That's the original strap remember from auction...
In Response To: Nice result their Jeff ()

I think that's the original strap if I remember from the Auction correctly...

: I especially like that you've put it on the corfam (or look-alike)
: strap.
: I'll bet this one sits nicely on the wrist.

: Two questions
: - Are you one that winds your watch on the wrist OR do you remove
: it ?
: - Do you release the crown when winding OR do you do the
: "rock'n'roll" wind where you dont release the crown
: and, for want of a better description, unwind the watch on the
: back stroke ?

: For my own part, i like to remove the watch when i wind. I hold the
: watch with index finger on the back case & thumb on the
: crystal, when i wind i always release the crown after each power
: stroke and take a new grip for each wind.

: Enjoy your new Autavia (how about a wrist shot for once Jeff ? )

: Cheers - Darren
