The perfect pairing: Portuguese Hand Wound with Santoni

Shing, be sure to take lots of pictures, thinking that someone from North America is well known to all of us. LOL

Very nice combo!

Very nice combination. Congratulations! It will look good also once worn a bit more. I have the same watch and probably will copy you in due course :-)
I bought the watch in Oct 2011 and was not easy to find but there are still a few around. The ardoise subdial is really a magic combination. I hope IWC will consider re-introduce it.
All the best, Raffaello

Thank you everyone for your comments. I've been wearing it both at work and obviously after yesterday I confess I did not expect the leather to be that soft.

Every new leather strap has a break in period where it feels tough and nonconforming. The Santoni strap is no different, but I was caught off by how quickly it felt comfortable on the wrist.

I highly recommend it to you all because not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but it truly is high grade leather that feels good.

Shing - Unfortunately I will not be able to make it out that evening because of work. Please take many photos!

Definitely a nice combo. .
Looks great.

Sweet!...great pairing!

Looks beautiful. Totally changes the look. a definite two for one!

Congratulations with a very nice set-up, indeed!

How does the Santoni strap feel compared to the standard? Is it more stiffer or flexible? Any difference?
