Opinions on watch-strap combination


Recommended Posts

I have this Certina watch,

and I wanted to ask you guys what's your opinion on combining the watch with this Hirsch Osiris strap:

I am waiting for your opinions, and if you don't find it suitable, I'm waiting for suggestions from reputable brands, priced around the 40 EUR mark. 

 

Thanks,

Alex

It’s entirely your choice and what makes you feel happy.  I’m not a fan of bracelets and like leather straps,  the black strap matches the dial  and if you add a deployment clasp I think it would be perfect.....but that’s only me.

That's why I'm asking guys, to hear your opinions. Thanks for the input.

Decent  watch deserves decent strap.How heavy is the watch? If the case is on the bulky side it might  look too big on a leather strap.before you pay good money for a good strap.buy a cheap one see how it looks...see how  you like the proportions. most importantly  see how it wears.

The watch is extremely "light", it's also pretty thin at 10mm. What I liked about that Hirsch model was that it is pretty thin and flexible, keeping the "lightness" of the whole thing.

That  is what I was concerned  with.it seems to be a good choice  then..while  I can't  claim  to know the brand specifically  ,if you are satisfied  with  the quality  it is likely  a good  choice. 

The strap is from Hirsch, a reputable brand alongside ABP, Rios1931 and others. So quality is not a concern. Thank you very much for your input.

    • I think if you want to play Billy big b.ollocks then you have to have something up your sleeve, anyone that knows how to fight, plays dirty. Lets face it a lot of folk that voted for Brexit just rolled uk their sleeves to say up yours EU hoping for good changes. We have idiots for leaders and probably none of them clever enough to clean the shitty stick they were given. I didnt vote, what will be will be.
    • I voted leave too, my reasoning was the the EU is undemocratic, no elected officials. I don't regret it but I  am sad that both sides acted like petulant toddlers.  Shameful.  I'm not on other forums but if I was and left this site, would you shun me? Of course not, we aren't petulant toddlers.  
    • This is a type of tool that may be suitable to remove the bezel - though note that I'm pretty sure the watch should be face down - not face up, as in some of the photos of these tools on amazon & ebay! If you try one one of those, put the movement screws back in first to avoid accidents. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Removal-Professional-Remover-Watchmaker-Diameter/dp/B09XCH4QVN?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&smid=A296NCMMFVXSDN&th=1  
    • Hi, I’m constantly asking my wife to help me with removing the stem in order to complete casing. To expand, this is not a challenge for me when the setting lever is secured by a screw (older calibers). However when the setting lever is attached to a spring loaded setting lever axel, like on more modern calibers, I simply don’t see how to apply enough pressure on the button to get the stem out short of putting the movement face down with the dial and hands attached, which I’m loath to do in order to avoid damaging the dial/hands? what technique should I be using? thanks  
    • Many thanks for your advice (being borne in mind at present) & offer Dell. When I was given the clock the plastic anchor was loose on the arbour (it had split at the 'hole') &, after repairing this, I have been trying to determine whether the spindle (pin) should be perpendicular when the pallet is sitting on a flat surface; or whether, when installed, its L-R extremes (or alternatively its tick & tock points) should lie at equal angles from the vertical when moved with spring absent. I can get the clock to run but in every such configuration the top block has to be turned anti-clockwise (from above) by quite a bit in order to be 'in beat' & it always runs fast (despite the pendulum being set to as slow as possible). This makes me wonder if there is any particular feature of/fault in a torsion spring clock which determines which turn direction (if any) is necessary to get it 'in beat'; & whether there would be a different set of settings that would get it running nearer to time at somewhere around the mid timing/inertia position which would then allow tweaking of the fast/slow setting.
