Reply With QuoteHad one on my Pulsar...a great strap but slightly short for me on the first hole.

I've had this strap for ages and its been worn on many of my 20mm lugged watches. It is one of Eddies 20mm Canvass in the sand colour.

Fits on the 19mm of the 14755 pretty much perfectly:
Thickness works well with the straight lugs and love the colour - although as soon as Eddie opens the shop up again I'm ordering a green and a burgundy too! At £5 a pop there's no discussion to be had on value for money.
Hope you like the combo, anyone else a fan of the canvass?

I sometimes wear it on the exact same model Rod! Funnily enough also used to need the first hole, and I agree the tail is a little short - but the lost some (well, quite a bit) of weight and now using the third hole and fits well into the keepers!
(Not casting any dispersions regarding your weight, Rod!)

Comfortable straps but too short for my 7.5" wrists.
Hey Rod, can you recommend a reliable source for that particular Pulsar? I've always wanted one.
I've never tried those canvas straps, so I can't offer a valid opinion, sorry OP.
Oooooh, that Seamaster is divine.

+1. That is a real beauty. Want!Originally Posted by swanbourne
Big fan of those, the olive green is one of my favourite straps. Wearing a Seiko on a blue one right now.

Tease.Oooooh, that Seamaster is divine.

Oh and pretty sure everybody spotted your desktop in the Friday WRUW thread.
Assuming it's very much on the back burner now, but can't find the thread now for the marine watch with the blued hands.
My Prs 17c is currently on one of Eddie's black canvas straps. Immensely comfortable and perfect in this hot weather.
I have the sand one too but confess I am struggling to find one of my watches that it would suit.
Thanks Eddie. I recall seeing some tease drawings of yours before for this one... It is so worth the effort for a homage, the straight lugged case is one of the most elegant I've ever owned and the proportions are perfection. The hands are also very striking and catch the light along with the inner bezel in a great way to frame the dial...Oooooh, that Seamaster is divine.
Eddie
I won't ask how developed any plan is for this or what the likelihood is for release for fear of being on the end of one of those infamous Eddie 'No' smilies! I'll revisit the TF sub forum and have a dog around...
But if you build it they would come - and in droves I reckon.
Looking forward to TF opening again so I can get the strap order in.

Funnily enough I was looking for some different strap ideas for mine this morning. Hadn't considered canvas. May give it a try:
I've never handled one of these, does the steel ring rotate as part of the bezel or is the pointer just attached to the thin outer bezel?
Eddie

Inner ring is fixed Eddie, pointer rotates with outer bezel over the top of the inner...
Cheers,
Rob
Thanks. I wanted to make the bezel insert out of sapphire and that's proving to be problematic at the moment.

Watchgecko has a couple of variants on his eBay site.

Looks great on that SD, Dave - really nice look...
Sorry to bump my old thread, but finally managed to catch Eddie open earlier this week, (between orders for the '65 and the '30!) and got an order in for the olive and burgundy versions of the Timefactors Canvass strap. Was expecting a bit of a delay TBH - I only selected the cheapest postage option as I knew Eddie would be busy with orders of a higher value than my measly £10 for two straps - however, straps arrived yesterday - great service as always!
Initially not so sure about the burgundy, (but I think it may grow on me) but really pleased with the Olive:
There is something about the canvass that works with vintage in my opinion...
Cheers,
Rob
I'm pretty certain I can safely say no step, (nor indeed a 'ramp') on this one.... :)
Rob
my everest tends to rotate between a black canvas one & a grey NATO
Sure do... Combat 7 on a sand
Looks great.
