ATG Forums

 

The idea of forums is for people to meet discuss and share ideas about watches, old new, blue, green anything! The site is largely for chronograph enthusiasts, but that does not mean that you cannot post about other types of watches just as long as they are interesting in their own way. Discuss ‘Off topic’ subjects not relating to the watch world and post your pictures too See Forum Guide for advice.

THE FORUMS ARE NOW READ ONLY; The New ATG Forums have arrived!  Please re-register on the new forum to begin posting.

The buckle I have chosen for the new ATG straps has arrived after being laser etched with the ATG Logo.

I initially looked at 5 separate buckles for the 5 different strap designs but after fitting samples I ended up going with the best and most expensive one. I initially wanted to have the logo engraved but as I am going up at the prices that Omega and Breitling routinely pay it proved too expensive this time. I also looked at 'Laser Etching' in red as per the logo but this just didn't look great laser'd so I have gone with 'matt black' laser and see how people like it....

I think it looks great but the I would.......

Here are a couple of pictures.



They come in little individual trays like this one because they are brushed steel and mixing them together would scratch the finish!

First week of December.

There will be 10 straps only of each type.

10 20mm matt rubber - £65
10- 20mm Kevlar style rubber - £65
10 - 22mm Cordura style - £75
10 - 20 mm Perfortade straps in Black and 10 in brown - £60


and they will still be too cheap! Damn!

Those buckles are just the thing to finish off those straps.

Is that the Mil Space Compax I can see creeping into the shot....?
