Lol... What you 'thought' was free promo??

All my promo is done free and in order to spread good vibes 🥳

Have the scav crew been telling you I reap men's souls or something? 😆

·

Yea!!! Had fun doing this

What I think* English gets confusing sometimes lol

And the crew told me you reap souls in general, nobody said men's 😳

·

Al, thank you for organising Strapalooza. Gutted to have had internet connection issues whilst travelling that saw me lose my consecutive days posting. I enjoyed it whilst it lasted & I hope others enjoyed some of my watch/strap combos 😀

·

Those of you who did this AND the Scav Hunt are absolute savages.

Image
·

I'm about to post my finale so don't count me out yet! This was grueling. I don't know how people do this every day.

It was a lot of fun to go through everybody's posts for this. You guys own some serious strap monsters! Incase any of you missed them, enjoy the highlight reel/honorable mentions.

@DigitalDivider Solid array of straps that would look good on anything. I may have scrolled a bit further back from the event but this is definitely my favorite(be it integrated and not interchangeable)

Image

@hakki501 Every watch was photographed perfectly. I would believe you if you said you were a photographer for a living! This could be a stock photo to advertise next years strapalooza 😎

Image

@Zeitmesser73 With no offense at all, this looks like something my grandma would knit for me! Handmade from a dear family member or not, it's pretty sick!

Image

@ghhitchen I see you have a type... My wallet is going to be lighter after looking at you watches 😂 I'm a sucker for a linen dial and have been looking for a some smaller watches to add to my collection.

Image

Who else but the evil Dr. @Aurelian Chiii makes some wonderful straps!

Image

@Strap_Man The shameless plug. VIEW IT!

Image

@JONES52 I learned something new with this one. Awesome strap with a cool history!

Image

@nenadp It seems all of your watches are STRAP MONSTERS! Ribbed NATOs have been getting a lot more wrist time for me lately.

Image

@Mike_2 Great collection man! I think this will have to be my favorite as far as straps go.

Image

@mjosamannen You could tell me this strap was made just for this watch. I don't think you can separate them now 🤝

Image

not submitted during strapalooza but I dig it.

Image

@PoorMansRolex This would be a hit at family events here in Maine. I knew grail watches were a thing. I now have a grail strap 🤣

Image

@Robcollects Such a clean combination. They really nailed the factory strap on this one.

Image

@Fonda.Dix BROTHER. What else can I say... This man understood the assignment 😂

Image

@MMerc5 Such a good match. My wife loves the flighty, so it gets a fair amount of time on my wrist.

@solidyetti Holy onomatopoeia Batman!

Image
Image

@Tempusology Great watches man! That is a collection that I aspire to have one day!

Image
Image

@weng_c Looks great on all the straps you posted!

Image
Image

@Arambula The man who put it all together. Baby blue is a great color that I wish we would see more in watches/straps!

Image
Image

Before we get to the exciting part I would like to plug those who may have missed day or two but have some solid posts/collections!

@TheSharperTheBetter Blue strap and blued hands. drops mic. And who doesn't like a good Spyderco.

Image
Image

@WatchWookiee Save some... women... for the rest of us brother! Solid collection!

Image
Image

@Hierophis69 A very MINTY combo you could say!

Image
Image

@kikuoibe Loving the color!

@timepiece.pete #swatch has a soft spot in my heart as my first watch was a swatch.

Image
Image

@kbeightyseven Own it brother!

Image
Image

NOW it's time to get down to business... One person stood out from the rest. For better or for worse I suppose. There were many great straps posted but this one really takes the cake... Literally???

Image
Image

Hats off to you @Fonda.Dix! Let's get some straps coming so you don't lose that SMP to a faulty "Costco Kitchen Towel" strap 🤣

·
Mike_2

Thanks for hosting this event!

Thank you for playing, Mike! I'll see you next year!

·
Chrononaut

This was fun 👍I was only a few days short 🥲

Don't worry dude, we'll see you next year!

·

Thanks for the fun 3 weeks @Arambula. Changing straps is actually a daily habit for me, so seeing others doing the same was cool.

Image

@Strap_Man I'm way far from being a pro photographer. Just a hobbyist too since I was a kid. Sure, you could use that photo for next year's ad, although I don't remember posting that particular photo as part of #strapalooza2023 hehe. Twas for the SNXS7x Week #snxs7xweek ;)

Congrats to all for joining. Twas fun seeing you all make the effort of wearing different straps daily.

I'll have to join in on the praise. Thank you for bringing us strapalooza. It was fun and I had the chance to try out straps I might have otherwise never considered. 👏

PoorMansRolex

I'm about to post my finale so don't count me out yet! This was grueling. I don't know how people do this every day.

I thought this would be fine, but the days of bad combos and bad straps have been real downers!! Can't wait for this to be over and I can return to boring but solid straps and combos every day!!

I'm still going for 30 unique combos... But my faith has been vaining at times.

Good luck 🤠

·

Great choice, I knew we had a winner when I saw the candle from @Fonda.Dix !

·

Had to copy and paste to get the later posts as there is a limit. No pictures are missing, just sort of double posted.

Thank you guys so much! I am greatful.

@Strap_Man I would like to donate the strap to the next contestant.

I am only competing for a badge 🤣, (if there is any)

Thanks

Dude, your comment lags the app like crazy. I had to log in on the browser just to see it lol

·

@Fonda.Dix Very honorable! Gotta say my next favorite would have to go to @JONES52. Love seeing new stuff!
