It will be about 7 weeks before we can deliver the Dievas Vortex to those who preordered. So why not make use of this chance to gather some alternative strap options? To those who has the Vortex now, please take a picture and post it in here everytime you put a new strap on it. Who knows what we might do with the ideas.  Ill go first.

Just my opinion but I think a black leather strap would fit the Vortex perfectly although Oscar's post of his new Vortex on a brown leather strap is really a deadly combo. I liked that post a whole lot.;)

the Vortex looks awesome on any combo of strap imho....I just put mine on a black lizard pilots strap with ss hardware and white stitch and I have to say it looks sweeeet!....soon as it stops raining here I'll get some pics up....the strap really dreeses the Vortex up but keeps the tactical/mil look alive.yahoo.gif

I was nicely surprised at how well the large SINN deployment fit. the buckle and the case are so close in finish, you have to strain to see a difference. Since the "transplant" was pic intensive i made a quick and dirty p-shop web gallery. It can be found here

How about trying it on a black matt elephant skin panerei style strap, extra thick to fill up the height of the case I think the grain would look awesome with the bead finish of the case

I agree with Joecb. The higher rise of the case will be picked up by the thicker leather. But again, if you ask me, the tan/brown strap Oscar posted a while back on his Vortex is tops.hand6.gif I don't think anything elese can beat that combo on the Vortex.;)

I am not a big rubber strap guy but if Anders makes one i am sure it will be cool looking and i am sure i would have to have one!

I got to say..I really do like the look of that gray Nato strap against the raw Bead blasted finish of the Ti, and the contrast of the black dial, Also the brown leather in oagaspar,s pick gives it a very different look , it is amazing how the different straps alter the look so much... It gives you a lot of use, with all the alternative strap options, very cool.

the bottom is stationary bladed, and the top is your pivot point..the watch is held in that honeycomb plastic block.. settle over stationary blade.. pivot top.. bang, comes apart... and you can produce alot more torque with the setup, so its not too stressfull. at least that is how i would want it to be used haha. ive been eyeballing the "indian" version of that tool for a while. but always pass because i can do well enough. but it is becoming time where i shoud actually own it.

Does the Sinn strap mount correctly with the Vortex lugs, or did you have to do any mods? If it's a pretty easy swap, that's probably what I'm going to do with mine once it gets here in October. As for other straps, the Bond looks nice, and I'd also like to see the Vortex on a black Nato with a single grey stripe down the middle.

Hey bozz....well first, welcome to 3T!!!! You will find this to be a very friendly and knowledgeable place for all that is WIS....feel free to jump right in and contribute wherever you can. Glad to have you!!! Very nice first post and sweet pic of your Vortex on the Zulu!!!! That is a super nice tactical combo!!! I am very confused by your pic however...the bezel on this Vortex "counts down" from 60 minutes to 45 minutes in the first quarter of the bezel??? I have never seen a bezel like this...did you have Anders custom make this bezel for you?? Cool nonetheless...and congrats on the very sweet Vortex!!!

Hi Stew77, Thanks for the welcome. I think that the Vortex would look GREAT on any band/strap..... My watch is #29 of the pre-order, all I can say is that the watch is great and Anders service is right up there with the very best. As far as the bezel on the watch I believe the first 30 pre-orders will have the countdown bezel instead of the count up bezel to make them a LE. Anyway the Vortex is one solid watch, GREAT job Dievas (Anders).......

since they are all numbered that would make them all LE's....I would wait to hear from Anders here until making any assumptions as to why some have count down/count up bezels which btw work pretty much the same and some WIS actually prefer a count up bezel although most divers don't use them at all since this method of measuring dive time is pretty much antiquated since being introduced by Rolex in 1954 :D

Hi, I did not make the assumption. Anders himself told me at time of payment in an email that the first 30 watches would have the LE countdown bezel to make them different from the rest. Do you really think I would make somthing like that up???? Give me some credit.

This has become an interesting topic (regarding the bezel type of either count-up or count-down). I have seen many pics of sub-#30 Vortexes without the count-down bezel which was why I was really surprised to see bozz's (bozz's is the only Vortex I have seen so far with the count-down bezel which is why I assumed that Anders provided this one as a custom mod). Hey...at least a few here at 3T have Vortexes from the single digit serial #'s. I would say that I generally prefer the regular count-up bezel type...seeing this one definitely had me doing a double take. Hey Anders...can you comment on what options you have going on based on Vortex serial #'s. Thanks in advance. Last edited on Fri Oct 2nd, 2009 10:14 pm by stew77 |

bozz wrote: Hi, 1st of all I wasn't referring to you but just making a general statement,my apologies... there are 10 of us who already have a Vortex numbered 1-10 with the original 0-60 bezels so I don't know how the 1st 30 will be LE's?... and according to Anders post below this new batch will consist of serials up to 31 and they have the different bezel?...again they are all numbered LE's as shown in the pre-order thread 0-71 which are reserved by # so the only thing making any of them different is the bezel and not the LE # imo...so that is why I stated that it would be best to wait and hear from Anders on this subject.. The first batch of Vortex is here! Hot off the watchmaking bench from Germany!  And undergoing our inhouse quality control. This batch will consist of serials up to 31. So for those who ordered earlier, we will be in contact you soon. There is a little surprise for you. Only exclusive to those who preordered early. Sincerely Dievas Watch Company

Just to clear the misunderstanding. Yes number 11-31 has the countdown bezel, we wanted to mix in a countdown bezel to accentuate the pilot theme of the watch. And also a little survey to how people like the different bezel. All others will have the regular time elapsed bezel. We did ask each customer if they mind a countdown bezel before dispatch. Best Regards Dievas Watch Company

After seeing elemental's with the Sinn, a similar Dievas rubber with deployment would be great! The Vortex looks great on every strap I have seen to date, and would still look "good" mounted on an old bird dawg's collar!

Although I still do not have an ETA for #77, I ordered today a Sinn strap with large deployant. In my opinion it is the best match I have seen, and the Sinn strap has a killer design. I will probably enjoy it as well with my Monstrum...

I put a oiled tan on mine which I think looks great and is very supple and comfortable. Kept the Dievas buckle. I didn't really like the brown strap that came with the watch- too like skin tone and feel the darker brown sits nicer with it.

+1 on Bond, and also on Gray Nato straps. The Gray Nato looks like it matches the bottom lettering on the face. Is that right?
