personally i wouldn't buy a watch with a leather strap for the following reasons:

1) leather straps tend to wear out with usage.

2) you cant wear a leather strapped watch in summers as due to sweat, the strap kind of gets musty and smells quite fetid.

3) you would need to be careful not to come in contact with water which could and would damage the strap.

4) due to the aforementioned reasons, you would always need to change the strap on your watch once in a while, and original straps are hard to find too.

I wouldn't mind a good watch with a strap, as long as i only get to wear it for parties every now and then.

Byw a freind of mine is selling a tag heuer carrera in the brown dial and leather.let me know if anyone is intrested.

[charterali]

@doc, It ain't look good on my wrist. 48mm is just too much for my wrist. Probably will gift to younger brother. And more importantly bought something else.

A friend was desperately looking for a Carrera. Let me ask him.

[docebzz]

Now i am really intrested in that "somthing else" u bought.

[charterali]

[docebzz]

Vacheron C.8-|

[charterali]

Yes it is...

[docebzz]

email me the pics ASAP!.where did u get it from?

[charterali]

The story of this particular piece is very interesting.

I replaced the real names...

The piece was order made for Mr. A in 1987 who was a major shareholder of Vacheron that makes it 1/1. In 1993, Mr. B a friend of Mr.A bought it from him after consistent persuasion. In 1998, Mr. B got bankrupt and that particular piece went to auction. Mr. C bought it from that auction and gifted it to Mr. B. Which Mr. B gifted to Mr.A. In 2005, Mr. A sold this piece to Mr. D. I bought this piece from Mr. D after another interesting negotiation, the consideration wasn't money.
