    Chapeau to Joseph Bonnie

    As some of you might remember, I asked last year about a good tropic strap. Out of those which were recommended to me, I went for the Bonnie choice. Ordered it, paid it, had an immediate confirmation... then waited for a few weeks, while the status of the shipment on the French post tracking site did not change since Dec 15. Eventually I wrote them early last week, and they said that, if it does not show up in a few days, they'll send me another one.

    Today, of course, the first strap suddenly showed up. I wrote to Bonnie telling them that the strap is here and they do not need to send another... But they told me that they already did send another one last week, and that I shall keep and enjoy both of them.

    I believe this is a great example of excellent customer service and it deserves an appreciative post...

    Btw, the strap is absolutely lovely. Soft, comfortable, very well made, a pleasure to wear my 2254 on it.



    Cheers,
    Christian

    I like them too. Have got navy, black and olive now!
    Only mild niggle is that my ideal size is between holes, but that can be said of most watch straps for me.

    Hi Christian,

    Are they precisely 20mm? Is it possible to check for me?

    Hoping they make a good fit for 19mm lug width without visible squeeze.

    Many thanks.

    I bought this one recently and I must say I'm very pleased with it. It's 18mm that tapers to 14mm which was a very pleasant surprise - most modern straps tend to have a maximum of a 2mm reduction.



    The only slight peeve is that, at this stage, I need to stick with their buckle as the two loose keepers slip off the end of the UG-signed one I was planning to fit. Need to find a 14mm UG deployant.

    Christian, that looks very good. I’ll try my GMT on one.

    I'm afraid you have the better of me - I've read it but I'm none the wiser.

    Thanks - I clearly didn't read it closely enough.
