Aero HBD and Fortis watch pics

Here's a few shots of the HBD after 5 months of wear and one of my favorite Fortis B-42 watches.
I think you'll agree that the Oil-Pull is looking pretty sexy!
Most of my watches are adorned with (extra long) Toshi straps. His site is found here. Rich makes superb straps!

Hey Butte,

The jacket looks great but I have to admit, I can't stop looking at that watch.. it's impressive.

I can vouch for Toshi straps too, I have one on one of my watches (sorry, got no pictures of it with my Aero highwayman)

Thanks for the compliment, I agree with you about Rich/Toshi's straps, and he's a good man to deal with, I only have one of his straps but am tempted to get another. The box stitching on the strap you have on your Fortis suits it, goes well with the pilot style of the watch.

I am also a fan of Sinn watches, as well as the 356 flieger II above I have a Sinn U1w.

Chalk and cheese:

Yeah sorry butte, I didn't even notice the jacket I couldn't take my eyes off that watch. I could never afford a really nice watch right now with two young kids and one on the way, I do have a TAG I got as a gift I rarely wear, I may have to put on one of those Yoshi straps, may give it a new life.

Yeah, I had to stop with watches for a while. They cost 3-4x what a GW jacket does and that doesn't include straps, winders and maintenance. I paired down to less than 10 so no more for now. But smoz reminded me I have a spot for a SINN cleared out
Getting a new strap is like a new pair of shoes. I rotate them and it does make a watch feel new.

AWESOME PICS ! - simply eye candy and yes .... pretty sexy ... and I like the combination with a great chrono with such masculin heavy leather straps. Wearing watches with different straps is like wearing the same suit everyday but with differents shirts/ties - always a different look.

OMH, been there, done that! Watches are an even bigger threat to your wallet as jackets. Like Butte I am down to just a handfull now an going to keep it that way. Here´s one of the Fliegers I don´t have anymore. It was huge at 47mm and quite affordable. I guess the Steinhart brand is known in the US too...

Hi Butte,

That is one massive watch, the strap is absolutely awesome! Looks like the jacket and the watchstrap comes as a kit! Will definitely take look at the website!
