After checking out Steve-O-straps website from all of the high recommendations around here, I ordered a "crossbow" with red stitchings. I guess Steve is still making straps at a torrid pace because it took him about 2 days to send me a picture for approval. I think it looks pretty good and should go well with my Hamilton Sunset. Here's Steve's pic: |

I like the look of the strap... semi-stitch-less. Should look great on the Sunset!:dude: Looking forward to seeing it. |

This is kind of an oddball design, which I thought would fit in with the oddball design of the Hamilton Sunset. The red stitching should go with the red second hand. I'll post pics when it arrives. |

Looks like a great strap! I've got a simple 'ruff rider' on the way to try out on a couple of my 22mm lug watches. I really love the texture on it, wanted to attach Steve's pic but flickr's being a POS right now. Nice choice there, enjoy it. |

Very similar...the one below. Hell, I ordered it 10 minutes ago and paypaled 7 minutes ago and I'm standing at the door waitng for the mailman..............Patience is a bullS**t virtue!!! I figure it will give the old 36mm that was kinda standard back in the 1960s a little more visual size. |

It took about 2 weeks for my Crossbow to arrive from England. When it arrived, the watch it was intended for, my Hamilton Sunset, was shipped out to be evaluated for a stripped crown, so it took a while to get the strap on the watch. The Hamilton came back today (didn't fix it because it was way too expensive) and I mounted the Crossbow. To be honest I wasn't all that impressed with it when I received it. The leather is the same thickness as the Hirsch Liberty I had on the Sunset (I thought it'd be a little bit thicker), and the stitching looked like it may not last. Now that I have it mounted, I do like the way it looks and it feels really nice on the wrist. Still not sure about the longevity of the stitching but hopefully it will last for a while since I do rotate many watches. Overall I'm pleased with the strap for the money. Pics:          |

A little strange for me..................but interesting for sure. I think the stitches will last because they aren't on any stress points of the strap at all. |
