Worn&Wound Is Hitting The Shore Of SEA! worn&wound is utterly amazed by the readers with their profound reviews, covering affordable to premium watches. The once humble blog on the watch industry has branched into launching their own brand of watch straps - Model 1 and NATO NYC, which quickly became popular additions to the wrists of vintage watch collectors.
On 2014, w&w introduced Model 2 to split the difference between the heavy-duty, finely finished Model 1, and the rugged, military inspired NYC NATOs. By mixing elements of dress and sport straps, the Model 2 has a retro aesthetic that is simultaneously masculine and elegant.

Yes Zhou,

SKX is a divers watch but the bambino is a dress watch! May not suite casual wear much. I dress it down with the horween 2 strap and wear it with smart casual wear. I really like it =) If you think it suits your style its totally worth it!
Where's your location? Interested in having a look (and poke) at your straps... Don't mind coming to wherever you are so you don't need to travel (actually I'm not 100% sure I will buy so don't want to susah you).

Hey no probz!
In fact, everyone is welcome to meet up and have a look at the actual straps. Not susah at all
I'm considering the model 2 horsemen olive e 20mm. Does this kind of leather gets smelly when it is wet?
Hey Snicket! The Horween straps are not water resistance so try to prevent it from getting damp.
Speaking from my own experience, my straps got water splashed from washing hand and even rain for few times. I just let it dry without using any cleaner/conditioner yet so far so good, no foul odor. I am a bad owner I know hahaha!
If it is caused by sweat, wear the watch a bit looser to allow sweat to evaporate and also clean+condition it more regularly.

Seems like the lug width is 21mm, same odd size just like the Orient Bambino . We have few customers using 20mm and 22mm, both fits fine as 1mm is not that significant.
Currently only left M2 Black 22mm in stock.
