QUOTE(MeToo @ Mar 16 2011, 02:24 PM) I'm pretty sure the official SC is listed in their website. i think i should ask in this way, is anyone repair your swatch watch b4 (not claim the warranty/guarantee), cause i ask the swatch outlet, they said cannot repair..

QUOTE(evilnickwong @ Mar 17 2011, 01:44 PM) Just sharing a Zulu strap that I ordered from Westcoasttime. Have to say, it's extremely comfortable, durable and functional. Only reason I'd use a leather strap is to match better with dressier attire.  I've bought from many sellers and in my opinion Westcoastime also known as Countycomm has the best zulu/nato straps in terms of quality.  Howard is also a great guy to deal with. I gotta say your Mondaine on pvd zulu looks really good! Mind sharing which model is that? This post has been edited by iamadrianlee: Mar 17 2011, 05:11 PM

Yeah good service from Howard. The spring bar tool I ordered arrived damaged. I showed him some photos and he promptly sent another one over without charge. The Zulu is actually from Maratec, so definitely happy with the quality there. The Mondaine is a Sport I Chrono PVD Ed.

I also just got a Maratec Nato strap from Howard last week. Very good quality product and fast service from him.
Very comfortable to wear these nylon straps in our weather. The skin won't touch much of the back of the watch, so won't have that sweaty/sticky uncomfortable feeling.

For closest to historical, Laco. Stowa is also one of the big 5 flieger maker during WWII. Finishing the best but also pricey. Stenihart is newer brand, reasonable price and having good review. I find Achimede is the cheapo Stowa. I'll forget Aristo. This post has been edited by ck77: Mar 17 2011, 10:26 PM

Do that comparison its really comparing apple to oranges. Cheapest JLC is ~us$4k or a mid range Tag. This post has been edited by patryn33: Mar 18 2011, 10:26 AM
