With the way that watch is built and it's cost, I automatically assume everything is done for a good reason, and not done as a cost cutting measure.

I'll bet you're right, A. Strange how I am learning so much about Omega... I don't even own one, for crying out loud!
Still... It's good to know, right?

New watchband to freshen up an old workhorse
I took out my trusty EB Chronoscope the other day, and after wearing it with its stock stainless band for a while, I decided to mosey on down to the local WatchPrince store to see if I could find a new band to lighten it up.
I found what struck me as one of the nicest, most beautifully crafted straps that I had ever laid eyes on... The Di-Modell Chronissimo. I've never seen a sturdier leather watchband. I think it really freshened up the ol' chronoscope too.

What do you think?

Interesting that the band says "waterproof" Kevin.
Is the leather treated?

You can read a bit about it here:
Di-Modell
I think I said it earlier in the thread but DiModell is my preferred watch strap maker. I always look at their line first to see if they have what I'm looking for. They're really nicely made and really high quality. I especially like the loop anchor (the little red thing in the 3rd photo) which keeps the loop from sliding too far up the strap.

Tissot PR50 chrono on original Tissot leather for dress occasions on the left. I obviously haven't worn it for a while since the date is a day off. Modified Seiko 5 automatic on a rubber strap with deployment for everyday wear.

Yeah, I love the convenience and always prefer to buy from local merchants when I can, but the down side of the equation is the candy store factor.

Yup, but you can't feel/see anything. The leather is as soft as butter.
Good link from Leftnose!
Thanx

What is everyones thought on Torgoen? I am new to watches but just came across this: TORGOEN SWISS :: PROFESSIONAL PILOT WATCHES :: MODEL T10103 and I want it badly! Are these reliable watches? Well made? I'm not expecting much for the price but is it a worthy first purchase?

Hey...What ever happened to our Lum-Tec pre-orders?
We were promised delivery dates of July and yet I have not heard from them for payment or ETA's.
Anyone else hear from them?
