sits right with me. I love what you've picked up, it's sure to aquire looks with age in my opinion.

Oooooh, I very much like that middle pic AW.
Almost gun metal (another bad habit of mine).

Last week I made this strap change:

TheStrapSmith - Custom Leather Watch Straps

Custom hand built watch straps from the finest leather and other quality materials.

I love the BB bracelet and the quality of the leather strap and buckle with my BB, but the strap is thin, I'd like to feel it on a strap twice as thick yet equally as supple. Love the bronze!

 

[Wrascal]

I suspect the source of the leather (cow, shark, elephant, etc) plus the thickness determines how stiff it is; but I'd further speculate there are things the maker can do to the hide to soften it. I consider this ostrich strap (after a few days of break in) to be reasonably supple.

Q? How thick is your current strap? I just calipered my ostrich along several points. The thinnest point was 4.11mm, the fattest point was 4.39mm. I also have several other straps (Horween leather from another source) that varied along the 3+mm mark - they were significantly better / stronger, yet still pliable vs. those (eBay / Amazon bargain straps) in the 2mm range.

No guarantees he'll drop in but I'll ask the StrapSmith to comment - I've found him very helpful with my questions.

I would be happy to help you get a thicker leather strap that is still very supple. Email me at [email protected] and I can give you a few options. Thank you.

Wowzer! Did you change into your quick response outfit?

Note to AW, I'll bet he could even reuse your current straps (Tudor branded) hardware if you desired to use it on a new strap.

 

[AtomicTom]

Just when you think a watch couldn’t possibly look any better. 😀😎
Seriously, I just love how an epic strap can turn a watch into an
extra extraordinary special edition Wrascal. 😉I mean this watch
was already special, but a strap like this kicks up any and every
kind of watch. With this Tudor teaching new heights now !

Ridiculously nice, keep on enjoying !!!

I’ve had several tutors over the years great watches in my opinion
