New Zulu style NATO strap for my Omega Planet Ocean

I love the chunkiness of this strap threads. They hold their own against the bulk of the Planet Ocean.

Hilarious. Love it.

I like it. Is this model in any other colours? 

commented on Should watch photos be enhanced or not? ·

That depends if it's for a hobby and posting on social or if it's a professional product shot selling at the watch. Just don't kid your self about the purist analog olden days of product and watch photography. Photo retouching goes back decades with brush and paint on both the negatives and final prints. We also did optical composite for backgrounds and other vfx that could not be created in camera, just like movie old vfx. How do I know, I'm old and it was required for product photography then, as it is today. 

Context and subjectivity are also at play. What one person thinks is too much is fine with another, and neither views are wrong in my view. I think it was best said by @gbelleh "Enhancement is good. Unless one is trying to deceive."

Exciting times for the watch space on many fronts. We'd love to have those in the community help us get the word out!

commented on Sinn and Leica! Any other German brands you admire? ·

I've always been a fan of Braun, the older version of the company when the design was central to the brand. Bosch and Miele have carried on great design and quality engineering traditions.
